I hope they leave it on the air in key markets across the Country.

It's like a "Wake-Up Call" for the rest of us. 24/7

Hate Radio eats it's own.

But its overall failure to mount a challenge to conservative talk radio raises an obvious question: Why?
 
1.  They don't take calls because they'd have their lies exposed and stupid theories destroyed.
2.  The hatred they spew puts people off.
3.  They have a very unpopular message.
4.  They already have NPR, Pacifica, and endless MSM radio stations to compete with all pouring out the same liberal dribble.
5.  Bennett/Ingraham/Beck/Rush/Prager/Hannity/Medved/Hewett/Savage are all just more talented, brighter, and more interesting to listen to no matter what your political stripe is.

I'm with you. As long as they're operating in the free market, and not using strongarmed government communications (like NPR) it's all good. If the ratings suck and the shows are awful, well that's just icing on the cake.

There's a thing in the industry called a 'radio voice.' It's realy hard to have a successful radio program without one.

Al Franken doesn't have one. He should be publishing books on tape for insomniacs.

"And maybe some day they'll figure it out."

Yes, of course. The same day in which man discovers that pigs can fly, and that Maureen Dowd is actually quite gorgeous-in her own,unique way, and that Al Franken is a quick witted comedian, and finally: Ted Nugent is a spokesman for PETA.

Woooo hoooo! Of ALL! the states, citizens, we're raking it in! We ROCK!......in Portland. Take that!, America!

Al Franken may not have a 'radio voice' but he sure has a 'radio face'.

Average liberals don't pay attention to politics or news. Just listen to Hannity's man-on-the-street interviews. Most of them voted for Kerry (or Kearney) and they don't know who the V.P. is.

Air America ... will soldier on.

Not for much longer. It's a black hole and showing no hope of a return. The money won't hold out forever, and there is virtually no chance of anyone actually paying for advertising on a forum so repulsive to the mainstream.

Bitter doesn't sell. Rush made his audience with humor and the fact he was the only game in town. He was the onlt conservative voice. Err America has tons of competition in their market, from NPR to Howard Stern.

I love how the champions of "diversity" and "multiculturalism" kicked the Carribean music off the air that a lot of people probably enjoyed, to get even lower ratings than the old format by spweing propaganda.

I wish Kearney would have beaten Bush. Stu Ped would likely have been our greatest VP ever.
