Media keep writing obituaries. Yet talk radio continues to thrive; ratings keep climbing. And the voices on talk radio are conservative - liberals keep trying from time to time, and they die every time.
This is an interesting position. Conservatives are vilified in the US media, except on talk radio - where the numbers keep moving up.
The best thing to happen in this market was when Obama made the mistake of essentially declaring war on top talker, Rush Limbaugh. In many respects, Obama truly lives up to his nickname - Obambi. This was a huge error on his part, but probably the best thing that's happened for talk radio in the last couple of decades.
Many recognize that there are two classes in America today. And that the situation has morphed.
What we now have is not so much Democrat vs. Republican. It's the Political class vs. Mainstream America.
There seems to be a backlash building against the mainly far-Leftist political class, as the rise in talk radio numbers clearly indicate. There is no rise in Leftist radio, as Air America has consistently demonstrated.
Americans of all stripes are rejecting the vituperative swill offered up by the far Left on the talk radio venues, and Obama's declaration of war against conservative values has been met with an amazing show of support by Americans - in favor of those very values.
