It is mostly left wing progressive or socialist with a lot of right wing conservative talk radio.

Your question probably comes from a neo-Marxist teacher who equates democracy with socialism. The two are not equal at all. See below for accurate definitions.

A general answer would be that it can provide more and wider information for the public to make democratic decisions. However, it is never actually "fair and balanced" as FOX pretends. Others, like MSNBC, a very left wing station doesn't even bother to pretend balance.

True liberalism advocates: individual freedom, weak government, and free markets. Conservatism advocates: moral responsibility, strong government, and protected markets. Progressives advocate: social concern, omniscient government, and controlled markets. Socialism advocates: social responsibility, omnipresent government, and collective markets.
