The reason conservatives "own" the talk radio world is because it is a world of debating. And in the world of debating, solid arguments based on logic and strategic thinking with a solid grounding in history beat emotional responses every time.
As usual, you are hilarious! There is no "debate" in right-wing radio. It is demagoguery pure and simple. If a liberal does happen to get on the air, the host spends time demeaning that person and their inputs after the phone is hung up. That's not "debate". It's what I call it above. Newt's favorite attack word against liberals, but psychological projection bigtime.
The reason that right-wing talk radio is so popular is that, for some reason, right-wingers need constant feedback and approval, and they get it by spending many hours each day listening to talk radio, watching FOX, or looking for you tubes and articles that support their beliefs and tell them what to "think".
Liberals, on the other hand, are more confident of themselves intellectually such that they don't need that constant support. They can actually think for themselves instead of parroting the talking points of the day, the week, the year, or the decade.
Talking points like "liberals are emotional". Is outrage an emotion? I would think so. Right-wing media is geared to get their fans OUTRAGED! It's basically what they spend all their time doing. And given that it has been shown that the mass of right-wingers are often uneducated and thus open to propaganda, it means big bucks for those on radio and TV and elsewhere who can provoke that outrage on a daily basis.
We see a lot of that outrage in your posts here every day.
