There really aren't huge liberal radio talk shows. For whatever reason is a medium liberals haven't done well in.

On TV, basically all the programs but the ones you listed

well i heard also in radio talk show that the Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards. As a former presidential candidate and United States senator, Bill Bradley brings a rare insight and knowledge to the interviewer’s chair. Bradley and Edwards also share an optimistic view of the potential of what this country can accomplish if united under strong and compassionate leadership. Well im kinda in to political issiues right now since the US election is near..oops incase you don’t know Senator Bradley’s interview with John Edwards will air December 10 today at 5:00 am, 7:00 am, 12:00 pm, 2:00 pm, and 11:00 pm. All times ET in Sirius radio in satellite radio....

many thanks!

I'm not sure that's really true. Right of center blogs have had a major impact as media watchdogs and in getting out stories that the MSM has not. Think of the fake Reuters photos, Dan Rather, or any number of other things.

Liberal radio has just never managed to take off. But its prescence in TV is undeniable, both on network and cable (although cable is more unabashed).

I would say Olbermann would be the best of the left-wing demagogues. He's pretty impassioned, but I generally agree with him, and he definitely has a brain.

I would count AirAmerica out, though. Yeah, they're left wing, but they're CRAZY left wing (and this is a Socialist speaking!), and do not really have much of a base to my knowledge.

Liberals own the newspapers. All the major ones anyway.
