LOL! Listening to CNN try to make excuses for their poor ratings is like listening to an alcoholic deny they have a real problem. Until CNN address their bias issue the ratings will never change.

Remember when CNN said they were losing because their screen format was boring, and not flashy like FOXNEWS? They changed their screen format to be just like Foxnews, and their ratings are still low. Do you think these arrogant liberals will every realize that it is their bias that does not sell?

If you think CNN's media pandering is lame, read these silly promos for a couple of Air Amerika's talk shows:

After a decade of tearing up the airwaves, this Brooklyn native comes home to New York as one of the most powerful voices in talk radio. Listed in Talkers Magazine Heavy 100, Randi Rhodes brings her own brand of impeccably researched and infectiously humorous talk to Air America Radio.

"Infectiously humorous talk?" This must be what they mean by bio terrorism.

Or how about this gem?

Time to wake up, brush your teeth and stick it to The Man. Set your alarm to Morning Sedition and keep us on as you make your way to that charmingly decorated cubicle where you help rich people increase the disparity between their bank account and yours. We’ll give you the day’s headlines and political news, without that annoying, smiley, blow-dried double-talk the other media use to avoid offending anyone who might jeopardize their access to Sweet Lady Ad Revenues. Join radio veteran Mark Riley and comedian Marc Maron for morning news served up the way you like it: In context, with a healthy dollop of absurdity on top and a side order of subversion.

Totally childish and stupid to boot. Most left wingers I know tell me that they haven't changed their politics since they were 18 years old. It definitely shows as demonstrated by the above samples of truly sophomoric promo copy. Air Amerika is programming designed for a UC Berkeley college radio station in the late 1960s. Most of this radio "talent" will probably drift back to NPR (National Partisan Radio) or at least until PBS and its progeny goes (gasp!) commercial by 2006.
