There are plenty of left-wing talk shows

I had to laugh at the July 30 letter by Walter Sullivan. He says there are no left-wing radio talk shows. There are plenty them. He just doesn't listen to them.

Some prominent examples of liberal talk radio shows in national syndication include Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Bill Press, The Young Turks and Fox News host Alan Colmes. Even Ronald Reagan's son, Ron Jr., had a left-wing radio show. National Public Radio is a network to hear non-biased programming.

As far as issues go: Anthropogenic climate change (linked to greenhouse gases caused by human activity) is an established scientific fact that only five of the top 1,000 climate scientists worldwide disagree with. As to the bank bailouts, the Bush administration initiated Troubled Assets Relief Program. Republicans were the party that deregulated Wall Street and Big Oil, Gas and Coal and just look where that got us. Does Mr. Sullivan want to live in a polluted world?

Right-wing radio talk shows are so slanted it's unbelievable. They're just a bunch of conspiracy theorists and only want to scare people into thinking that everything in the world is President Obama's fault. Give me a break.
