Left wing talk radio poster child, Air America, announced a ,hum... financial restructuring. For you Aggies out there it means Air America has gone bankrupt; bit the dust; faded into radio land sunset. Here's what a liberal left wing web site said about the issue:
The right wing is sure to seize on Air America’s financial woes as a sign that progressive talk radio is unpopular. In fact, Air America succeeded at creating something that didn’t exist: the progressive talk radio format. That format is now established and strong and will continue with or without Air America. Indeed, many of the country’s most successful and widely-syndicated progressive talk hosts — Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller, for instance — aren’t even associated with Air America.
O.K. I'm seizing on it. The defunct Air America points to a larger problem -no new ideas. Same old song, same old mantra. Furthermore, few have heard of Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.
Again this from the article:
Radio giant Clear Channel is so committed to progressive talk radio that, this week, it will announce a partnership with the Center for American Progress and MSS Inc. to conduct a nationwide search for the next Progressive Talk Radio Star.
You guys know a good business deal when you see one- continually pump money into failed programs. I'm glad you're not my kid's economics teacher.
