That the right is always complaining that the left dominates the news media and all that when it is really the right, in my town Lowell Green and Steve Madely and Mark Sutcliffe come to mind, in Alberta, Dave Rutherford, in the States Rush and Beck and Liddy and Dr. Laura and and and yet the right is always bitching.

Yes, but, Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto are all dominated by a lack of talk radio, or, a softer dialogue. Left wing radio talk shows and tv shows dont work because no one yells back, no one demands that you explain your position. I recall a show where Steve Madely asked a caller what she meant by "canada has become meaner" under the Conservatives, and, she had no answer, she fumbled and stumbled for a few seconds then hung up. People dont need reasons to feel the way they feel about the Liberals or the Conservatives, but, right wing media is more succesful because its adversarial, its real dialogue and its sometimes yelling back and I dont understand whats wrong with that. Now..off to Mt St Marie for a weekend of bonfires and bad wine.
