Good enough?

Air America failed due to lack of sponsorship.
Where is all the support?
Apparently the limosine liberals didn't hink that Air America was a cause worthy of supporting.
As well as most of businesses that advertise on radio media.

If nobody is listening to it, there is no reason to support it.

[NYCFarmboy]

what were Air America's ratings anyhow?

[Sky Captain]

Someone has to support the radio station.
And if businesses don't like the format or think their product won't reach a target audiance(consumers with money to BUY their products), they won't waste advertising dollars.

Are you implying Air America listeners are poor or something?

They're not conservatives who are upset with Bush. They're moderates who voted for him who wish they hadn't. That's why they're moderates. They switch sides without allegiance to a party. Currently they like what the liberals say.

Most people in the country are actually apolitical - the vast majority actually.

Since when do consumers have to have money to buy products? Do you live in the same country as the rest of us? I thought all your type think poor people waste all their money on Nikes?

Maybe it had more to do with the fact hardly anybody listened to Air America?

[Sky Captain]

Sweet, a personal attack.

Air America just blows.

Not because it's a liberal network run by Democratic blabbermouths who frequently have their facts wrong.

No, the reason Air America failed is because of one person and one person only: Randi Rhodes.

She is the most unprofessional and bigoted liberal on the planet today.

She does nothing but blabber and loudmouth for three hours daily. She never allows callers to disagree with her. If someone is disagreeing with her she belittles and insults the person and before the person can make another comment she hangs up on the person.

Next, she was the one who called for someone to "shoot" the president. Seriously. I don't know why she wasn't locked up for that except that the government thinks she's as looney as the rest of us.

She frequently makes comments that have absolutely no basis in truth whatsoever. Moreover, she uses vulgar and sexually explicit comments on her show. One show she had was devoted to her complaints about having had a hysterectomy and her sex life afterwards - really.



She is a braggart for no reason, uneducated, uninformed, and if you had to pick one reason why the show failed, it is because of her specifically.

She just sucks, plain and simple.

How do I know so much about her? Because she used to work for WJNO down here in Florida and we heard her more frequently. I was so thankful when she sold her house and moved to New York. The only downside is that WJNO continues to carry her show here in Democratic Palm Beach county - the home of the voting fiasco over "hanging chads."

To the Right-wing nuts: Sorry but Air America hasn't declared bankruptcy. Once again you all have done a usual knee jerk reaction.

Here's a statement from Air America via National Review Online:

If Air America had filed for bankruptcy every time someone rumored it to be doing so, we would have ceased to exist long ago; it may be frustrating to some that this hasn’t happened. No decision has been taken to make any filing of any kind, we are not sure of the source of these rumors and frankly can not respond to every rumor in the marketplace.

That about sums it up.

Move along people nothing to see here.

Doesn't surprise me at all. The American right is so desperate by now, they'll jump on anything to defame the left, even if they have to resort to their usual fabricated FUD and BS.

A day earlier, the Bush administration’s Gulf Coast coordinator, Don Powell, said $ 44 billion has been spent to get the still-battered region back on its feet. A far larger sum — more than $ 110 billion — has been designated for the massive rebuilding project.

How can you people call yourself patriots if you never pick up a freakin' history book and actually read a little bit about your own damn country?

I'll even give you a hint: Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Compare and contrast pre- and post-Civil Rights Democratic and Republican parties.

If Air America is doing so great, why are they stiffing Al Franken, their lead star, out of about $30K?

Is Air America Radio going belly up? The troubled left-leaning network is dismissing yesterday's report by Think Progress that it plans to file for bankruptcy on Friday. But you know things must be bad when even your top star can't get paid.
"I don't know if that's true or not," Al Franken told Radar late Wednesday, when asked about the bankruptcy report. "We do know that there have been cash-flow problems. I haven't been paid in a while. Like, there's no cash flowing to me."

[Spliffdaddy]

No need to file bankruptcy when you can just stop paying your bills

And, yes, AirAmerica intends to file bankruptcy. Heard it from the horse's mouth.

Yes, and trying to be open-minded, I listened (or should I say, tried) to her show a few times last year. Yikes. The voice, the ranting.

[Cody Dawg]

Can you imagine being married to her? No wonder she's divorced three times! Seriously, she's about one inch from being a femi-Nazi.

You're wrong. Bush's approval variations are (and have been) tied to conservative/Republican satisfaction with him. Last week, he took some conservative stances (regarding detainees), and voila!...

Proof in the pudding that my analysis is correct, for the umpteenth time. Note the last sentence of my quote here:

Bush approval rating rebounds in new poll
President George W. Bush's approval rating has rebounded to 44 percent, the highest level in a year, in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Bush's approval rating jumped five points from 39 percent in the previous poll conducted earlier this month.

The bounce comes with seven weeks before elections to deicide control of Congress amid falling gas prices and a renewed campaign by Bush to boost support for the Iraq war and to portray Republicans as more competent than Democrats on security, the newspaper said.

Bush's approval rating edged up largely on the strength of Republicans coming back to the fold with 86 percent saying they support him now, compared to 70 percent in May, USA Today said.

Now, if your analysis was correct, this poll boost would be dues to moderates and liberals "switching sides" to Bush's camp, all-of-a-sudden agreeing with Bush and supporting Republicans. I disagree with that assessment. The boost is due to his satisfying conservatives on recent issues.
