Why Conservative Radio Destroys Liberal Radio

Besides the likely possibility that conservatives are generally more attentive to politics, there is another reason.
What’s the old standby for liberal talk radio? NPR. Ever listen to it? Why not?
It’s horrible. I lost the signal to the AM station this morning and turned on NPR. I came in as an airy, aging hippy read poetry. It was grooooovvvvyyyy. Assuming you’re stoned.
The segue was some easy listening.
Then I was treated to a woman recounting her boring war stories of accounting classes. Her voice was perfect for a relaxation CD. I drifted off and had to get the car back on the road quick. If there was damage, I’m suing NPR.
Then there was some really bizarre easy listening from the indigenous denizens of…wherever. Then I got a lecture on something from a fatuous academic. I can’t recall what it was because it wasn’t interesting enough.
The only show I wouldn’t classify as a sedative is, “Car Talk,” on Saturday mornings.

Conservative talk is the polar opposite. It has angry hosts raising controversial topics. The callers are better, especially the wingnuts. Even the intro music is better. They have classic or grunge rock, not easy listening.
You don’t have to like the host, either…hatred of the host only drives up the ratings. NPR hosts aren’t even worth hating. Everything about right wing radio is meant to raise your blood pressure.

NPR, and probably most leftist radio, is a sleeping pill. Conservative radio is cocaine. Cocaine can outsell valium anyday.
