Springer Said To Be Sprung In Air America Shuffle: Right Wing Takeover of Liberal Radio??
Radio Ink ^ | 9.13.06 | Radio Ink

Posted on 09/13/2006 9:00:43 AM PDT by rface

John Mainelli reports in the New York Post that Jerry Springer is out at the liberal-leaning Air America radio network and that other Air America hosts will be shuffled. For Springer, it could be just as well since he’s already got a full plate, hosting his TV Talk show and hoofing it on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars.”

Other moves include Air America morning co-host Rachel Maddow moving into Janeane Garofalo’s old night shift. Sam Seder, who used to co-host with Garofalo and currently does nights will take Springer mid-morning shift, while Al Franken and Randi Rhodes stay where they are.

This seems like the exact wrong time to be doing such an over-haul on the Liberal Flagship..... unless, maybe Air-America has been bought by....Karl Rove or Rush Limbaugh.

Don't Laugh.

I have heard through some important and high ranking sources - that LIMBAUGH DID BUY AIR-America, but sent the money through a 3rd person so it would be hard to follow...... more developing

also ..... I did watch Dancing With The Stars last night - and I must say that Springer did a simplistic - but rather charming rendition of the Cha-Cha...

Either that or...Springer was so bad, even Air America didn't want him.

Anyway, I'm gonna laugh, cuz this is funny.

Wasn't he the one that got the most ratings?

LIMBAUGH DID BUY AIR-America

So that he could get twelve more listeners? Sounds improbable.

I had a car-wreck fascination with the Springer show. It was simply the worst -- hours and hours of the 'serious' Jerry, no guests, lame attempts at humor, etc. What an a**hole he is.

Now that they moved from 1050 AM in NY to 1600 AM, the signal is significantly weaker, and I can't even pick it up anymore. And I'm in southern Westchester, only 15 miles from midtown! What utter losers!!!

Pardon my skepticism but if you have info from an important and high ranking source that Rush bought ErrAmerica his using a 3rd party to keep it quiet hardly accomplished his goal.

Limbaugh bought Air America? How much did Air America have to give Rush to take it off their hands?

Well, that's pretty hard to believe. But since you went 18-1 in 1959, I'll believe you.

Not only did he buy it - he is in charge of all this shuffling around......

Just who do you think FIRED MIKE MALLOY!!! IT WAS LIMBAUGH.

Malloy's method and message was too effective and someone had to take him out

I can't imagine that Rush would buy Air America (I mean, what value does it have?), unless he wanted the pleasure of firing Al Franken, and that's unlikely since he would have to pay off Al's contract.

But it would drive the DUmmies and KOmmies berserk, so for laughs let's see if we can plant this on liberal sites as a rumor.

Yes, Rush Limbaugh bought Air America. Right after he burned the plans he gave the Whitehouse for planning 9/11.

Why are you blowing the lid off of this? Next thing you know, the DUmmies will start to question just why their threads are full of wackjobs that make them look more idiotic than they already are.

IF you want to see why we Reagan Democrats vote GOP, your answer is on air america. I have heard Randi Rhodes, Mike malloy, Al franken. My mom doesnt even listen to it anymore
Its not even disagreement with humor. its horribly vile and hateful. I thought the GOP was hard on Clinton in the 90,s, but at least there were ideas they had thrown in on how they wanted to lead.
