In yet another sign of trouble for Air America Radio, the liberal talk network entering its fifth chaotic week on the air, co-founder and chairman Evan Cohen resigned Thursday, as did vice-chairman and investor Rex Sorensen.
The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is planning to report in fresh editions: The company also failed to make its scheduled payroll, leaving its staff roughly 100 radio personalities, writers, and producers unpaid until Thursday.
The departures of Cohen, a former political operative from Guam who was among the network's initial investors, and Sorenson, an investor who owns radio stations in Guam, mark the second executive shake-up at the fledgling network in as many weeks.
Let me guess: This is all the Republicans fault, too.

C'mon Steve, everyone knows:
1) Gore invented it.
2) Clinton claimed he tuned into the station but then claimed he didn't listen to it.
3) Kerry claimed the radio that Clinton "wasn't" listening to blew up on him, was caused by enemy action, and he should get another Purple Heart.
4) The "REAL" reason Bush almost choked on that pretzel was he got spooked while eating one because of #3 above (You see he was in the same room with them at the time). He questions Kerry's wound though because it resembles a fingernail scratch.
....Or something like that. :D

WHat I wanna know is why does the right hav their panties in a bunch over AAR who has like 15 stations while OxyRush has 600 or so and O'Lielly has 400 affiliates? Maybe to perpetuate the "librul media" myth? (despite the 1000-15 odds?)

Ah, thanks Strk. I had a tough day with 2 finals in a few hours. After listening to 10 minutes of that the stupidity has lightened up my day.
-
Actually I prefer to listen to both right and left sides of the issues on the radio (although Rush is not one of them, he's too far to the right for my tastes) A good example is 570 KVI in Seattle, and then I switch to 710 KIRO with Dave Ross who has talk show that is left of center. It helps me understand the issues from both sides and in some cases reinforces my beliefs in said issues.

It's the liberal media's fault. You would figure the station would be available in every market since the liberals and jews(real jews mr black not you) control said media. Or wait, they don't, and most liberals do not listen to the radio talk shows.
-
the reason they failed is because nobody cares what libral isssues are. They have no message for the people. You can only say we hate bush in so many ways.
Strk. FYI O'reily is not a conservative. He may lean to the right on the occasion but he calls it like he sees it. If the president does something he doesnt like he calls him on it.

I listen to a far left station in grass valley when driving my work truck... They really crack me up. They are beyond bizzare. Had a guy on yeasterday that claimed that pot seed oil was the best fuel for vehicles... even tho pot requires lots of nitrogen which is hard on the environment... still... it would be worth it if there were fields of pot everywhere right?

The left has virtually every newspaper in the nation, all the traditional televised media and npr. only a pinhead would fail to see that. Here come the biggest jokes from way out in left field to try and wade into the talk radio business.
they were doomed to fail from the outset because.
1. talk radio is listenend to primarily in people's cars
2. the audience for the whiner liberal left is usually not up until noon.
3. they spend the better part of their "morning" scouring the "hood" for cans to turn in and buy more beer.
4. hang out on the porch or under a shade tree yakkin.
5. or working on beater cars that probably don't have radios.
The rest of us are cruising the interstates listening to classic rock on the way to our next assignments or sales calls.
Who cares about talk radio?
Please give us a break already.

Funny, Rush and a few other AM talk radio hosts are considered to dominate the media, while ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NYT are treated like underdogs. The fact is people choose to tune in to Rush and a few others to listen to them express conservative opinioins. Liberals prefer the good old days when there was no alternative but to listen to Peter Jennings talk down his nose at you while pretending to be impartial. At least Rush et al make it clear that they are not impartial.

hehe well I don't have my panties in a bunch, I just like watching liberals fail at talk radio :) I didn't realize that liberals put so much stock in AM radio as to consider it the whole of the media. How about your 1000 to 1 odds on the tv and cable arwaves? ;)

liberals have control over education and most media.. it really irks them when they can't compete. They like to pretend that they are being open minded. I believe that they think of people listening to conservative radio and news as a personal betrayal of all the hard work they have put into educating us poor dumb sheep.

Liberal control of the media is a myth.
Newspapers are split about 50-50, lib-con. Here is my local paper... you decide.
http://www.pe.com/
The Press Enterprise is considered a Repulican stronghold in California.
-
Ah, the Press Enterprise, that great, widely read bastion of conservative journalism. :rolleyes:
The NYT, LATimes, and Washington Post probably have move circulation than all the 'conservative' newspapers combined.
-
Liberal control of the media is a fact, stories that aren't printed, subtle wording and turning of phrases. Choices in photographs to be aired. words taken out of context.
Media bias is evident to all except the very liberal.
-
You see it daily, body language, and the way major news anchors word things...for instance the last 24 hours went something like this:
"President Bush addressed the Arab world about the prisoner abuse but failed to apologize"...
..then 24 hours later...
"President Bush *finally* apologized to the Arab community.."
"Finally"?
heh.

Knight-Ridder The Miami based publisher of extreme left rags.
The Miami Herald is amazing. a leftist newspaper in an otherwise right leaning community that immediately moves to squash even a hint of competition.

Y'all need to stop getting your "facts" from Rush and O'liely.
http://www.fair.org/reports/journalist-survey.html
You probably won't read it, so here are a few highlights:
The findings include:
On select issues from corporate power and trade to Social Security and Medicare to health care and taxes, journalists are actually more conservative than the general public.
Journalists are mostly centrist in their political orientation.
The minority of journalists who do not identify with the "center" are more likely to identify with the "right" when it comes to economic issues and to identify with the "left" when it comes to social issues.
Journalists report that "business-oriented news outlets" and "major daily newspapers" provide the highest quality coverage of economic policy issues, while "broadcast network TV news" and "cable news services" provide the worst.
The larger "liberal media" myth has been maintained, in part, by the well-funded flow of conservative rhetoric that selectively highlights journalists' personal views while downplaying news content.

Journalists are centrists, yet they vote 3:1 for Democrat presidential candidates while the rest of the country has been voting Democrat less than 1:1 for the past 30 years. FAIR is trying to torture the numbers to proove there's no left wing bias, that's all. How journalists reply to a poll is meaningless. What matters is how leftist views are being promoted by the country's largest newspapers. If the NYT reporters polled as 100% conservative, what would that proove?
-
look at any movie and any sit com on TV. republicans are always played as evil or dumb and misguided.
-
"a 24-question self-administered survey was sent by mail to Washington-based journalists"
That was FAIR's methodolgy. I would say they pretty much wasted time and money with that methodology. They should have reviewed boradcast news and op-ed for the last 5 years and analysed for certain keywords.

Rush made his fame by hateing the clintons for 8 years. The liberals have plenty of issues. You just choose to not listen to them. O'reily is a registered republican.

cut and paste from http://www.poynter.org/content/content_view.asp?id=28808
Compared with 1992, the percentage of full-time journalists who claim to be Democrats has dropped 7 percentage points in 2002 to slightly above 37 percent, moving this figure closer to the overall population percentage of 32 percent, according to a July 29-31, 2002, Gallup national telephone poll of 1,003 adults. This is the lowest percentage of journalists saying they are Democrats since 1971.
Slightly more journalists said they were Republicans in 2002 (18.6 percent) than in 1992 (16.3 percent), but the 2002 figure is still notably lower than the percentage of U.S. adults who identified with the Republican Party (31 percent according to the Gallup poll mentioned above). About one-third of all journalists (33.5 percent) said they were Independents, which is very close to the figure for all U.S. adults (32 percent). Journalists in 2002 were much more likely than the general public to say that they were something other than Democrat, Republican, or Independent, however (10.5 percent versus 1 percent).
(http://www.poynter.org/resource/public/20030407_112818_31333.jpg)
So according to this recent Gallup poll, journalists tend to be more Democratic and less Republican in party affiliation than the general population. Hence one can infer a more liberal than conservative political lean to the media.
This tends to make some sence as with a median salary in the 40K, Republicans tend to shy away from these jobs, as the money is elsewhere,

well by your theory about rush than Air American should be flourishing right? Yes I choose not to listen to them and so does the majority of the rest of America OBVIOUSLY
O'reily:
Just because he's a "registered" republican doesnt mean he wouldnt vote for a democrat if he liked them. If you've ever listened to his show he calls to the carpet the dems as much as the repubs. He's more of an independent thinker than most. He sticks by his convictions and has changed his mind on many things over the years.

Most journalists are Librals because they went to libral indoctination school IE college. Most colleges especially the journalism department's professers preach nothing but libral garbage and how to properly hate America.

Only the weak minded that attend will be indoctrinated; for the rest, it allows us to expand our horizons and develop a healthy scepticism towards bias.

so,...
The weak minded become liberal?
Is that what you are trying to say?
