Seriously I've never heard of it before.

Nor has anyone else.

[Slings and Arrows]

Many thanks!

[Jeff Chandler]

So what happens to the hundreds of thousands of dollars they scammed from a so called children's services charity?

Laws don't apply to liberals.

[Buffettfan]

Evidence refutes liberalism. It would be long now before rick leftist fatcats quit dumping money into to 'Error America". They now realize that it was a mistake and they will all cut their losses and move on.

[Recovering Hermit]

Excuse me while I chortle in delight.

""""""You're not alone. Neal Boortz predicts that reinstatement of the so called fairness doctrine will be an early priority of the next rat controlled Congress. That would kill conservative talk radio""""""

So, if this happens, what do you think we will do?

Whine, Moan, Carp and Complain?

Ponderously pontificate at length about how unfair it all is?

Tempestuously type scads of scathing verbiage about how "they can't do this"?

Run screaming to your representative so he/she can hold your hand, tell you how bad he/she feels about it. (Take your campaign contribution, and then ignore you)

Or shall we get up off our gloriously fat fundaments, and fix it!

I'm open to ideas.

[polymuser]

Air America has a fagship?

[freekitty]

They have to find another charity to scam from.

[OPS4]

So long you sad excuse for journalism. AA was a waist of air time.

It was called the fairness doctrine, a plan only given cursory lip service to by the major media. When abandoned in the mid-80s, it allowed talk-radio pundits such as rush limbaugh and others to rise to prominence (no more needing to give both sides of the story, which nobody really did anyway-bias was happening all the way back to the 1960s). Media outlets and major networks actually sued to be given permission to abandon it.

Why do I have to pay taxes and NPR doesn't?

Because you produce something of value, and NPR doesn't?

“To be clear, Air America will not go silent on the New York City airwaves. We do not, however, comment on hypothetical speculation,” said an AAR spokesperson.

Well, I guess they can stand on a corner with a bullhorn.

[hummingbird]

Should have read whole thread before posting!

[dr_who_2]

See ya!

[redstate38]

they were never really there...I used to try to call in, just to give them a fight, but even that stopped, as the call-screener had to go back to his day-laborer job of doing the jobs Americans won't do...

See ya, Franken, you angry little gremlin...

[dr_who_2]

as the call-screener had to go back to his day-laborer job of doing the jobs Americans won't do...

Ha! That probably included being a call screener for Air America. But at least he had a job. I guess he'll go back to telemarketing now. Hope he doesn't take your job away.

[ritewingwarrior]

Im still crying since I heard the news!Anyone got a tissue?

[Atchafalaya]

LOL!!!

[cricket]

Bahwah! Where is George Soros when you need him. . .

[cricket]

You'll just have to be standing within a few feet of Mr. Franken while he's talking.

LOL! . . .and for sure. . .
