BRN, I ONLY show hate towards someone if they show me hate first. I am NEVER the one to show hate for no reason because that would be wrong.
My unfair stereotypes you say? Um, both my statements on Dr. Laura, and Rush, are 100% No spin on it, no lies, no nothing....it is true. sorry you can't deal with that.
And Stephaniie Miller is doing just fine.
The trouble is, your posts imply that a disagreeable point of view (to your's) is an example of "showing you hate." The "joe six pack" comments about conservatives don't help to keep the discourse civilized. Sadly, this country is becoming so polarized that we can't even have a reasonable discussion without things getting very nasty. And it's getting worse.
The original point I was attempting to make was that AAR was not successful because liberals have their views represented by (taxpayer funded) NPR. They don't need to go to AM for such programming, because they have the non-comms.
Personally, I do not like my tax dollars going to fund what's on NPR any more than you would like having YOUR tax dollars fund those 'conservative' talk stations. But, that's not the case here, is it? Nonetheless, that's where most of Stephanie Miller's potential audience is. Meaning that, in the morning, they're tuned to "All Things Considered" and not to MSNBC.
As for Stephanie Miller's chances at success on MSNBC, it is doubtful that she would have much of a following because she is too polarizing. But it looks like MSNBC is in the process of doing rotating try-outs to fill time in the morning. To me, having a radio show on TV isn't very compelling anyway; Imus was a special case and they weren't even doing that well with him.
As mentioned earlier, MSNBC isn't really doing that well with anyone. They tout Olbermann as such a great success; but, when it comes to actual audience numbers, he is a minnow in Lake Michigan.
