Personally, I hate corporate FM radio but love music. Fortunately, I have Sirius/XM and get to listen to the music I enjoy in the car. SatRad also has liberal talk of course, but I seldom tune in because Underground Garage with Cleveland icon Kid Leo rocks.
You can't make liberals tune in to the squealing static of AM talk radio, no matter who you put on. I love Maddow, and never miss it if I'm home, but I have no reason or desire to listen to that while I'm driving. When my RW friends don't want to hear politics, they dial up sports talk.
So that much I get.
