In yet another sign of trouble for Air America Radio, the liberal talk network entering its fifth chaotic week on the air, co-founder and chairman Evan Cohen resigned Thursday, as did vice-chairman and investor Rex Sorensen.

The company also failed to make its scheduled payroll Wednesday, leaving its staff roughly 100 radio personalities, writers, and producers unpaid until Thursday.

"We're on a wild ride," said Jon Sinton, the network's president, acknowledging that Air America has suffered "the typical bumps and bruises faced by any start-up."...."

A tough break. I'll bet it would have really been good if it had been given a chance. But the lousy money-grubbing capitalists expect to get paid. They just don't have any higher principles. You stop paying them and they refuse to work. What happened to "from each according to his ability"?

typical bumps and bruises faced by any start-up

.....and lacerations, and gun shot wounds.....

FRakin needs to start on another book, ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS and NPR can't keep hawking this disaster.

So, where's the money? they couldn't possibly have burned it up buying airtime on haitian and vietnamese A.M. stations. Someone, somewhere, walked off with it; typical for libs.

[GulliverSwift]

Liberals have always had more bluster than money.

Just like how the conservatives are able to raise much more hard money, even though the media pretends like they don't even exist.

[epigone73]

Maybe, but i haven't met a really committed liberal who wasn't a thief at heart.

Stealing the wages of the poor, these cretinous, evil liberals!

[GulliverSwift]

I sure hope they're paying a living wage of 15 dollars an hour!

Another victim of the Bush economy. Where will it end?
