OPINION: 'Far too many liberals don't watch much news, don't read newspapers, or pay much attention to day-to-day politics,' writes Bob Lee, a retired broadcaster in Tucson.
Again, my friend, Ray Lindstrom, the prolific op-ed writer and Oro Valley liberal, rails against all things conservative, blaming the late Rush Limbaugh for the Jan. 6 incident at the nation’s capital and other issues we bad Republicans have caused in the aftermath of Rush “clones” popping up all over the airwaves since the late 1980s.
Rush developed his “style” at a Sacramento, California radio station in 1984. Joining the ABC Radio Network in 1988, his show quickly caught on with conservatives, who finally had an informative, opinionated and entertaining media voice that resonated with them. And, being “talk,” Rush was tailor-made for the struggling AM radio band at that time. Many said Rush single-handedly “saved” AM radio when FM Stereo was dominating music listening everywhere. .
No, my friend, the real issue today goes well beyond “the media.” There are typically more liberal Democrat voters than Republicans, and ratings show even many Democrats don’t much care for liberal-leaning media outlets like MSNBC or CNN. Far too many liberals don’t watch much news, don’t read newspapers, or pay much attention to day-to-day politics. They all do seem to “vote the party” come election time, though.
