"In 5 years we'll be on 600 stations"--Jon Sinton, Air America Radio, 2004
Who?
(I’m series)
Gee... that’s a shame.
/s
Air America went on the air in early 2004, to proivde liberal talk, and to try to defeat Bush in the 2004 election.
Liberal talk radio never took off. I wonder why?
Ha haaaaa!!!
What a coincidence. Nobody wants to hear you do a three-hour talk show anymore.
If they ever did in the first place.
WeGotEd.com.?
If I had it, I sure as hell wouldn’t tell anybody!
They got Viagra and Cialis for that nowadays..................
Yeah...this Schultz loser is going to be in a world of hurt when his TV gig ends involuntarily due to laughably poor ratings. Then he’ll probably wish he had kept his radio show that nobody listened to.
Actually I think he is ‘Leaving to spend more time with his family” since he probably was more radio stations than those radio stations had listeners to his program. And he wasn’t on many to begin with...leaving him an exceedingly source of revenue for all involved.
MSNBC is a different story since they are ultimately liberal, not ad revenue funded.
This is really going to upset like five people.
Some comments from radioinsight.com:
CURT:
>>Over the years, I’ve sampled Lib Talk from Air America and 1520 in Buffalo before they went Sports last year. Angry ranters like Randi Rhodes and Ed Schultz turned me off right away. The only ones I could stomach were Alan Colmes and Harry Shearer. Can anyone recommend someone who intelligently discuss the issues from a liberal perspective?
CRAZY MONKEY:
>>Good, I never liked his show anyways. He was the finest mudslinger and name caller I know of. Most other liberal talkers are similar, but he’s the worst I’ve heard...when I’ve listened to Rush take callers in the past few years, he is actually quite calm and funny. Of course Rush acts like he knows everything, but I’ve never heard him yell, be disrespectful or call names to his callers like Ed. Ed will just yell you off the air if you disagree with him… no logical debate, just yelling. And I’m not just saying that, it seems like every time I turn his show on, this happens. When a liberal caller talks to Rush, he tries to reason with them, and he doesn’t get all bent out of shape like Ed does.
Anyone who has tuned in to “The Ed Show” and not felt that he was watching some kind of sick parody is seriously confused. I saw a few minutes of it once and was flabbergasted. I thought surely this nutcase must be trying to look as absurd as he possibly can on purpose. I watched a couple of minutes once after that to see if it could really be as ridiculous as it seemed and it actually was. It takes a really sick puppy to watch Mr. Ed the talking Jackass and take him seriously. He could actually make Piers Morgan look like a sober minded reporter. In short anyone who is a serious fan of Ed Schultz needs to go to the nearest emergency room and ask to see a psychiatrist immediately.
The answer is clearly for Ed to run even farther to the left.
Another booger eating moron bites the dust.
I think I’ll commemorate this by eating a big fat jelly donut with strawberry frosting.
Good riddance.
As an aside, does anyone listen to talk radio anymore? None of my friends do. I haven’t listened in years as it went the way of “news entertainment”.
So he's abandoning his dozens of listeners to devote more time to his hundreds of viewers.
Bye bye, Special Ed.
Ed Schultz: Isn’t he the incompetent Nazi from Hogan’s Heroes?
