L.I. Radio Show Challenges
Conservative Dominance
By Mo Ibrahim
The notion of media's
liberal bias has been much overstated. Nowhere is this clearer
than in talk radio, famously dominated by such conservative
voices as Rush Limbaugh, Curtis Sliwa, Sean Hannity and
Bob Grant. In recent years, progressives have gotten more
traction on the Internet than on the airwaves.
Lately,
however, lefties have begun to challenge the right's rule
of talk radio, with efforts like Air America Radio (1190
AM), the nationwide network featuring such liberal attack
dogs as comedian Al Franken and actress Janeane Garofalo.
Now
LI is the locus of another, albeit smaller, assault on conservative
control, with an Internet import called OutrageRadio. Mike
Tulipan, the man behind liberal website OutrageNation.com,
is bringing the weekly talk show segment of his website
to broadcast radio. On Oct. 25, OutrageRadio made its debut
on LI's oldest radio station, WGBB (1240 AM), which reaches
Nassau, western Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn and even parts
of New Jersey.

I do now?' " says Michael Tulipan, who hosts the "meetups"
and is president of OutrageRadio, a political talk show.
