Now, I have no problem with Chapter 11 in principal, but I think a MINIMAL restriction on it--that the company seeking its protection rather than outright dissolution actually have proven a working business model at some point in its past. Why should creditors be screwed and the books wiped clean for a high-risk venture for which there is absolutely NO historical basis upon which to assume it will EVER be able to turn a profit.

Re: Air America files chapter 11
Well, not yet. I like to think of the pending demise of Air America as trying to knock over a coke machine. You're not gonna get it to fall over the first time, you need a few pushes, ya know, to get some momentum. This is push number 2 or 3 for Air America, so it won't be long before they are off the air permanently .

Re: Air America files chapter 11
Consevatives have talk radio. Talking heads that form opinions for their listeners.
Liberals got the internet. Free information on the internet that leads them to informed individual opinions. I prefer the latter. |

Re: Air America files chapter 11
Neocon talk radio is supported by the 7 multi-billionaires that own all of the US media. Air America is a small company and as with most small companies they are barely afloat in this Republican billionaire economy country. They have some really crappy hosts like Stephanie Miller who just took over for Will Durst and Willie Brown here in SF. I like them, I can't stand her. She sounds just like Ann Coulter but on the left, very annoying. They have Al Franken and Ed Schultz who rock. The rest kinda suck. It's too bad.

Re: Air America files chapter 11
As much as you want this to prove that liberal media is suffering, it's much more likely to be caused by internet. It is killing every type of old media these days (as you know).

It's true. We're not cut for radio. We don't hate that many people to keep the conversation interesting. Conservatives have so much topics to cover: Hate speech on Iraq Hate speech on Saddam Hate speech on feminists Hate speech on liberals Hate speech on anti-war protesters Hate speech on communists Hate speech on gays Hate speech on atheists Hate speech on democrats Hate speech on unions Hate speech on sex offenders (as if you would find opposers to such silliness) Hate speech on enviormentalists Hate speech on 'activist' judges Hate speech on Muslims Hate speech on Teletubbies Hate speech on music videos Hate speech on pornography Hate speech on public education Hate speech on the lazy middle class Hate speech on Katrina victims Hate speech on socialists Hate speech on Hugo Chavez Hate speech on Bill Clinton Hate speech on Hamas Hate speech on Lebanon Hate speech on Palestine Hate speech on alternate 9/11 theories Hate speech on independent investigations Hate speech on those "little beasts" that seduce Republican congressmen. You're right! We can't compete. When you look at conservative websites - they flat out ban anyone that sounds slighty liberal. I know this because I have a sign-in on Red State, LFG, and Freeperville. They ban and keep the topic exclusive to hate propaganda. Even you know that you can't find the facts at conservative websites. When it comes to getting news and facts, you can find those on progressive websites. When you want outright propaganda, you go to conservative websites and hope whatever dirt they can dig up, or invent, on Harry Reid can stick. You know that just as well as I do. That's why conservative sites are not successful on the web. That's why it's so successful on talk radio because they monopolize their hate speech on the airwaves and don't allow facts to come into play. You want to be a liberal calling in on the Limbaugh show? Prepare to get hung up on. |

And coming from the party whose only platform for 8 years has been "We hate Bush" it doesn't mean very much.
