After reading the very interesting comments above - about Matt Stadlen - (a presenter that I have hardly heard) I am starting to think that the owners of LBC are serious about political balance.
In fact I now realise why my eyebrows momentarily twitched a couple of years ago when Shelagh Fogerty took over the 1pm slot.”
lbc is right wing, neo liberal and pro zionist. these are the core attributes of all their presenters, not one of them falls short. so lbc doesnt need to direct an agenda since they already subscribe to it without the need for direction from the top.

he's superficially the same. theres far more going on underneath.

The previous versions lacked the intellectual capacity to challenge any of the Liberal views expounded by JOB.....they just knew that they felt rage when they were "not listening" every weekday.
And so....the dumbed down attacks on JOB (and sometimes the O'Brien family) started.Lots of posts with no relationship whatsoever to this thread or to the output of LBC.
But it is always fun waiting for the next one.

JoB is an aspirational middle class, middle england "right wing" , "christian" "zionist" (all things he's attributed to himself in the last month or so). he appears 'liberal' because so many of the other hosts are not. he appears left because his usp at lbc is that he's taking the role of the resident lefty (which he certainly isnt).
