Randy, I love you too.  I send kisses, in fact.  But no, I am not 
"host to a liberal mindset."  In 28 years of consulting, I've trained 
many successful conservative talkers and am proud of my work.  But I 
would like to see the best liberal talkers get a chance to shine, and 
in the current radio environment, that often is not possible.  That 
is ALL that I was saying.  On radio, scarcity of ideas still exists-- 
and the idea that "the media" are liberal is a wonderful talking 
point, but it's a long-discredited myth. The media are 
corporate.  They do what they think will make money more often than 
not.  And for many group owners, they think it's easier to 
re-broadcast Limbaugh rather than develop new and interesting talent 
or offer new and interesting points of view.
