SILVER CITY -- A Silver City radio station yanked a liberal talk show off the air because of pressure from advertisers, the station's owner says.
"It's a shame that, in America, we can't have someone with an opposing view," said Matt Runnels, owner of KNFT.
The one-hour daily show, "Radio Free Silver," hosted by Kyle Johnson, was canceled Monday after running for about six weeks on KNFT.
Runnels said 20 to 25 advertisers -- including car dealers, bankers, pizza stores and furniture stores -- threatened to pull their spots from KNFT if the show continued.

You'll pardon me if I don't even bother climbing into the ring ...Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 05:36 PM by TahitiNut... or "playing" (where I don't agree to the rules) on a "field" (owned by someone inimical to my rights and freedoms).
The biggest problem "liberals" have is a total and abject failure to educate Pat Public about what "liberal" means so that (s)he knows what choice (s)he has. Most don't see a choice.
Yes, I agree that the DLC makes any "choice" even less apparent. Why? Because they're pretending that the "game" is about getting their opponent's fans to cheer for them, too. So, half the time they're not even opposing the other side ... but they're not getting a quid for their quisling-quo-pro.
Right now, even "honest" politicians are playing Prisoner's Dilemma, not with a goal of winning but of making the other side lose. Unless both sides agree to play "win-win," it's a "lose-lose." Under that circumstance, there's only one other choice: Don't "play."Some think the strategy in Prisoner's Dilemma is tit-for-tat. It's not. That's the lose-lose strategy. The DLC is under some delusion that it's tit-for-two-tats. Stupid. Really stupid. Suicidal.
Let me be clear. To me, "liberal" means win-win. "Liberal" means justice - equity for all. The only opposition to "liberal" is 'privilege' - and the only vested constituency for 'privilege' are those who benefit inequitably: the wealthy and powerful. Everyone loses, even those suffering under the fatal delusion that any system of 'privilege' can survive. Playing the conservative game of 'privilege' means playing a lose-lose strategy. Hell, that doesn't even rise to being a Pyhrric victory.
See, we're really not "playing a game" as much as we're fighting about the rules. "Liberal" means rules, not anarchy or 'might makes right.' Once we accept the 'rules' of privilege, we've all lost.
Systems of 'privilege' can only collapse in bloodshed and death.
Anyone contemplating a 'win' under such circumstances is completely insane.
