Podcast

My grandson introduced me to podcast several months ago and since I have lots of time on my hands, I have watched many different groups and have come to the conclusion that podcast, much like talk radio, is mostly conservative. I believe the reason for this is that the impetus to start a podcast was that main media outlets were so liberal and these new entrepreneurs saw an opening for a hungry audience much like Fox News did. Many of these podcasters admit that they are liberal but not progressive. To me this means they are liberal the way liberals were years ago but the party has been dragged to the far left by a small but outspoken group. Liberals are for equal opportunity. Liberals are for a progressive income tax system. Liberals are for freedom of speech. Liberals are for a strong national defense. Liberals are for law and order. Liberals are for integration. Liberals promote unity. Progressives are for equal results. Progressives are for taxing assets. Progressives are for limiting speech by calling it misinformation. Progressives are for cutting defense spending. Progressives are for defunding police. Progressives are for segregation (identity politics). Progressives promote division. In time these groups will move further and further left until they become irrelevant. All the things that liberals want are the same things that conservatives want but they have different approaches to achieving their objectives. The best thing about podcast is that they allow people to express different ways of looking at situations.
