[Rhodes22-list] Political: Public Radio and TV

[Steve]

There is a reason why liberal talk show don't stay in
business and it has nothing to do with Conversatives. 
It is becasue there is not a market for it anymore. 
There is a concept in a republic; majority rules.  And
that is fare.  Also, in a free market society - you
have to sell a product that someone wants or you go
under.  Suppy & demand. 

As for being balance - the liberals have ABC, CBS, NBC
& most of the major so called newspapers.  What is
balanced about that!!!
