Air America going further down the drain

THE liberal Air America radio network is going to be harder to hear in New York.

Next month, it is switching stations - to a weaker AM station, WWRL (1600 AM).

Al Franken and his lefty colleagues are leaving WLIB (1190 AM) apparently because they couldn't come up with enough cash for the owners, former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton and his son, Pierre.
I guess a friend of mine said it best:

"Air America is destined for failure. The reason conservative radio is so successful is because people listen to it at work. Since most liberals don't work, how are they going to get an audience?"


Looks like he was right.

Anytime I see a failure of Air America I think thank god this country isn't as stupid as it seems.

My brother is big on Air America. It doesn't come in where we live in NJ, but when we drive up north to see a Devils game or somethin all he does it put that crap on as if it's word from the Gospel.

It's ridiculous trash. I don't know why anyone would listen to it.

Well Air America and Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.. are opposites.

It's far worse.



Republican hack talk show hosts can be retarded, but at least they're entertaining to some degree.

they were spreading lies, or it simply wasn't entertaining enough?

funny how entertainment from our political pundits seems to be more important than their integrity. "never mind the lies, do they make me laugh?!"

The reason liberal radio won't work is because liberals like to make their own opinions and not have someone else think for them

Why should I listen to Sean Hannity tell me why fighting in Iraq is the right thing to do...as a conservative can't I figure those issues out of myself? jees

They were spreading lies, speaking on retarded subjects, and weren't entertaining.

I've listened to air america when i had XM. It is actually very shitty. Its like a really really bad repost of F9/11.

I listened to it once for 8 minutes. They talked about how racist everything is regarding poor black men being recruited for the military...then proceed to say jokes like "next thing you know the campaign posters will have watermelon and rims on it". I mean....make the argument that mostly poor people sign up for the military for a way out... but leave the chicken and watermelon out of it.

Liberal activism was made for the internet...where you can scroll down until you find an article you like

That's why DailyKos is such a success and conservative internet movements are lagging so far behind

Being forced to listen to issues you are already familiar with is painful...unless you are a conservative apparently

"oh my god, the 10th straight day about how medicare is bad for 5 hours...yay!"
