"The right wing is sure to seize on Air America’s financial woes as a sign that progressive talk radio is unpopular."

But the left wing won't???

I've never heard that station.  Is it as bad as the right wing radio?

UPDATE: Air America responds

If Air America had filed for bankruptcy every time someone rumored it to be doing so, we would have ceased to exist long ago; it may be frustrating to some that this hasn’t happened. No decision has been taken to make any filing of any kind, we are not sure of the source of these rumors and frankly can not respond to every rumor in the marketplace.

They've been morally bankrupt for quite some time..doesn't suprise me that they'd be financially bankrupt soon after :D

All politics and extremism aside, it was a poor economic decision to start it up.

The stereotypical right winger spends a lot of time in the car driving around the country side.  Perfect subject for talk radio.

The stereotypical left winger takes public transportation on a short route to their job.  The worst subject for talk radio.



While air america was hopeful, they didn't have an audience.  And that's not because they were extremist liberals, but because the general liberal didn't have the time or capacity to listen to any radio.

The left wing Air America kinda mirrors the last left wing presidential candidate, all talk but no substance, or in this case, no capital.

Tell me, do they "have a plan"?   :rofl
