Evangelical Outpost

has opened a thread on talk radio - my nerve was one of the many he hit with this post. I'll clarify here that the post below had two main points - first, that talk radio is relevant because it serves as a news outlet to balance the leftward leaning big media, and second, that his post smacked of the sort of intellectual vanity I feel like I'm funding with my tax dollars that go to NPR. To boil it all down, it's really a difference in tastes, and the free market will dictate if your tastes deserve to exist on the radio. It's a mechanism designed for precisely this sort of a problem, so one group of people doesn't grow to resent another.
