“If conservative programming were not favored, sponsors would dry up and the programs would go away.”

I agree completely with this statement. Let the demand drive the market. Keep the “public airwaves” truly for the public and not what the government thinks is in our best interest.

Now this statement:

“Logic dictates that if more people agreed with the Democrats’ message, they’d have supported the programming.”

I think if there was a source for good liberal programming available, it actually could be popular. Just because AirAmerica was a flop does not necessarily mean that the Democrats’ message is unsupported. It just means that even Democrats have good taste in radio.

Thanks.
