NEW YORK -- Danny Goldberg, a longtime music industry executive, took over as chief executive of Air America Radio on Thursday in the latest sign that the liberal talk radio network is gaining its footing after a rocky start.

Goldberg, whose New York-based record label Artemis represents artists including Steve Earle and the late Warren Zevon, took over from acting CEO Doug Kreeger, who stepped aside in December but remains an advisor and board member for the company.

Goldberg is on the board of the ACLU..... big surprise

[GeronL]

must be a part-time thing

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Most likely.

Goldberg doesn't strike me as someone who would consciously enter into such a foolhardy venture.

Dead Air is more entertaining than Air America.

What's really hilarious though, is this newly published book by Sheldon Drobney, explaining how he overcame all of the inherent obstacles to the formation of a liberal talk radio network.

Give me a break!

They're able to sustain this turkey for a few months after the presidential election, and all of a sudden they're a colossus bestriding the world of talk radio?

What a self-serving load of tendentious pap!

[kingattax]

LOL

[GeronL]

how he overcame all of the inherent obstacles to the formation of a liberal talk radio network.

The only obsatcle is getting an audience

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

And a mighty impediment it is.

Just ask Al Franken.

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

They just don't get it . Most of Americans don't want liberalism, and they must be really delusional if they think Americans want a Liberal talk show network ( unless they want a big laugh ).

lol ! The only audience will maybe be in CUBA or Communist CHINA or North Korea.
Oppps, for got, even in Socialist EU and Canada.

[GeronL]

Have you ever googled "Utopia" or "Utopianism"?? The lefty websites are full of explanations on how to make the world into a paradise. You would think they'd hide from it, only in public I guess..

[GeronL]

The Utopians don't live in the real world

[EagleUSA]

and they must be really delusional if they think Americans want a Liberal talk show network.....

I think they are just outright desperate, since they seem to forget their history in this area --- nothing but failures. Yet they keep coming back -- maybe Kerry was another fine example of that...

[KeyWest]

Please explain how a company that has gone through so many CEOs is supposedly doing great. But spin is everything today.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I'm amazed that they didn't fold up shop after Kerry's devastating loss.

I suppose that HRC will be the next Dem. savior who'll they'll propel to victory, hunh?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

yes,, only in La La land, lol.

[EagleUSA]

I suppose that HRC will be the next Dem. savior who'll they'll propel to victory, hunh?

I just cannot fathom it -- the HildaBeast is totally unqualified for the slot, in so many ways -- every service person's worst nightmare as C-in-C. Well for the limp, loser Dems, they will VOTE FOR ANYTHING with the DEM label on it...even if it is Joseph Stalin...

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yes your right, and maybe the Kerry champaign should have gotten a US patent for being a " LOSER " because he sure set the mold and pattern.
And the nomination of Howard Dean as the D.N.C chairman is just going to energize the wackos and liberal leftist even father to the extreme left and alienate the US general public even father and make it set in stone their future demise and losing ways.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Brainwashing is an effective political tool.

Just ask Walter Duranty.

[AZ_Cowboy]

If things are all honky-dorey there at Airhead (not my) America, why do they keep having to shake up the management?

[Balding_Eagle]

If Hillary! runs, and I expect her to, she is going to run as a tax cutting Pro-life anti-gay marrage lets invade Iran GWB didn't make the private accounts big enough becasue I'm a conservative Southern Baptist Christian candidate.

The 62 million who voted for Bush won't believe her, 1/2 of the 59 million who voted for Kerry won't believe her (that's the rabid Bush hating half). That leaves 30million voters who might believe her.

It could be a problem for us.
