Airless America's metaphoric views of a Minority Radio Operator

After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, and that really loud woman from Florida, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems.
Stop the presses!!! Theres nothing more exciting than half a story from a third hand source!!!!
Insiders tell SLUDGE, that the reason the network was pulled off the air this morning in Chicago and Los Angeles, the network's second- and third-largest markets, was because, the owner of both stations, Arthur Liu of Multicultural Broadcasting, said, the network bounced a check and owes him more than $1 million! The run-on sentence, tortured grammar and the exclamation point clearly means its true!!
Only it isnt.
Normally wed let this go because habitual liars like Drudge are laughable, and ridicule is our business.
But Arthur Liu --- not funny. He lied to us, he ripped us off and now were chasing him down with a pipe wrench. Its a metaphor.
Heres what really happened:
This Liu-ser was ripping off our boss Evan Cohen big time (he cant do that, thats our job). Evan found out about it and he stopped payment on a check to keep Liu-cifer from ripping him off even more. You can touch Evan for the occasional meal or drinks but a million bucks is crossing the line. And if we ever get low on cash, we can always call Barbra Streisand. Or any of the Baldwins. Except Stephen.
So we got screwed, Liud, and tattooed. How Liu can you get? In Liu of payment. Liud and lascivious behavior. These write themselves. What were getting at is that we hate him.
So now everyones saying were going down the dumper in Chicago and Los Angeles, but what they dont tell you is that were still on in Portland. And we OWN Portland. And lets not forget Riverside and Plattsburgh. And New York. And streaming on the internet. And XM. And Sirius. Actually were fine.
So cool your jets. Air America Radio isnt dead, were in court and were going to slam Lius head in a car door. Another metaphor. We hope to be back on the air tomorrow or the next day in those markets.
In the meantime, why dont you give Arthur a call at (212)966-1059, or check out his website www.mrbi.net
Arthur Liu, I wouldnt show your face around here.
Or Riverside. Or Plattsburgh.

The facade is off. Air America is the radio arm of DU.
To: Griffon76
My high school radio station was more professional than Err Amerika. It also ran a hell of alot smoother. Unbelievable these morons can't pull it together even just a little bit.

You'd think they try to address these allegation in a professional manner. But lo and behold, they resort to childish name calling and sarcasm.

ROFLMAO!!
This is just a brilliant example of the sewer these hypocrites spawn in. Atrocious press release. Sounds like it came from a twelve year-old in a playground pissing match.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
I wonder if their lawyers are familiar with the term "slander"?
I wonder if their lawyers actually get paid in money or salt?
Methinks Al Franken is about to experience some man-love firsthand.

Absolutely Childish and vicious and arrogant and SAD. This is what it has come to.
To: Griffon76
So we got screwed, Liud, and tattooed. How Liu can you get? In Liu of payment. Liud and lascivious behavior. These write themselves. What were getting at is that we hate him.How dare he actually expect us to pay him like we agreed to do!

It is ILLEGAL to stop payment on a check when services have been rendered. If they thought Liu was "ripping them off", they should have went through the proper channels. You dont back out of business deals for personel vandetta.
They have no legal recourse but to pay the million dollars. But they wont, because they need an excuse for their failure other than "liberal radio sucks".

I doubt it. The address of one of their lawyers is 2blocks from me and it is not an office building. It is a dump of apartment buildings that should be torn down. These bozos can't even afford descent lawyers who have regular offices.

Liu is probably Asian, and therefor, not a real minority.
As we know, real minorities cannot make it on their own without the help of the DemocRat party.

Is the "Find a Station" search tool for listeners or employees?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
To: Griffon76
But...don't reputable radio networks ALWAYS put out press releases encouraging their rabble followers to "slam heads in a car door," and give out personal phone numbers?
Is that whole network run by Beavis and Butt-Head?
