Fair and balanced radio?

Ideas: The free market can determine the right number of liberal radio hosts.

The thought police are at it again, only this time they claim to have statistical data backing up their claims of victimhood. Liberal activist group the Center for American Progress and Free Press has come out with a report claiming to show bias in the talk radio world. Shocking as it may sound, they claim talk radio is overwhelmingly conservative. I hate to think about how much of George Soros’ money they spent coming up with the statistical equivalent of “the sun rises in the East.”

The center’s numbers are one thing, finding a 3-1 difference in the number of conservative and liberal talk shows in the 10 top radio markets, but its logic and proposed solutions are something else completely. . .
