Why do liberals need Air America when they already have the mainstream media in their pocket?
"Why do liberals need Air America when they already have the mainstream media in their pocket?"
That's one of the reasons it failed, I believe. Most Democrats can just watch the news or read the paper and get the liberal slant without having to listen to the talentless loser-moonbats on AA run the country down all day.
Not to mention our tax supported "Public" radio and TV network.
I was having a debate this morning with a coworker who is a rabid lib and she actually thought Air America is an Airline!!! She said "I've heard so much about them but I can't find out how to buy tickets, my friends said it was run by liberal Democrats."
Can you believe that?
They don't.
Idiot liberals think it's 1968 and they're fighting the man - Problem is they are the man and the establishment and they're the biggest control freak bullies the world has ever seen.
Liberals have it all - every newspaper but one, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, and NPR, all the Hollywood directors, singers, etc. Still the greedy little narcissists think they're on the outside trying to get in -- what fools.
Some time back a liberal was lamenting not having more "think tanks" - like every University and College in the country isn't enough? Lame, blind and bullies - a charming combination... So in answer to your question, they're either stupid, blind to reality, or total gluttons. Or a combination...
Libs aren't satisfied unless they're batting 1.000, so they want to compete in conservative-dominated talk radio. In a forum that has actual competition and debate, the libs get their butts handed to them every time.
They think the left-wing media is right-wing, not kidding.
They need it because even on CBS you can't pretend to shoot the president like (IIRC) Rhandi Rhodes did on her show.
According to the libs I know, the MSM is biased in favor of the right and not the left.
thats why it failed...why tune in all day to one news source when you can get the main stream media dog and pony show on all stations? That's why conservative talk radio is so popular...no where else to go.....
