Color us all surprised - we were under the impression that journalists were unbiased, neutral, disinterested stewards of facts and information. Liberals will deny and try to obfuscate and distort this, but all you have to do is follow the money and see who 'journalists' personally open their wallets for while pretending they have no biases.
This list puts Former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta's (D) "study" on talk radio into some context.
The extent and depth of this bias is unbelievable how biased the 'news media' (all media, including TV, radio, magazine and newspaper). Click below the fold to see the 5-1 pro-Democrat imbalance of just the nation's newspaper journalists:

LOL!
Could it be that journalists, like most people with a higher education, don't support the current Republican party because is it filled with rascists, hypocrites, and religious wack-jobs?
Nah, it couldn't be that now could it?

Bo votes Libertarian.
By the way, there is another report out showing that 90% radio talk shows are dominated by the right wing. But so what, this war is not about right vs left. It is about right vs wrong - and all the Republicans except Paul are pandering to religious right extremists who are so far removed from the teachings of Jesus Christ they may as well be cannibals.
Next.....

Sports talk? Democrats. News? Democrats. TV news? Democrats. Newspapers? Democrats. Magazines? Democrats. Online magazines (Slate, etc.)? Democrats. NPR? Democrats. PBS? Democrats. News radio? Democrats.
And they're (with the exception of sports) supposed to generally be objective and non-partisan. They aren't. We have statistical, financial evidence of this now. We see that talk radio is the ONE format which liberals want control of but have absolutely no answer for and no control over. Stalinists will advocate government control, but that controls will also have to now extend to the news media. Hence, a crisis of the First Amendment. It isn't like there's a law preventing liberals from engagin in political talk radio (Rhani Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Taylor Marsh, Ed Schultz, Al Franken, Sam Seder, etc.). There are plenty of lib talkers. The just plain SUCK.
For BO, only 100% Democrat opinion and Democrat-filtered news all-day-all-the-time is acceptable. He wants to live in a Democrat-approved echo chamber, and can't as long as political talk radio is ruled by conservatives, balancing the uniform one-sidedness of the media. That's a damn shame.
No wonder he's so ticked by this story.

Sorry Genie, your theory does not pass the smell test:
Ed Schultz: ‘How Many Markets Do I Have To Beat Hannity In Before I Get 200 Or 300 Stations?’
Progressive radio host Ed Schultz appeared on MSNBC last night to discuss the new report by the Center for American Progress and Free Press, which revealed the conservative monopoly that currently exists over talk radio.
Schultz — the host of the most popular progressive radio show in the country — debunked the right-wing myth that conservatives dominate simply because they are winning in a “free market.†Schultz explained that the market is being controlled by a few ownership groups that are forcing conservative talk shows into local markets:
I beat Sean Hannity in Denver. I beat him in Seattle. I beat him in Portland. I beat in San Diego. How many markets do I have to beat Hannity in before I get 200 or 300 stations? It’s an ownership issue. … The fact is, it’s market opportunities and liberal talkers, progressive talkers are being held to a totally different standard than conservatives.
