Yea, this one should be a lot of fun! I have infuriated more than one liberal with a well timed piece of logic or direct facts.

This venture is doomed to fail but lets enjoy the ride!

"Bring 'em on..."

[bmwcyle]

the best thing for Freepers to do is not listen, not call in, and just let the show exist all by itself.

This is just another development as we come to more clearly recognize that we are in Civil War II. These things will happen as the left dies off and becomes a mere echo.
Make no mistake, the left sells the ever enduring lure of something for nothing, so they will never completely disappear. Someday we will have to fight them off again but; for now let's enjoy what is unfolding.

Liberals on radio talk shows have no future.

The market for liberal listeners is monpolized by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc on T.V.

Also, like children, liberals find it easier to relate to pictures than books, radio or intelligent Internet discussion sites.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Isn't ie America already the Left's radio network? Not to mention NPR or Pacifica (which has become a circular firing squad.)

[lawgirl]

This is fabulous news. Now instead of whining about how conservatives rule the airwaves, they can launch their own network and when it fails, that seals it. No more debate- the people simply don't want to listen to the dems and they will be relegated to NPR again.

[RabidBartender]

Six months.

Tops.

I imagine they either get a bunch of "pretend" conservatives to call in, hired to look stupid and inept, or they don't take any conservative callers at all.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Another area for Franken to suck in.

[shiva]

Look for that station to go the way of Rosie O' Donnell.

Radio consists of two partners: Listeners and sponsors. The conduit between these two is the program content. If that conduit stops flowing one way or the other, it is doomed.

Unless Al and the rest of these liberal talents plan to fund this "experiment" through donations, the capitalist spirit that is radio will snuff it all out before American Liberal Radio can celebrate it's first anniversary.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Oh come on Al, do you really think anyone will take your seriously?

Or even series?

[FierceDraka]

LOL Franken's going to be torn to pieces by his own callers.

People who listen to talk radio (myself included, so I'm a little biased) tend towards using their intellect to tackle difficult issues.

Liberal cry-babies, on the other hand, would rather have their opinions spoon-fed to them by RatherJenningBrokaw in the evening, while listening to limp-noodle pseudo-rock like Pearl Jam all day long.

If Fanken's show gets a spot in the Indinanapolis market, I'll give it a listen. Not out of any love for Franken, though. More out of a desire to hear him get verbally eviscerated by the light of truth and reason.

There is a Volvo driving liberal/communist in the Boston market (he lives in Cambridge) on the radio who is funny, inciteful and can hold an audience. His name is Jim Braude. Even though I never agree with him, he is listenable. If given the chance, I think he could actually make a go of it.

[Phantom Lord]

bump

[Centurion2000]

Al Franken will be getting a talk show.

And Gosh darnet .. people like me.

This will last a month ... three tops.

[Zeppo]

In addition, the same network plans to air a show called "Champions of Justice," hosted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. is widely recognized as one of the most brain-dead members of Congress.

Is he confusing RFK Jr. with Patrick Kennedy (as the brain-dead member of Congress)?

[Natural Law]

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it did it actually make a sound? If Al Franken gets a talk radio show...........?

[1Old Pro]

Mario Cuomo will be next, Whoopee

[F16Fighter]

Progress Media has signed Franken to a one-year deal to host a show opposite Rush Limbaugh from Noon to 3pm eastern time.

Isn't this like airing World Cup Soccer directly opposite the Super Bowl?
