I complained to my local stations (WHIO Dayton) program manager Larry Hansgen) a while ago about the fact that the sration is almost 24/7 right wing propaganda. His reaction? I would program the devil himself if he gets high ratings.
Thanks for your honesty, asshole

The reality is that liberals don't spend endless hours listening to talk radio shows. If they did, Air America would have been successful.
