Quote This is not a published news article, but I think it qualifies as LBN.

This is Kathy Bay Malloy and we just got news that as of this minute we've been terminated by Air America Radio.

We don't have all the details yet, but got a tip from someone who'd seen the new network lineup that we weren't included after all. We just had that confirmed by one of the suits a few minutes ago. We're told that its a financial decision.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and we'll keep you updated as we receive more information.

Kathy Bay Malloy

Don't push and shove in the unemployment line Mike.

He can buy himself an "Air Amegaphone" and double the size of his audience.

>>financial decision.

because they're not making any money and maybe the Soros
dough is drying up

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Malloy is a real jerk of a twit of a commie bastard.

57. I listened to him very late at night--Rocky Mountain time. Sometimes I wake up in the wee hours and listen to the radio while I go back to sleep. I listened to Mike read most of Orwell's 1984 that way, and I wished he'd find some more fitting literature to read. He's extremely good at it.

Re: We are told its a financial decision."

1) Piss off all your ad customers by calling them "eeeevil corporations".

2) Get an audience so small that it can be beat by bad 70s disco.

3) Profit?

Hilarious! I like this one:

"I hope there is going to be a massive e-mail protest to AAR, I sure would be willing to send one! Does anyone know the e-mail addy to AAR headquarters? Edited to add: I will not be listening to AAR if mike is not part of their line-up, I love Randi but not enough to tune in to an outlet that is destroying itself from within."

Who?

[raccoonradio]

Still mentioned on the AAR site. I guess he's filling in for Randi Rhodes

It just goes to show...that with "progressives",it's *always* about the Benjamins.

>>. Looks like the NeoCons have infiltrated AAR management."

If they did, the ratings would have gone up

[raccoonradio]

>>they'll be hearing from me, definitely. i can't believe they'll keep al franken (i turn air america off every day at lunchtime) and not keep you guys.

Even the moonbats hate Franken!!

[Eagle of Liberty]

Oh my! PJ, get on this one. Bound to be some DUmmie heads exploding as Malloy was one that they admired.

[Toby06]

I could tell them I refuse to listen now What'shisname is gone, because I refuse to listen EVER!

[JennysCool]

I want to know what meds this DU'er is on:

The corporate spin-doctors have some kind of lever with the advertisers at AAR and are trying to marginalize and splinter the rest of us. All is okay with whatever but just be aware how successful AAR had become in so short of a time.
