As I said, many liberals call in to the shows that I hear, and they give their perspective and fill in what the host leaves out. Some are very knowledgeable and, occaisionally get the better of the host. Some of the programs (e.g. Michael Medved, Dennis Praegur, Dennis Miller, and others) periodically invite notable liberals to debate their views on a segment of the show. "Right Wing" talk radio is not as one sided and bombastic as you perceive it to be. It is, actually, an alternative media outlet for information and opinion that is hard to come by (for those like you and I) that don't have the time to scour.
