Air America files chapter 11

Turns out the working americans who comprise the main demographic who listen to talk radio have spoken loud and clear.

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.

Probably rely on the same liberal media that carried the Foley non-story the last week.

What we will see is democrats attempt to enact legislation limiting what talk radio hosts can talk about in regards to govn; especially around election time; Remember mccain-feingold?

Re: Air America files chapter 11

I've always known that in the marketplace of ideas, 'Air America' was bankrupt. Now it's true in the financial world as well. (BTW, I don't like right wing radio either)

Maybe if Air America had some personalities that weren't so full of hatred and intolerance they would be more succesful? Have you ever listened to them? Michael Savage sounds almost sane after listening to Air America for 1/2 an hour.

You listened to them for half an hour without having to be commited?

I listened to them once for about 10 minutes, I'm still in therapy. My doctor though said that I may, in time, be able to again develope a rationale thought, so I'm hopeful.

Two points, I only care to the extent that:

1. As a free market capitalist, I am delighted whenever there is indisputable proof of markets working!

2. I expect that the utter failure of liberal talk radio will not be trumpted by the MLM nearly as much as its creation was.

Liberals enjoy posting commentary on obviously biased polls. I enjoy discussing why a bankrupt ideology can't garner any support to convey their message to the masses. Of course I'm a capitalist so I pay attention to the market.

Re: Air America files chapter 11

I find it to be interesting that conservatives seem to be more concerned with Air America than liberals since it is supposed to be for liberals.

Re: Air America files chapter 11

I'll be suprise it the usual nut cases don't come up with some bizarre conspiracy theory accusing Bush of undermining Air America.

So amusing that we have had a dozen threads on it in the past?
