The thing is that radio stations don't want to have liberals on the show, because they don't generate much viewership.  Why do we want to force the stations to put liberals on the show?  Why don't we do the same for the LA Times or NY Times?

The quality of right wing talk radio is really very poor. Even Medved has tanked in quality. What gets ratings I guess is inimical to quality. Or maybe the talk show hosts really do lack peripheral vision or something. Hugh Hewitt in particular  is such a pathetic partisan agitprop hack. Does anyone disagree?

My dad used to be a close friend of Dennis Prager, and almost went into business with him.  I think that his show is really hackish, but it still prompts me to see the other side of the equation, and he is a really awesome debater IMO.

Honestly, I don't really think that it's so fair of you to say that when newspapers like NY times and the mainstream media in general (besides talk radio) are very hackish.  We don't we give a fairness doctrine to the mainstream media?
