This may be somewhat surprising, but these are areas where you and I share a great deal of common ground.  While I may lament the apparent inability of progressive talkers to compete with the broadcast juggernauts of the right, the issue should be decided in the open arena of a free market rather than subjected to the artificial dynamic of government control--whether directly by reimplementation of the Fairness Doctrine or indirectly by ideologically skewed local review boards or diversity ownership mandates.  Furthermore, I find myself largely agreeing with Glen Beck's assessment of ACORN which was linked above by general company.

[That said, I sort of preferred your earlier post which began with an acknowledgement of my "intelligence".  I was so flattered I may use it as my tag line.]
