I don't listen to Progressive media any more than Conservative media. I stick to public radio, where they'll have one person on from Heritage, and another from Brookings, or one from The American Enterprise Institute, and another from Mother Jones. On the issue of gun control, they'd have someone from the NRA, and another person from Brady. In no case is there yelling, or making up stupid nicknames for the other side. They disagree, but civilly. Left wing radio (Pacifica) is batshit kooky. So is Right wing radio, and there's a lot more of it.

Anyway, it was a joke. However stupid the listeners to Right wing radio are, even *they* wouldn't believe anything quite that wacky. Well, most of them wouldn't. At least I hope not.
