Please explain how radio is more listener controlled. And you're slightly wrong about radio. For the sake of argument, I'm assuming that you believe that NPR is liberal. Feel free to correct me if I'm mis-characterizing your viewpoint. "Morning edition" on NPR is consistently one of the highest rated radio shows in the nation (often beating Howard Stern by huge margins). The only conservative that gets better numbers is Rush. Sean Hannity is close to the ratings of "Morning Edition." Ratings for talk radio:

On TV, let's get real... we aren't talking about 50 channels, we're talking about a handful of channels that show a bias. And yes, anyone would admit that MTV, HBO, Showtime, and Comedy Central, while entertainment networks, are clearly left-leaning. However, there is no left-leaning 24-hour news channel on television. That's why so many left and left-center folks use "the Daily Show" as their primary source for television news.
Personally, I detest both television news and television and radio talk shows. I like NPR, because it mainly just reports the news and lets both sides say their piece.
