The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.

Anything presented as news should be kept separate from opinion. If it’s news, you should be able to defend it like it was said under oath.
Personally, I would love it if news channels had to distinguish opinion content from news by removing the word news from the screen and replacing it with the word opinion. That or some other clear and unmistakable signal to the audience should be there to establish whether the station is going on record and asserting facts or whether this is some talking head spewing bullshit.
It’s crazy that news papers have been doing this forever. You have your news section and opinion and editorial section. TV and radio should definitely follow the format and be clear about what they are presenting.
I mean News Corp lawyers testified in court that what is presented on Fox News is purely for entertainment and should not be considered news.
How many of the Fox Faithful know about that? And would anything change if they did?
