There's also a Bob Barr interview:

I don't get it. It's owned by Clear Channel. It's affiliated with FOX News. And then they interview liberty candidates.

Oh well. :D

I have an RSS feed of "Ron Paul" Google News results. ;)

I work for their rival station WTN as a producer. I actually had Ron on our station (thanks to LadyJade/Rachel) a couple of weeks ago (and several times during the campaign). You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYfdcMwhZf8

Also you have to remember that talk radio is actually very independent for the most part. At least at the local non-syndicated level. Most local hosts can have on whoever they want and say whatever they want so long as they don't cause the station to lose revenue. Remember talk radio is entertainment designed to keep you listening long enough to stay tuned in throughout the commercials.

Even Rush and Savage and Hannity can say whatever they want on their shows in most cases. However what they say is sometimes directly proportional to how close they are to the inside establishment. For example many don't give Savage the time of day but yet he says whatever he wants. Whereas someone like Rush or Hannity will frequently tow the party line, but get more "insider" information because of it.
