I turned to the LTTE page this morning and saw this little charmer:
Talk radio balances out liberal media
While I admit that most of talk radio has a definite right-wing slant (Page 1F, June 27), I feel that it is the only balance for the rest of the media, which are definitely left-leaning. Most of the newspapers, including the Mercury News, Chronicle, L.A. Times, N.Y. Times, etc., are liberal as well as the news magazines such as Time, Newsweek and People. All the TV News channels, both cable and local, with the exception of Fox News, lean to the left. People criticize Fox news for being right-slanted, but in its defense I will say that by and large they do usually present commentators from both sides. It is the only channel on which you can even see/hear the view from the right. In view of this, I think it totally unfair to try to silence or restrict talk radio.

I'd reply to it myself, but I can't get beyond the 4-letter words in my head. And so many of you are so much more talented than me. If any of you ae so inspired, please...
