Drudge had it yesterday, but in today's NY Times, Jim Rutenberg reports that Liberal Radio Is Planned by Rich Group of Democrats:
A group of wealthy Democratic donors is planning to start a liberal radio network to counterbalance the conservative tenor of radio programs like "The Rush Limbaugh Show."The article has more on these starry-eyed whiners, but what puzzles me is how they can have failed to notice that there already is a liberal radio network.
The group, led by Sheldon and Anita Drobny, venture capitalists from Chicago who have been major campaign donors for Bill Clinton and Al Gore, is in talks with Al Franken, the comedian and author of "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot." It hopes to enlist other well-known entertainers with a liberal point of view for a 14-hour, daily slate of commercial programs that would heavily rely on comedy and political satire.
