It is really hard to find liberal media these days.

On radio I think the reasons are pretty simple.

For a while I kept liberal talk radio on one of the buttons on my car
raio and I cycled back and forth. On the conservative talk shows I
would push the button away from the show any time they got to personal
insults. Certain voices I learned to push the button away at the first
sound of their potty mouthed voices. The result was few shows that I
ever listened to but in many cases it took a while before I dropped
the show. In the end the number didn't hit zero. And it wasn't the
popular ones that remained. On the liberal talk shows I did the exact
same thing, push the button away from the show as soon as they got to
personal insults. Very rapidly there were no liberal talk shows on the
air that I would listen to during the hours of my commute.

Conclusion is some conservative talk shows try to stay with matters of
principle but only a few manage it, while all of the liberal talk
shows I heard proceeded directly to personal attacks. The only people
interested in personal attacks are the ones very biased to a specific
side in the first place. It's a bit cliche'. Liberal is supposed to be
about feeling; converative is supposed to be about thinking. The cliche
ended up working, somewhat, on my radio button settings.

For news I found some of the public radio ones fairly close to centric
others so left I don't have any trouble calling them commies or even
soviets. But that still leaves a number of nearly centrist news folks
on public radio. So far so good. The problem is the signal. In my
experience public radio stations and classical music stations broadcast
in very low power. I figure they have low budgets and can't afford high
electricity bills.

You don't have access to newspapers and news magazines in your neck of
the woods?

Exactly. The conservatives hold the radio the liberals hold the print.
Hold majorities, that is. No one has any exclusive hold on any of the
media.
