RE: Why is Talk Radio Conservative?

The thing I like most about Mondays is reading Mac Johnson’s columns.  He always does a great job and I eagerly look forward to starting my week with his insights.

I enjoyed Mac’s column today and wanted to add one thought to it.  I think part of why talk radio is conservative has to do with intellectual honesty.  The feedback from callers holds the hosts’ “feet to the fire.”  Can you imagine how tough it would be to defend liberal positions on air?  For a liberal talk radio show to succeed, it has to be less interactive.  Of course if a talk radio show is less interactive, it has trouble holding an audience.

Anyway, great work Mac.  Can’t wait to see what you come up with for next Monday.
