We're continuing to press the matter of Air America's $480,000 in (possibly unreturned) taxpayer funds obtained in a highly questionable manner.

Meanwhile, more ratings releases today shed a great deal of light on the network's future.

Unlike its conservative counterpart, liberal talk is destined to be simply a regional, niche format that works in a few cities and fails elsewhere. That's become clear.

They didn't repay the loan and this story has now been talked about of FNC, written about in quite a few papers ( beyond THE BRONX NEWS; which broke it ) and why are you on the side of the lefties?

This isn't a place for anyone but Conservatives. Read away and become enlightened, or post garbage and you'll get *ZOTTED.
