Why do you-all suppose advertizers are unwilling to buy air time on the talk radio network AIR AMERICA?

I wonder how Carl Rove managed to black ball this one? Carl - you bad boy! No donut for you!

adios amigos!

Liberals don't need to be told what to think like conservatives do... that's why Air America radio isn't as commercially successful as conservative hate radio or FOX News.

Gawd I'd hate to think what would happen if an EMP weapon EVER detonated over the U.S. All radio and TV would be knocked out and conservatives would wander aimlessly through the streets with a look even emptier than the the one they have on their faces now... mumbling "Rush... what should I think? Tell me how we can make this the liberal's fault."

I thought Error America's 'Blame America First' liberal queefing was supposed to be popular?

Air America Radio Files for Chapter 11
Oct 13 4:22 PM US/Eastern

Air America Radio, a liberal talk and news radio network that features the comedian Al Franken, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a network official told The AP.


The network had denied rumors just a month ago that it would file for bankruptcy. On Friday, Air America spokeswoman Jaime Horn told The Associated Press that the filing became necessary only recently after negotiations with a creditor from the company's early days broke down.


The network will stay on the air while it resolves issues with its creditors, Horn said. In addition to Franken, the network also features shows from liberal talk show host Randi Rhodes and Jerry Springer.


Horn declined to name the creditor with which talks had reached a logjam. The company will operate in the interim with funding from its current investor group.


Air America also said Friday it had named Scott Elberg as its new CEO. Elberg, a former general manager of the radio station WLIB in New York, has been with the network since May of last year.


The filing marked the latest turbulence at the liberal talk radio network, which went on the air two years ago. This April, Danny Goldberg stepped down as CEO and was replaced by an interim chief executive from a management consulting firm.


"Nobody likes filing for bankruptcy," Elberg said in a statement. "However, this move will enable us to concentrate on informing and entertaining our audience during the coming months."

Only schlongheads like you give a rat's ass about AA, Rory.

Same with Rosie O'Donnell. Nobody cares what she says except you and the rest of the brain-dead necon jackasses.

No.

I can't name one.

But only because I have no idea what Rosie thinks or how she votes.

Like I said, only you and other neocon dipsh!ts care what Rosie does/says/votes.

<b>What are you...a homophobe? :p

"Liberals don't need to be told what to think like conservatives do... that's why Air America radio isn't as commercially successful as conservative hate radio or FOX News."

Liberals are much better informed than conservatives.
They watch Katie Couric on TV and read the NY Times.

Not fast big guy! Advertizers will purchase advertizing time slots on any programing that will provide an return on thier investiment. Merchants could careless about politics, ratings are EVERYTHING with them. If AA's ratings are as good as you claim, they should have advertizers standing in line to purchase advertizing slots.

Adios agimos

" If AA's ratings are as good as you claim, they should have advertizers standing in line to purchase advertizing slots."

Maybe a certain "evil genius", who has also been referred to as a "magnificent ba$tard", has figured out a way to manipulate the ratings.
Or perhaps the folks in AA's natural audience spend their time listening to the BBC.

Kanektok Kid,

When did Fox ever have to file for Bankruptcy protection? Oh that's right, unlike Error America...I mean Air America they never did.

The reason advertisers beg to be associated with Rush Limbaugh is because he has the ALL TIME highest rated show of it's type and his positive message and belief in the greatness of America, it's people and it's spirit is listened to regularly by close to 25 MILLION PEOPLE with relatively high levels of disposable income who also love their country and actively root for it to win.

The 'Blame America First' message and liberal queefing of Error/Air America that purports that America and capiltalism is the cause of most problems in the world rather than a force for good is only marketable to small handfull of socialist malcontents.

Simply put, in the arena of ideas the positive Pro-America message of conservatism far out sells the negative 'America Is Bad' message of the far left.

Air America did not file bankruptcy (like so many on the left are trying to allege) because they made poor business decission or had bad management--They went bankrupt because outside the 'enlightened' areas of The Peoples Republic of Seattle, Manhatton, San Francisco and a few others the message that America was a force for bad in the world rather than a force for good fell on deaf ears.

BTW--What's all this talk about the socialist idea of re-distributing wealth~IE the 'Death Tax'?

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs".--Karl Marx

I suppose you're in favor of it?

Actually I hope that these left leaning talk shows do enjoy some success. Maybe that is because righties are not as narrow minded as others within this debate.

Adios Amigos

You're such a tool Rory.

You don't love America. You hate the Constitution, and therefore, America itself.

Advertisers love Rush because numbskulls like you have more disposable income than brains, so you listen and buy.

Lordy it's nice to see the juice of nastiness flowing again. I thought this particular forum was deader than a fly blown horse carcass. And yet the miasma of insult has revived it. The comradery of like, I'll be generous, minded individuals is a powerful force. No matter how bad it reeks. I wonder why AA could not find a modus vivendi. There are obviously many muddle headed libs out there.

If you want to know what makes Stam thinklike he does just tuck your dong between your legs and put on some lipstick and go fish for a weekend with KK.

If you want to think Like TheKang....get a lobotomy!

Yup, I've seen a few dead horses, steers too. And you're right, they do look alive for a while after the Blue-tailed fly has made a deposit. The whole area seems alive but smells very dead.
Unfortunately the Coyotes and Ravens always leave enough for the flies.
