It’s not like they’re just running a boring radio show, although they are doing that.
So at 6 a.m. on Good Friday the first anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, the day after Condoleezza Rice testified before the commission investigating the 9/11 attacks I tuned in to 1580, turned on my computer to take notes and sat with both until 11 p.m.It may have been the most boring day of my life.
My fellow liberals have long argued that they haven’t been able to match the conservative success on talk radio because the medium is ideally suited to conservatives. According to this self-serving argument, conservatives are more willing than liberals to engage in nasty name-calling and to see everything in black and white, while liberals concerned with nuance and complexity are inevitably reasonable, willing to consider both sides of an issue. But President W’s policies especially in Iraq have now so enraged liberals that they are willing to play dirty too. Hence, Air America.
Not.
It’s that they can’t even manage the bare minimum business relationships necessary to keep it on the air.
The Liberals cannot stop telling us how smart they are, and how much better they know how to do everything than Bush does. They’re full of clever quips and satirical insults for those who disagree with them.
But when it comes to actually accomplishing something in the real world, they come up short. The real world is so different from their ivory-tower notions of it, that they can’t even manage the bare minimum business necessities required to keep a radio show on the air.
Liberal talk radio must find new Los Angeles, Chicago stations
It was on, then it was off, then it was on again, and now it will be off again.
Al Franken and the gang at Air America Radio, the recently launched liberal talk-radio network that became embroiled last week in a financial dispute with the owner of its Chicago and Los Angeles stations, will broadcast over WNTD-950 AM in Chicago for the last time on April 30, the CHICAGO TRIBUNE is reporting in fresh runs.
...Air America must seek new homes in the nation’s second and third-largest markets less than three weeks into its short life.”
They can’t run a radio show—but they want to tell everybody how to run the country.
Check, please.

I haven't listened to it, and don't plan to. Then again I don't listen to Stern, Limbaugh, Savage, or anybody else out there. Talk-Radio has really become polarized and unfair. Besides the buzz I heard was that it wasn't very good on top of it. At least they could have gotten some real radio guys.
