We Need More Liberal Talk Radio NOW
The talent is out there. I am addicted to Thom Hartmann - but I have to listen to him on the internet. Same for Mike Malloy and Marianne Williamson.

We need liberal talk radio on broadcast radio. I propose that we urge corporations with a Progressive philosophy (eg. Ben & Jerrys) to underwrite these programs in major markets.

1. There is Anshell coming out
but the Democrats have close relation to it. I hope that it won't be some DLC/DNC party before philosophy thing. I would like it to represent greens as well.

7. Why? We don't need to be told what to think or entertainers to agree
with.

We use our brains.

2. Molly Ivins would be superb for a liberal talk radio show.
I agree with you. That market is out there. Ben and Jerry's is a good start. As is contacting Working Assets, the long distance company that contributes to liberal organizations.
