The war of "Liberal" Media vs. ...? "Conservative" Media?

?% | 1

"Liberal Media"
"Liberal Propaganda"
"Liberal Academia"
"Elitist Liberal"
"Conservative Views"
"Left Wing Fanatic"
"Homosexual Agenda"

I have recently, and regrettable, become addicted to "conservative" talk radio. I just don't know how. I like to listen to talk radio rather than music stations.

I guess I got hooked on the long 100 mile night drives I so often had to take to and from Philadelphia for college purposes.

Now I can't stop listening to their dribble. It has no intellectual value. Nothing is taught, nothing is explained, nothing new is learned (other than the opinion and views of the host and his/her listeners).

The more I listen to their "liberal" bashing the more I realize I might be a liberal myself. I never though I was, but since my own views and opinions perfectly contradict those of the hosts:
[Anne Culter(sp?)
Rush Limbaugh
Steve Corbett
Michael Savage
etc.]

I attend a University that offers many Liberal Arts degrees, and I don't see anything wrong with it. I've attended many of these "liberal" courses and learned a lot about this country and many others. In particular, I had a summer course that covered the history of the Caribbean.
What those people went though is simply awful. The Europeans wiped out an entire race of people in less than a hundred years. Than stole and enslaved people from Africa. Than the American Government re-enslaved the establish nations with debt (the IMF and World Bank).

I need some help understanding these hosts views.
