They Need Better Hosts

Springer joins liberal foray into talk radio

Liberal talk radio shows are beginning to find a place in American broadcasting after years of dominance by Rush Limbaugh and his conservative cohorts.

Despite the fresh infusion of high-profile names into market – including Jerry Springer, whose program started last week on WCKY-AM – no liberal talk show host can yet claim the clout of Limbaugh, whose show is heard on nearly 600 stations and reaches an audience of about 20 million each week.

Because station formats change so frequently and some stations offer both liberal and conservative commentators, industry officials aren’t sure how many all-conservative or all-liberal talk stations there are.

Perhaps liberal radio would grow if they tried to get better hosts.

  1. It may help if they chose people that the public doesn’t know. It seems to mean that the people that are out there now, had a reputaion, good or bad, that limits them at start up.

    Nazi Propaganda by Joseph Goebbels

    More than ever, however, we believed in him and in his strong and unshakable belief in the greatness of the Reich and the historical mission of the German people. Because he believed so firmly and unshakably, the Greater German Reich has become reality.

    Today we once more join with him in this strong and unshakable belief in the greatness of the Reich and the historic future of the German nation. Loyal and unshakable, we trust this man and his historical mission, and will do everything to ensure that his orders will always find a ready and determined people.

    In the closing hours of the old year, we Germans join for the first time in a great national community and give our warm and fervent thanks to the Almighty, who so blessed our land in this last year. We pray that he give the Führer strength and health. May he rest always in God’s divine grace!

    We promise the Führer that we will remain his most obedient and loyal followers.

    substitute a few words here & there.
