The purpose of Air America was to get that dingaling elected to the Senate, and it worked. It's usefulness is now over.
I've never listened to Air America. I subscribe to Sirius XM so that I can listen to music without having to hear people talk on my radio. Some anus speed yelling at me to buy a Toyota doesn't fly.For whatever reason, lefties didn't tune it. Approximately half of Americans lean left, so I'm guessing that either the medium or format had little no appeal. I, for one, tuned in for about a week and that was enough for me. The ranting one-sidedness of what I had heard was enough for me to tune out for good.
Most likely it went under because us Liberals do not like listening to propoganda.
Right-wing radio does well because their target market breathes on that type of propoganda.
Talk radio is nothing but propoganda.....I'm actually glad to see less of it on the air, even if it was left-wing propoganda.
Through an emergency bailout plan, a coalition of wealthy liberal political activists are poised to at least temporarily save Air America Radio. On the way: as much as $8 million in sorely-needed cash to fund ongoing operations.

The thread they were hanging from finally snapped.
They're blaming their demise on the decrease in ad revenue that has plagued all of talk radio over the past couple years - but given that Air America didn't have much competition, the real problem was that nobody wanted to listen.

I have to agree with those who say that talk radio is just not a format that most liberals really care about. The demographics are simply not the same as Rush Limbaugh's listeners.
Liberals dominate other formats...Academia, newspapers, blogs, movies, etc. I'd say they also dominate television news, with the exception of outright opinion shows, although I'm less sure about that one.
Most liberals care a lot more about who's winning American Idol and who's hooking up with Jon and Kate than they do a senate seat in Wisconsin. Democrats, by the way, WANT it that way..
Guess that's why Obama got elected and now breaks promises on a daily basis. Disney, Liberals are the posterchild for believing propaganda, your candidates count on it, Obama's hope and change rhetoric proven to be just that..rhetoric...and you ALL swallowed it hook line and sinker.:roll:
And yet couldn't get McCain nor hardly any Republican elected in 2006 or 2008.....while the Senate and House moved Left...and Obama was elected...entirely on propaganda.
Air America off the air is no surprise, Soros and the Left facilitating it and keeping it afloat for years now, this link from 2006.

Disney, next time you've got a post that absolutely flies in the face of reality...like this last jewel of yours...throw it right out here. Spin it a lil as well, don't make it so easy for me to flame it right offhand. Your posts amusing and interesting just....well....canon fodder for those of us who know what's going on.

Is everybody ok? Anybody going through Air America withdrawals?
We're all with you. Hang in there.

Air America would have probably done well if launched pre-2000. Radio was just a bad medium for these people to use. Sure it was great 20+ years ago but now it's becoming overly obsolete. The exceptions are those stations that broadcast online and are in major metropolitan areas with commuters.
And certainly no implications was meant here, right?:roll:
That's my point, liberals and conservatives have different forms of media that appeal to their fans. Liberals have academia/science/newspapers, and conservatives have radio/TV opinion shows. There's nothing sinister about appealing to your fans by using the media that they prefer.
I don't see how it's any different than conservatives dominating talk radio or TV opinion shows.

Can I have a hug
Your post once again defies logic. Are you seriously trying to argue that Obama got elected because of left-wing talk propoganda? That's a good one.
No. Propoganda is propoganda whether it be from the left or right.
Right-wing radio thrives because right-wings love to listen to propoganda.
Liberals generally have lives and don't sit around listening to the crap.

The HotAir blog summed it up best:

Liberals have lives? That why you have no time to provide for your own health care...rather want the government to provide it for you. And with our 10% unemployment...think it's the "liberals" that have all the jobs? Is it conservatives who are out of work and thus have no life or.....is it Dem constituencies such as the inner cities or American youth who voted for Obama....who lead the unemployment numbers?
