ORIGINAL: domiguy Air America fails because liberals do not need to be constantly reminded of the "correctness" of their opinions and views. Good luck to Franken...He seems to be a fairly honest man. How many times must I cry "bullshit" on this koolaid, DG? Put it down! It's YUCKY! Air America fails because their morning chick was too angry, too much, and never did find the balance of information and humor that gets people to work in the morning in a decent mood. Air America FAILS because Franken has no business in a radio studio. He was awful. A voice made for screenwriting. Did he even get that he was in a different medium? Ed Shulz was fun and funny sometimes, but, but, but, isn't "hate speech" a bad thing? The guy is brutal. It was very crappy radio. If they figure out WHY they failed, instead of just laying blame, it might get better. Define failure.LOL,for that matter,define bull shit. Don`t define kool-aid,that`s above your pay grade. Is it backwards day where you live? I`ll call bull shit on the bullshiter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "AA up 140% in LA." http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/07/27/133238.php "The conservative echo chamber believes Air America Radio is going down like Jeff Gannon on an overnight press-pass to the White House. Left-wing talk radio they said, was over before it began. But like all so-called wisdom coming from the GOP noise machine, you better check the facts before you believe it. It turns out that contrary to conservative spin and wishful thinking, Air America, barely a year old, is building an audience and starting to eat in to the market share of conservative talkers who have been around for decades." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "In his own backyard, how can Limbaugh lose to a liberal talker? What am I doing with a 3.4 and he's sitting with a 3.2?" Schultz asked RAW STORY in a telephone interview this morning. "We've coming a long way from being the poor little guy from North Dakota." Al Franken, whose Air America program runs head-on with Rush in the noon to 3 p.m. slot, also made strides, posting 2.1 ratings among 25-64, up from 1.5 in the winter. The two programs posted gains in every single age category. These trends show what has been obvious to many Americans. Regressives like the GOP and their right-wing allies are becoming personally offensive to many Americans and a relic of the past. Most of these right wing talkers are such hypocrites there is little value in listening to their opinion. People like Rush Limbaugh, who once posited that talented African American NFL player Donovan McNabb was only a starting quarterback because of his color, pretends to reach out to people of color on behalf of the GOP with the likes of radical, anti-civil rights quack Jesse Lee Peterson. Moreover, Rush Limbaugh, who does not believe in a right to privacy, underwent a huge flip-flop suing all the way to the Supreme Court to protect his right to privacy in a costly and failed frivolous litigation to apparently try and conceal evidence of his doctor-shopping from prosecutors." http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/07/11/152204.php ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Randi Rhodes, host of “The Randi Rhodes Show,” beat WABC’s Sean Hannity in New York with a 3.3 share to Hannity’s 3.0 share in the Men 25-54 demographic (3-7 p.m.).
