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!!! There’s 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 it’s true!!

Only it isn’t.

Normally we’d 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 we’re chasing him down with a pipe wrench. It’s a metaphor.

Here’s what really happened:

This Liu-ser was ripping off our boss Evan Cohen big time (he can’t do that, that’s 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, Liu’d, and tattooed. How Liu can you get? In Liu of payment. Liu’d and lascivious behavior. These write themselves. What we’re getting at is that we hate him.

So now everyone’s saying we’re going down the dumper in Chicago and Los Angeles, but what they don’t tell you is that we’re still on in Portland. And we OWN Portland. And let’s not forget Riverside and Plattsburgh. And New York. And streaming on the internet. And XM. And Sirius. Actually we’re fine.

So cool your jets. Air America Radio isn’t dead, we’re in court and we’re going to slam Liu’s 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 don’t you give Arthur a call at (212)966-1059, or check out his website www.mrbi.net

Arthur Liu, I wouldn’t show your face around here.

Or Riverside. Or Plattsburgh.

DEVELOPING……

Check out what a pathetic operation... What kind of people issue press releases like this... What love the Liberal Radio operators have for their Minority (Arthur Liu) Operator.

Please Read and laugh away.

Huh? I thought this was from Drudge Retort or some other poor imitator website... this is supposed to be a press release??? No doubt they went to the Acme Skool of Press Release Writing.

[kahoutek]

Talk about putting lipstick on a corpse.........

[Semper Paratus]

The facade is off. Air America is the radio arm of DU.

[mlbford2]

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.

[Griffon76]

Plattsburg is such a mighty market. Someone tell me again, Why these guys were on the Today show?

[CFC__VRWC]

No doubt they went to the Acme Skool of Press Release Writing.

It reads more like they trolled the DUmpster to pick up their writing tips.

[ruiner]

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.

[Iron Matron]

This is real? No funny "Onion" stuff?

These liberals are morons, and slimey to boot!

It is totally LEGIT, visit the URL

Their disclaimers aside, they are mean, vindictive people.

[Rutles4Ever]

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.

[Griffon76]

Absolutely Childish and vicious and arrogant and SAD. This is what it has come to.

[CFC__VRWC]

So we got screwed, Liu’d, and tattooed. How Liu can you get? In Liu of payment. Liu’d and lascivious behavior. These write themselves. What we’re getting at is that we hate him.

How dare he actually expect us to pay him like we agreed to do!

[Iron Matron]

This Liu-ser was ripping off our boss Evan Cohen big time (he can’t do that, that’s our job). Evan found out about it and he stopped payment on a check to keep Liu-cifer from ripping him off even more.

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".

[mlbford2]

~~ wonder if their lawyers are familiar with the term "slander"? ~~

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.

[MrB]

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.

[Rutles4Ever]

Is the "Find a Station" search tool for listeners or employees?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Moose4]

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?
