Something fishy is going on. I searched google for "Air America" to check out how many stations are dumb enough to air their trash and found something interesting. Google seems to have given AA a very special privilage. Under their normal heading and description are the following additional links: Logo | Find a Station | The Al Franken Show | Morning Sedition
I suppose this kind of, to my knowledge, unique treatment is Google's prerogative but shows you who is sucking who's toes.
Air America Radio
Progressive talk radio network with streaming audio features provocative
conversation, interviews and political satire. Hosts include Al Franken and Lizz ...

I noticed over the weekend that Google, as the provider for advertising for Ann Coulter's web site, was pushing left wing links.
If someone could find out that is true, then google would go bye bye on my puter.
Who cares? One less station (Charleston, SC) tonite. =)
If it is left wing, Google is in bed with it.
Enter Clear Channel into Google and you'll get the same thing.
Could it be purchased advertising?

Google's givers go Democratic
By Jim Hopkins, USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO — As it claws for greater power, the Democratic Party has found a newly rich ally in one of the fastest-growing U.S. companies: Google.
Google employees gave $207,650 to federal candidates for last year's elections, up from just $250 in 2000 when it was still a start-up. And 98% went to Democrats, the biggest share among top tech donors, a new USA TODAY campaign finance analysis shows.
...
Top Google givers last year included CEO Eric Schmidt, whose company stock is worth about $2.8 billion. His biggest donation: $25,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Thise may be paid for links..

Google has long been leaning left, IMO. There were several threads on this during the election and before. You might want to try dogpile.com or icerocket.com.
They also advertise heavily on Al Gore's Goofy TV channel.
That appears to be a paid Google Ad. It's uncanny where Boys and Girls Club money turns up!
I don't think that this is necessarily evidence that Google is biased. (There are other things that are more credible in that role).

Google is in bed with the liberals, no doubt about it. I've done searches in 'images' for political parody before and all I saw were PhotoShopped pictures of Bush.
Couldn't find any BAD ones of the big Democrats, or else they moved them so far back that it would be a long search.
Google "CBS news"
"Fox news"
"New York Times"
or any of a bunch of other media outlets.
This is part of their google news scan. Anything that
looks like news gets that treatment.
Welcome to FR.
We do know of Google's love affair with the left, they aren't very subtle about it, but the pimo links they provuce are rather... interesting.
Thanks.
I just searched "radio station" and Air America appeared at top. It is a paid for ad
