That also means that it is less likely to have that same emotional loyalty from its listeners. Liberal radio show hosts are more likely to act as moderators rather than opinion leaders like Rush Limbaugh.

I have no facts to base this on other than the fact that i am a "liberal" in the ideological sense and i have a daily rush hour radio show.

I respect other people's opinions too much to ever try villifying them. And i think that respect for other people's opinion i a liberal trait.

ANd btw i do not mean to take sides in American politics. Reps and Dems are two sides of the same american coin. "Liberal" is an ideology. Not a gang.
No, I think you hit the nail right on the head.

As having to listen nightly to Bill O'Reilly (my husband's a fan... ) that is exactly what he does.
