This is what happens when fixed outcome in schools grows up

REPORT: The Right Wing Domination Of Talk Radio And How To End It

The Center for American Progress and Free Press today released the first-of-its-kind statistical analysis of the political make-up of talk radio in the United States. It confirms that talk radio, one of the most widely used media formats in America, is dominated almost exclusively by conservatives.

The new report — entitled “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio” — raises serious questions about whether the companies licensed to broadcast over the public radio airwaves are serving the listening needs of all Americans.

While progressive talk is making inroads on commercial stations, right-wing talk reigns supreme on America’s airwaves. Some key findings:

– In the spring of 2007, of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners, 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming was conservative, and only 9 percent was progressive.

– Each weekday, 2,570 hours and 15 minutes of conservative talk are broadcast on these stations compared to 254 hours of progressive talk — 10 times as much conservative talk as progressive talk.

76 percent of the news/talk programming in the top 10 radio markets is conservative, while 24 percent is progressive.

Not only that, but more research shows that BET is not watched by enough white americans, and in order to equalize this outcome, all channels will be required to broadcast BET 3.4576432 hours per day, beginning at 7:30 PM in each time zone. Web cameras will insure compliance in each household..

I mean that's only fair.

MORONS, the american people are CHOOSING, freely. You idiots are for forced quotas of mandatory listening because your ideas are INFERIOR and do not compete well. This irks you in your arrogant gut.

What's this "progressive" bullshit?
As though there's anything progressive about anti-liberty, totalitarian creeps!
A typical tactic of the left, to label something so dishonestly.

I want to see more people stand up and lay into the Jihadists like Forrest Gump laying into the heckler at Jenny's show.

progressive=we understand social justice, and property unless equally shared is probably bad, so if opening your mouth (at your own discretion) impacts this equality of outcome in any way, then social justice must be the priority in a truly egalitarian society. So STFU.
