I attempted to listen to Garafalos "majority report" just to see what this station was up to.

It was truly painful to listen to an hour of no talent libs with no ideas pretend that they are political and broadcast experts.

And the commercials for vegetable oil diesel and such were soooooo ridiculous

I expected Err America to implode; I just didn't think it would implode so quickly.

American media is primarily liberal. American universities are primarily leftist. American entertainment is primarily leftist.

Conservative talk radio rose in popularity because it is a beacon of free thought in the middle of this broad sea of liberalism. There was a need for independent voices in a society in which all information is channelled through liberal/leftist outlets.

Where is the need for a liberal radio station? Why did the leftists even think of it? Not because there is a need. Obviously there is no true need. They thought of it because they are losing the arguments on the issues. They blame conservative talk radio for "hijacking the issues".

What the liberals and left refuse to understand is that conservative talk radio hosts are popular because they are winning the arguments.

Liberal radio as a whole is unlistenable. Even Ed Schultz, although not part of the roster of Err America, is unlistenable. Al Franken is trying to copy O'Reilly, and Ed Schultz is trying to mimic Rush Limbaugh, and both are unlistenable and complete failures.

As an aside, I have since revised my dead pool prediction to May 19th, in hopes that DISH Network will not have to carry Err America on their DISH Network satellite system starting May 20th.

Ten of twelve Air America hosts – or 83 percent - are white.
Contrast that to Rush Limbaugh’s guest hosts, who are 67 percent white and tell me who is racist.

Interesting.

Lizz Winstead and Rachel Maddow speak with the soft-spoken, quasi-intellectual tones that characterize NPR

There's nothing worse. Nothing. I'd rather spend a sunny Saturday afternoon hanging out at the library with a feminist librarian.

Leno's joke is a classic.

[J. L. Chamberlain]

Tremoglie is being stupid, lots of folks are listening. Franken runs a funny show and Randi Rhodes has been trouncing Limbaugh in the ratings for years.

NPR is the Original Error America

[Libloather]

If liberals have a radio network and nobody listens does it still make a sound?

A giant sucking one.

1) How many jobs will be lost because of this huge boondoggle?

2) So-called professional comedians - and they STILL can't compete with Rush? Doncha know that just frosts 'em...

[Monty22]

Anyone seen the Yahoo ad where Ben Stein's saying all the goofy things dems use it for, and then franken goes on about how Reps just look at it to look up yachts.. Oh, and trophy wives.

And this is from the rich, ugly franken. Wow.

[GeronL]

The thing is such a joke

[new cruelty]

Guess they'll soon change the name to Dead Air America.

I'd rather be tied to a chair, have my eyelids taped open and forced to watch re-runs of "Gilligan's Island". B-o-r-i-n-g crappola.

[jonno]

Ba-dump BUMP!

[BlessedBeGod]

Oh, come on. It MUST be a VRWC. Really.

Chris Matthews has become truly obnoxious. He was on one of the late nite talk shows last week (the one that comes on after Leno) extolling the virtues of Teresa Heinz Kerry. He slobbers all over the Democrats, it's sickening.

I watch Scarborough at 10 on MSNBC, but immediately switch back to Fox when Chris Matthews comes on.

Being a talk radio host(ess) is really not that easy. I think it's much more difficult than being a TV news anchor. TV news anchors essentially read from a telepromter. Have a nice voice and good intonation and delivery, and it doesn't matter what the hell you know.

The talking heads on Sunday have to know a little more, as they're interacting, and commenting on the news.

But a talk radio host has to fill in usually several hours of talk. No ability to go to video, and you've got to keep people's attention. You have to read up on a lot of different subjects, be up with the news, etc. Even sports radio guys have to know all about what's going on that day.

Franken and Garafolo haven't been talk radio people very long yet. Another problem that the leftists have is the fear of offending anyone. Once I read that some leftist radio station was having a bunch of gay cowboys on. They talked about how gays were becoming cowboys, and that they had made it in tht macho culture. The radio station was then besieged with calls from angry vegeterians saying cowboys were cruel to animals. When they finally get gays in the military, they'll lambast gays who join because tehy're fighting an illegal war or some damned thing.

I'd hate to give any liberal credit...but Jim Hightower has a credible media presence about him.

You may not agree with him on...oh, about 99% of what he says but he's capable of handling on a position on Err America.
