Air America Bankrupt

Well it's finally happened. Air America, a liberal radio station, is going bankrupt. Now, Just a month ago, they denied rumors that they were going to file for bankruptcy. I thought that Democrats loved nothing more then to find lies that people told and "seek the truth". Well, if you go onto their website, you'll find NOTHING mentioning the filing. I would think that if you run a radio station, you owe it to your listeners to let them know that you're filing for bankruptcy. It's just common courtesy.

But alas, they don't seem to give a shit. They seem to want to sweep it under the rug. Wait, I thought that's what they accuse us of doing all the time. They want to know the truth about everything, there's always a conspiracy involving Republicans. Well if you don't mention your filing of bankruptcy, couldn't that be considered evidence of a "cover up" or a "vast left wing conspiracy"? I'm not laughing at their misfortune.....ok I am....but my main point is that if you want to accuse Republicans all the time of conspiracies and cover ups, you should ALWAYS be on the up and up about anything and everything you do, even if it's negative in any way.

People want to hear common sense talk radio. They don't care about some whack job spewing off nonsense about how the governments out to get you, radical Muslims should be treated with kid gloves, and other such bullshit. Their ratings proves it. For example, in New York, the number 1 market in the country, they (WLIB-AM) pulled in a 1.4 share in the fall of 2005. That puts them in 24th place out of 39 stations. To be blunt, they were getting their asses kicked. Badly. You simply can't run a successful, profitable radio station if your ratings are in the gutter. You can't have a high profile host like Al Franken being paid good money and getting horrendous ratings and continue on forever. What's even worse, is that the station has only been in business since March of 2004. So they made it 2 1/2 years? Seems like a spectacular failure to me.
