Err America
Although I've worked most of my career in TV, radio has always been my first love. So, I've been fascinated by the problems at Air America, covered in depth over at Radio Equalizer.
Nobody with any common sense (conservatives) ever thought the concept of a liberal talk radio network would ever fly. Anyone who has ever listened to 20 minutes of their sorry programming probably can't understand how they lasted a week. The only reason the network has stayed afloat nearly two years is because it has received regular infusions of cash from liberal fat cats like George Soros. I thought liberals hated billionaires. I would think they would particularly hate Soros. This is the man whose currency speculation is blamed for triggering the Asian financial crisis, driving millions of poor Asians further into poverty. Many people committed suicide, some killed their entire family. Some countries still haven't recovered. If Soros ever sets foot in Malaysia, he will go to prison for the rest of his miserable life. But his tainted money doesn't seem to bother liberals. As long as Soros is a far left whacko, his blood money is good enough for them.

LR, failure for liberal radio is inevitable. Conservatives have no need to hear the same drivel spewed by leftwing politicians and media outlets, nor do they have any hope of hearing factual (versus emotional) discussions of policy matters by liberal call-in voters.
Left with little remaining audience potential, Air America type propaganda machines would do better in an all music (mostly emotional) format, in my humble opinion. -Vigilis.
I saw an interview with Randi Rhodes on CSPAN in which she said the only reason her numbers are so small... radio stations she is on, ratings, number of listeners etc.... Is because Rush Limbaugh threatened the big wigs at Clear Channel with leaving if they put her on more radio stations. She actually thinks Limbaugh fears competing with her show. The woman is delusional.
