Conservatives have radio. Maybe the television is too complicated?

No, it's just that conservatives know that the best way to reach other conservatives is on the radio while they are at work or on the way to work. The best way to reach liberals is TV while the liberals are on the couch.

That could be one explanation

You are right, conservative talk radio is huge. That said.. the average American will not listen to talk radio, but they will see more than the fair share of what the media has to say on TV.

You have to be into politics to tolerate talk radio, if your into politics you should have a candidate selected and reasons for that selection. Point is I doubt the Americans who are uninformed or misinformed and listening to talk radio, but they are watching the news at night. These possible voters are impressionable and easily swayed by what they see and hear making them a prime target for the liberal media.

I do see quite a few people listening to talk radio, but I think you're right, most people do not. I'll disagree about disinformation though, there is a good amount on both medias, so you can get it on the way to work, or while sitting on the sofa. Unfortunately, I also think the average American is disassociated and gets by with 15 minutes of information. There were exit polls in Kentucky (I think) during the 2004 elections. The positions people associated with candidates were unbelievable. 30% believed President Bush was in favor of universal health care and 25% thought Senator Kerry supported tax cuts for small business, these were people that were actually voting! There were quite a few other answers like that. Then you have people on the left and right that will vote that way one way or the other, doesn't matter who the candidate is. These are the people that spread bad information, unfortunately because it works on the 15 minute people.

The worst part is, we watch the candidates beat each other up, we beat each other up, and after, the candidates are all buddies like nothing ever happened. We get used, and nothing ever changes.

.

And that is why I hate politics and pay very little attention to what they say. It is more important to look at what they have done. Politicians say what they think you want to hear, then do what they want to do regardless.

I agree that misinformation can be found on all networks, that said we both know the Liberal media far outnumbers the media outlets that are known for a conservative stance.

I've noticed that lately. It seems like they are grasping for straws. It's making them look very weak. Bad move ...
