I think it comes down to commuting methods and durations.

Well I'm in my car all day and I listen to NPR or right radio most of the time. One to get informed and one to know the enemy.

It was a smug assertion, and having watched people who question a leftist consensus get tarred as racists, homophobes and misogynists I think that "the left" is just as prone to conformity as the right.
Not to mention the tedium of listening to people agree about how GWB is the worst president ever, that global warming is all his fault, Iraq was a land of chocolate rivers before 2003 and that conservatives (unlike progressives) are all a bunch of religious know-nothings who believe in censorship, enforcing their social values on society and attacking social welfare programs (it's all only partly true). |

Fair enough. Yes, all "sides" have those that need the safe haven of "these people think like me", I've just noticed that those that listen to Rush, Hannity and the like seem to need that pat themselves on the back-we're the true Americans, we're the moral ones, science isn't always right, etc etc than most people do. And I'm not saying it's a conservative thing or even a Republican thing, it' just that small part of America that listen to Rush as their only outlet for information.

You said most left leaning folks don't need a preaching to the choir environment and that they actively oppose it. I think that most people of all political stripes don't need one (although the religious do) and that both mainstream left and right don't have any problems when there is consensus among their supporters, neither group opposes consensus.

But quite honestly, now that I have a six-cd changer in my car, all radio can go to hell. Except when I need a traffic report. ![]() |

I like Dennis, he says liberals are nice and there are many jerk's on the Right:

I'm hoping that a week from tomorrow morning, we'll know without a doubt who the next President is. I don't think I can handle another Florida or Ohio fiasco.
![]() I miss the Clinton landslide days, when I could go to bed knowing the outcome. |

On the political forum I run, it's VERY easy to pick out a conservative trying to be a liberal. It's because he preaches what he thinks the liheral point of view is, and that makes him stick out like a sore thumb. Quote:
Radio shows want the programming that brings in the most bucks, and that ain't liberal talk radio. Radio Pacifica accepts no corporate advertising, and they are one of my favorite stations. They have great segments, great guests, and a loyal following, but no corporate fat cats to piss off. |

It's because conservative America is the true silent majority and radios and FOX news are the only legitimate places to get your news from.
You can't even trust the internet unless it comes in the form of an email from an insider Washington friend. |

Wrong. Take a look at DC, where the overwhelming majority of people are liberal, and the average commute by car is an hour or more. Like BVS, most of the politically-minded who make those commutes listen to NPR instead of saber-rattling doofuses.

The reason I know I'm right is that the forum thread here would celebrate if Rush and Hannity were off the air. |

Movies and music have no obligation to be objective. It would be the same as criticizing books. Each is the property and opinion of the writer.
