"Not "broadcasting" in general.

Stop your whining, the libs already have most of the TV broadcasting, as well as print media, so you shouldn't be so fearful of right wing talk radio."

Rather than look at news sources as being on a right/left spectrum, I think it is better to look at them on how reliably they inform their consumers.

Unfortunately consumers also need to be able to distinguish reliable sources from unreliable sources. Fox News has demonstrated that this isn't the case. There is a large percentage of people who confuse entertainment with news.

"Also worth noting, there is nothing stopping libs from starting up left wing talk radio. Why is there almost no left wing talk radio?"

That is an easy answer. There isn't as a large market on the left for people looking to have their views affirmed. That is all right wing talk radio really is.

"Even NPR cannot stand on its own without government funding.

What percentage of government funding makes up NPRs budget? Take a guess.
