The Left only controls the Media failures..Whats up with that?? Why is Right wing radio and News so much more successful than left wing tabloid media?

The NY Times has a large circulation.

the ratings are ringers.

Newspapers began losing market share with the arrival of radio.

Right wing radio and news are predominantly owned by the corporate media monopolies that most profit and proliferate by spread of the conservative idiom. A fledgling liberal or progressive station/newspaper has a daunting uphill battle garnering advertising revenues from the BIG advertisers for the same ideological reasons.
A huge corporation or consortium like Clear Channel or Rupert Murdock can run a radio station or newspaper at a loss in one or many regions for a very long time effectively spending the smaller, struggling competitor out of business or into acquisition by the consortium.

This is NOT a good example of "Free Market"; but it is a great example market bullying and the need for vigorous Antitrust concerns.

 Have you ever thought those advertisers don't buy time because there are few listeners..and their hosts are dull?
As for your anti trust thoughts, I think Hitler and Castro would very much agree with you.Frankly I prefer freedom of choice and luck by hard work.

Nobody wants to listen to far left radio. So whats the lefts response, produce a better product? no of course not. Trust the libs to cry foul and run to daddy government to put a muzzle on shows that people are actually interested in.

I'm no fan of Limbaugh, but if millions of people want to listen to him, that IS a good example of the free market.

becoz I'm the only True Conservative left!   Anything else you see posted is a Typical Lib Response.

a couple of possible explanations for your juvenile banter. One, you are not taking your meds, or, two, you need to increase the dosage, or, three, you need a change in your meds to accomodate your deteriorating psychosis. Your symptons can no longer be considered just typical libbie amusement, you have a serious problem that needs immediate attention. Get help now. Best wishes and good luck. Uncle Harry.

All you add here when you go off your meds is board clutter.

Even Quad, in his own clumsy way, is actually trying to say something when he posts. Your posts of late are more like a little child yelling "look at me, look at me" at the top of his lungs.

Please do us all a favor, take your meds and come back when you actually have something to say.

which is the same as a Typical Con Non-Response!  Double negative, get it?!  Maybe not, since you don't seem to get much of anything.

Oh well.  Gotta go hand out some pistols to kindergarteners so they can defend their right to be as nervous as you!

that he admires you so much, he's imitating you.  

Of course nobody can do fucking nuts as well as you, but you can't blame him.  That's just your talent.

Put your other hat back on. You appear the same no matter what hat you are wearing. "Nobody can do fucking nuts as well as you"? Actually, I don't do nuts at all but my SO does them like no other, she is simply amazing. You should be so lucky. I was trying to help you but you apparently are beyond that point. Maybe if you would scrub up and find a woman for a couple of hours, one that could tolerate a miserable troll, you would have a better perspective on life.

snake oil sales today, Brother Al? You seem to forget that I haven't had a drink for nearly 40 years. I am confident, however, that you have helped out by consuming my allotment along with other mind altering products, how else could one explain your dementia?

at least until he gets back on his meds.

I don't know about you, but I have no intentions of getting into any ridiculous arguments with JackO, no matter which alias he posts under, unless one of his multiple personalities starts making sense.

admit, you are correct. Jack'O's mental stability is precarious. I would hate to have a part in sending compeletly over the edge. Keep working, the happiness of many deadbeats depends upon it.

It saddens me that you would use me as an example when scolding Jacko..I realize my eighth grade education makes me clumsy in my writings, when compared to the eloquence of those living in the padded walls Ivory tower, such as Jacko.

the technical term for the NYTimes is "broadsheet"  -- it's not a tabloid.

he is indeed the "conscience" of this board.  and probably it's wittiest contributor.

if I were compared to JackO.

I will take your efforts, clumsy or otherwise to actually make a point, even if I disagree with that point, over JackO's display of tourette's syndrome on the internet.

My sincerest apologies.

A True Con would shit on them TWICE!!

jack0 as the "consience", WOW! But then if you think he's "witty", you probably have a double-digit IQ, which explains your inability to percieve...

Why don't you do a net search for "Who Rules America" and read the facts for yourself. The report is a bit dated by 5 years or so but most of the mentioned Jewish moguls still are in power in the respective media companies.

Well, maybe you should have stayed in school.
