Liberal talk-radio network Air America to cease operations

There is a big difference between disagreeing with political views, which applies in your case, and suckage, which applies to Air America's programming.

I lean left. I thought Air American sucked big donkey balls. I also think Beck and Hannity suck big donkey balls, too. And it should be obvious to you and everyone else it's not because of their leaning.

No, no, no!

It's more because... hmmmmm, how shall I put it?... oh yeah!... their shows suck major donkey balls.

I believe that 20 million listeners per week would disagree with you... and that's only Hannity and Becks audience. Now if you want to include Rush Limbaugh in the mix... Oh my....

.
 
Conservatives tend to listen to Rush at work. Liberals tend to listen to whatever is passing for "music" these days on the radio.

Are you trying to argue that every or most every conservatives listen to that crap? Sorry....there are a lot more conservatives out there than you are giving credit to.

No, I'm arguing your statement about liberals not liking to listen to propaganda is an absolute joke and the fact that Obama was elected spewing rhetoric propaganda you libs ate up like candy is my proof.

:cool:

Like I said, it's beyond me. I guess I'm one of those few who hate train wrecks.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you would have thought that train wreck would have taken place sometime during the last 22 years on the air. Instead, Rush and all of conservative talk radio is only getting stronger.

Air America was totally effective, it got that idiot elected to the Senate.

Yeah, but that's Minnesota. Actually, I would argue that Coleman won the election and Franken won the recount. ACORN and the SEIU have learned from their mistakes in Florida in 2000, and this time they didn't get caught.

Possibly because they have something interesting to say?
 
Re: Breaking: Air America Ceases Live Programming, Will File for Bankruptcy

The reason it was called "Air America" is because "air" is the only substance it had. Limbaugh, America?

Are you saying that libs regularly tune into Beck, Hannity, and Rush?
 
Re: Breaking: Air America Ceases Live Programming, Will File for Bankruptcy

'Tupid me. :doh

I thought they were done for a long time ago. They were still on the air? :confused: Where?

(I guess in Al Franken's case, Washington.)
 
Re: Breaking: Air America Ceases Live Programming, Will File for Bankruptcy

Diogenes said:
George Soros finally decided there was no way to make them effective? Or maybe now that he has his folks in office there is no need for this particular propaganda arm?

What's Ed Schultz gonna do now? Or does he walk away with a pot full of money like Franken did?

So many questions, so little time ... :roll:

Ed is on 1090 am here in the Sound area. Its not Air America so he should be alright.

Perhaps but Rush's Show was created by the GOP. They charged the large stations to air his program just as any show would. However they donated his show free of charge or at greatly reduced rates to the smaller stations. They wanted to blanket the Nation with his show. Thus certain areas might only have a handfull of radio stations and they wanted to insure Rush was on them. The station got the show free and could pocket all the advertising money they received. In no time his show was National and they could spread the GOP agenda. Most Talkshow hosts get big by hard work and spread once their name is know. Not Rush, the GOP made him a mouth piece and built his show for him..

I did too, although I no longer drive for a living and rarely listen to talk radio anymore.

And that just means that there are a lot of fools in this country.

What did PT Barnum say? Something about "a sucker is born every minute".

I bet Canadian talking head shows suck donkey balls on an equal scale, regardless of their politics.

Your hatred for Rush is a result of him continually winning every argument against liberals for two decades. He's so far ahead of their every move, it's like he's got their playbook in his hand.

You know what? I can't even think of one. We don't seem to have any opinion shows in our network news, as far as I know. To me, that is a very good thing.
 
Gibberish said:
It's a completely different demographic. Rush and more conservative commentators have a much older demographic, who still listen to the radio, read the newspaper, and leave their TV on news all day long. More liberal commentators have to focus on connecting to younger demographics through websites, podcasts, online streaming, and RSS feeds.

That's not to say substance is a requirement as well. I tried listening to Air America twice and couldn't last 30 minutes.

The problem the left is having is that even young people can see the bamboozle and lack of substance. If there was substance behind the Left's arguments, they'd be able to hold people's attention. As it is, people have the bad habit of growing up, and then the left loses them forever.
