Alert the (Bill) Press: Nova-M goes under (Air America founder suicide attempt; Rhodes off the air)
Radio Equalizer ^ | Fed 17, 2009 | Ed Morrissey

Libtalk network Nova M Radio has been shut down, according to the attorney for Randi Rhodes, Robert V Gaulin of New York. … Moments ago, Gaulin sent this letter to your Radio Equalizer:

Randi Rhodes’ on-air home for less than a year will shut its doors. In an email message of February 17th from counsel for Nova M Radio, Inc. to Randi’s entertainment attorney, Robert V. Gaulin, the company is said to have been advised to file for bankruptcy protection next week. All payroll deposits were reversed on Tuesday, leaving Nova’s employees unpaid for the past two weeks.

On Sunday, Nova received a letter from Mr. Gaulin asserting that the contract with Ms. Rhodes was terminated due to material breaches and other reasons. Ms. Rhodes had not broadcast for over a week prior to this time, a situation which was diplomatically referred to as a “problem” that was solely within Nova’s control to solve. A few days earlier, Sheldon Drobny, founder of Nova M, and a co-founder of Air America Radio, attempted suicide and is hospitalized in Chicago.

The mystery of why Rhodes was off the air the last week is solved. The paychecks stopped.

I’ve always had a hard time with the name “Air America” don’t those liberal idiots realize it’s the CIA’s air force?

I guess liberals feel the same about paying their mouthpieces as they feel about paying their taxes.

Not to worry. The messiah is en route with bailout funds to ensure that an objective viewpoint, which the market overwhelmingly rejects, will continue to be broadcast.

The Victory goes to CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO. This is sure to bring increasingly strident imprications from the Lafties to impose "fairness doctrine."

Well, I can see the NYT under fairness doctrine?

They do NOT want to go there.

This is too, too funny. Everyone should watch the YouTube exchange between the very pretty and smart Megyn Kelly and and the looney Bill Press. A link is within the article...priceless.

Where is Stabenow’s cheatin’ husband? The Liberals must force conservative talk radio to be silent in the pursuit of failure.

The Leftist playbook is always the same, trade the functioning for the disfunctional...the profitable for the bankrupt and the moral for the immoral.

Every program, every city and every Democratic position always punishes the taxpayer, the innovator and the thrifty...using taxpayer funds to “mop-up” for those who never really contribute, ethically or financially.

I could always phone the Liberal icon’s clinic, Kevorkian, to make sure the deal is closed.

I try to catch her on bad RAT days. It's usually very little information and a whole lot of complaining - every single day.

Maybe, if they hurry, they can blame it on the end of analog TV.

If leftist suckers fell for Obambi, they should easily fall for that one.
