Clinton: There are five people in America with more than two hours on radio.

There are many syndicated radio shows that get 3-4 hours a day, not to mention the numerous local shows in each city. There are many "leftward" local shows around my area. On national radio, right-leaning shows do tend to dominate. But shows fail to be syndicated because they don't attract a large audience in their local markets, for a variety of reasons, and aren't making money for the station.
Some people attempt to turn this into a political issue. I'm glad to see that President Clinton is acknowledging that it's only a matter of finding on-air personalities that will attract an audience, as the Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's do. He's right, if they stick to it, eventually the liberal point of view will have a more prominent voice in nationally syndicated radio. Until then, there is the internet and TV, where everyone is represented equally.
