I actually agree with this statement. I am a liberal. I don't listen to Air America. It's never held any appeal to me. Personally, when I listen to the radio, I don't want to hear my own viewpoint coming back to me. I want to hear diverse opinions about diverse topics--not just politics.
Usually, though, I just listen to public radio or the college radio station. One of the most interesting things I've heard on NPR in the past few weeks was an interview with former Secretary of State James Baker on Fresh Air about his new book. Another one was an interview on NPR Weekend Edition with a Democratic political consultant and a Republican political consultant about the chances for the Democrats in the upcoming election. Interestingly enough, they agreed that the Dems have a good chance of winning a significant number of seats this fall. A non political topic I found interesting that they discussed on Talk of the Nation was cochlear implants. Even human interest topics have controversy sometimes.
Things like that interest me--not my political platform repeated back to me over and over.
