The bottom line IS....Rush, and Hannity are successfull because THEY put out a product that people want....period....

Advertisers pay BIG money to buy time slots during thier broadcast....people LIKE hearing the truth for a change....

The democrats have TRIED to do the same, and they went Bankrupt ..ie 'Air America'....

and it just frosts the democrats that they don't have a voice to compete, so they want a law established to either 'censor' what radio is doing now, or they WANT to force 'free enterprise' to mandate equal time on the radio....

....and show me where hannity and company are NOT telling the truth....but, be sure to ALSO not forget about ABC, CBS, NBC MSNBC, CNN  and the left leaning networks that have been dominating the media for YEARS now.....

Well said Henry.  Might I also add that Hannity also has the documentation to back up what ever he's talking about.  No spin just fact.

That's not the bottom line and liberal media is a farce. Anything that doesn't have the spin in the direction of  Faux news is considered liberal by the right wingers. In other words, any news source that doesn't cater to the tender sensibilities of the conservatives, sources that perhaps tell the truth, even when it isn't what you want to hear, is considered liberal.

You don't think Hannity spins? :rotfl:

you honestly think that the media, by and large is NOT liberal?

another thing, Hannity is NOT the nightly news...he is an entertainer NOT a Journalist...he give his opinion, and PEOPLE like to hear it, THAT is why HIS show is High in the ratings....then you have CBS and Katie Couric

money and popularity do not equal truth.  never have, never will.  for a time, howard stern had the most listened to broadcast in america.  was it because of his "integrity"?

No it isn't. That's an excuse that the Conservatives use to cover their own failures. Broad coverage that includes ALL the facts is considered "liberal media", because Conservatives don't want the entire truth. So, they make the claim, "oh, that's just liberal media" as if that's supposed to make it any less factual or relevent. If anything you should be concerned not about "liberal media", but the profit motive. That's what your news coverage is based on.

There are people who read the opinion columns of newspapers and take them for fact, rather than the opinion of the writer. So, obviously there will be those people out there naive enough to believe the Hannitys because they think it's "fact" and not "spin". I believe those "entertainers" have a responsibility to provide a disclaimer that their views are just that, for that reason.

As for debating Hannity? I'd take him on any day.

Just a thought....when did you guys stop calling it the "mainstream" media?
Did you sudddenly realize that "mainstream" equates with the opinion of the majority?

Mainstream, like NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, LA Times....

PIYA, your words can easily reflect those on the right about the media....everyword....you are just so far left, you don't know any better..and, I'll admit, I'm pretty far right...

Bo, by your rules, the Majority likes the truth...that is why Foxnews leads other news channels...and why Rush, leads all of talk radio...bill oreilly  lead cable news shows and Hannity and Combs is up there...

and one last word...

liberals are poopie heads...and NO CHANGEBACKS!.... ;) ;D

"The Ratings Mirage
Why Fox has higher ratings--when CNN has more viewers

After exposure to countless similar stories published since January 2002, when Fox was reported to have surpassed CNN in the Nielsen ratings, one might naturally conclude that Fox has more viewers than CNN .

But it's not true. On any given day, more people typically tune to CNN than to Fox .

CNN viewers tune in briefly to catch up on news and headlines, while Fox viewers watch longer for the opinion and personality-driven programming. Because the smaller total number of Fox viewers are watching more hours, they show up in the ratings as a higher average number of viewers."

Truth has no expiration date.

That was then this is now and that particular truth could have changed.  People change, facts change, and data changes so what was truth then is not necessarily truth now.  For instance have your viewing habits changed in any particular area in the last few years?
