MD: Ehrlich Uses Talk Radio for End Run Around Liberal Newspapers

David Wissings's Hedgehog Report has a great article on the way Maryland's Republican Governor, Bob Ehrlich, uses the conservative talk-radio station WBAL to get his message to voters without having it distorted by the liberal print media. Previously, the liberal Washington Post and Baltimore Sun had a virtual monopoly on major news reporting in Maryland, and neither paper was kind to Republicans.

But now WBAL offers Ehrlich and other Republicans a forum to reach voters directly and avoid the distortions inherent in relying on liberal-dominated newspapers. Needless to say, Maryland Democrats don't like this competition in political reporting and they whine constantly about WBAL.
