Air America was hyped bigtime in the MSM when it launched and yet it still flopped bigtime. Few listeners which generated almost no advertising revenue.

PING!

A socialist enterprise relying on capitalist advertising? There’s your typical socialist business plan; there are no private investment opportunities for socialism. It’s either government subsidies or bust.

Yup, all those mammals with lotsa tails and no cojones have been eliminated.

I eagerly await that fate for our progressives.

I first read AA as Afirmative Action - not that there is any real difference to Air America.

Maybe someone should tell him they just don't like him.

He'll be heartbroken, of course. Libs think the whole world is in love with them, but that's just because of their own narcissism.

most of the monied progressive community

Does that include children's charities whose bank accounts are emptied to support Err Amerika?

We already have one left wing, moocher/looter radio network. We don't need a second at the public teat.

I agree partially with the Air America guy. He did royally bungle his business model. Air America wouldn't let stations pick and choose their shows. They wouldn't let stations put local content on the air. They wouldn't allow Air America content to air on stations which also ran conservative programs.

I partially agree with Andrew Breitbart, too. "It isn't your business model that sucks. It's you that sucks." Maybe Air America would have been a disaster either way, but there was a point in time when the MSM was really hyping it and it could have gotten some legs if they had put their content on stations which were already attracting talk radio listeners.

Goldberg is a typical communist who can’t handle it when the big, bad marketplace kicks his talentless ass.

Characteristically, these elites need the type of criminal, political help that the crooks at Goldman Sachs received, in order to succeed.

Welcome to the Darwinian jungle indeed .....

Conservative talk radio is a successful commercial enterprise. People want to listen and advertisers are anxious to advertise in front of a large audience. In comparison, the socialist/progressive talk radio is nauseating. They can't draw or hold an audience. Advertisers aren't going to throw money at an enterprise that has no audience. The lefties have a grip on TV. That's fine because mine is never turned on. My TV is a display device for BluRay or DVD. I can choose what I want to patronize and when I want to see it. There are plenty of hapless individuals who feed a cable service and keep the lefties funded. I'm not one of them.

Air America failed because of one undeniable truth.

"You can always tell a liberal. You just can't tell them a damn thing."

[N. Theknow]

Air America = MSNBC without the ugly faces.

Content & Content Providers = Air America’s Failure

Comrade Goldberg, real Americans don’t like Communism - therefore you lose.
