Air America Radio closing, filing for bankruptcy

[_Simpson_ 250]

Yes I have.

Care to give details, do you honestly think you have listened to it enough to voice such strong opinions about it?

Are you for real? No, I don't care to give details.

Presumably you'd have me believe that unless I listen to every broadcast, every day, 365 days a year that I'm not entitled to offer an opinion on it.

That's effing crazy.

If your going to reach a liberal audience, the internet, not radio is the way to do it. Radio works for conservatives as they tend to be an older and more likely to use radio as a medium of choice.

This is not really surprising.

Where is it on the Internet that the Left dominates?

Clearly they have had a big presence on Youtube but where are the wildly successful websites which the Left supports?

Nobody said 365 days a year, your getting all melodramatic. Sure your entitled to a opinion but if it was me I wouldnt voice such strong opinions about something I know little about, just sayn.

Dude - I'm not obligated to justify myself to you

[_Simpson_ 250]

Dont recall saying that you were obligated, just letting you know how the rest of us self respecting people live.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You're asking me to "give details" and implying that unless I do to your satisfaction that I am not entitled to have a "strong opinion". What would you call that?

seems it would be true that liberals need not another liberal media outlet... abc, cbs, nbc, npr, pbs... there is enough of it. i should clarify... the list i just mentioned are left of center but radio america, the impression i got when it launched was that it was going to be progressive, extreme left wing NUTS and i'm not sure people want to hear too much of that sheet. if they were not progressive then they didn't do a good job getting the right message out when they launched.

right wingers really had no mainstream media outlets before FOX so talk radio was really the only place for them to go.... be.

Why does that matter?

Wouldn't a clearly dominate figure or site mean that most of the people who follow that political philosophy are just sheep?

[SuperDuper! 230]

Who cares? It's a business that failed, so what?

Cleo, shame on you and your big brain for not giving a more in depth analysis. Conservative talk radio offers hope, and air america just offered criticism and despair and cheering on the failure of america!

Now thats just silly.

"Blindly" following is the definition of being a sheep but if you are telling me Lefties are so "independent minded" that they have no gathering places online or on the air, that seems strange.

We know they own the dying business of News Papers.

Online gathering place for 'lefties'? What are you on Danno? Most things are not ideologically defined and most people don't visit websites on the basis of whether they are being Liberally or Conservatively run. Most people don't base their decisions whether or not to read/watch or listen to entertainment media on whether they are Liberal or Conservative either. Being aware of bias is a good thing, obsessing over it quite ridiculous.

There are not really any national figureheads like Rush, Glen Beck or fox news that the liberals flock towards. Instead the political presence of the left is made up of a lot of smaller communities online with Huffington Post and Daily Kos being a couple of the larger ones.

I think its better that way. The message is much more democratic rather than what Glen Beck or Rush says.

I said "care to give details". I only told you that if it was ME I wouldnt have such strong opinions about something I know little about. So what I was implying was that it seems rather ignorant to have such strong opinions about something you know little about, thats all nothing else. As I said before you are entitled to your opinions, regardless to how little you know on this subject.
