If the libs can't run a radio network, what the heck makes them think they can run this country?

[cardinal4]

Air America Radio, the upstart liberal talk show network that has been plagued by management troubles, is seeking to raise new money in efforts to pay off debts and steer the business back toward profitability.

Management troubles? No one is listening. Who wants to hear Al and Jeanne say Bush sucks all day?

Will someone please inform the media...that this moral cesspool has never made a FRIGGIN DIME!

Liberal Radio Network Air America Raising New Cash

[Cicero]

Papantonio and others attributed the company's troubles thus far to mismanagement by Cohen, a former Republican political operative in Guam.

Those Guam Republican operatives are the very worst.

"Air America Radio, the upstart liberal talk show network that has been plagued by management troubles, is seeking to raise new money in efforts to pay off debts and steer the business back toward profitability. "

How do lead a company back to profitability when it was not profitabile in the first place?

Liberal double speak.

Nothing except public service announcements and liberal business a la Ben and Jerrys is going to advertise here.

Advertisement is the art of inducing people with money to part with their dollars on your product.

No audience, no pay off on advertising.

I think raising 8M is an escellent idea. Wealthy leftists will have that much less money to donate to Democrats. I hope they raise 50M.

[jla]

Maybe this summer during the Democrat convention they can allot some time for an Air America telethon.
If they're still around. hehe

[dandi]

What advertiser or investor is going to want to throw more money down this black hole? Raising money to expand is a good thing, but if you have to raise money just to pay off debts or get back on track, things are circling the bowl.

"Rob Glaser, chairman of RealNetworks Inc"

So much for Real Player! Bye bye Real Player!

[RS]

They could pick up a couple of bucks running those "mediamatters.org ads - no other stations seems to want to ...

[billorites]

"Cohen, a former Republican political operative in Guam."

Say again?

[Rocky]

"steer the business back toward profitability"

Rather than returning to home turf, this is more like exploring uncharted waters for them.

"Cohen purchased the company from Drobny"

The business arrangements surrounding this endeavor have always puzzled me. If Cohen purchased the company, how could he be ousted as CEO?

"The network has also made efforts to get Democratic party presidential nominee John Kerry to spend more of its campaign money on ads aired on Air America."

Why would either party want to advertise on programs that are only listened to by sold-out fanatic Democrats?

"Papantonio and others attributed the company's troubles thus far to mismanagement by Cohen, a former Republican political operative in Guam."

Wouldn't you know, it's a Republican behind the failure. LOL. What in the world is a Republican political operative? And what would he be doing in Guam?

[HHFi]

Papantonio and others attributed the company's troubles thus far to mismanagement by Cohen, a former Republican political operative in Guam.

A network funded by liberals, managed by liberals and staffed entirely by liberals hits the rocks, and they somehow manage to find ONE GUY who once was involved with Republicans -- in GUAM!! -- to blame it on. Hilarious!

I work in radio, and if anyone out there has money they want to invest in Air America, I suggest you give it to me instead. I will guarantee you the exact same return rate on your money. It will be zero, but at least your money will go to a good cause (paying off my mortgage) rather than just peeing it out a window.

[CyberAnt]

That is an excellant point!

I have a question: Does anybody know for sure if the "RealNetworks" mentioned is connected with the "RealOne" audio/video program. If so, I am not going to be happy.

[technomage]

Well, I just uninstalled RealPlayer from my computer and sent them a few E-mails letting them know I did so.

If the libs can't run a radio network, what the heck makes them think they can run this country?

The power to tax. :)

[ThanhPhero]

steer the business back toward profitability.

Back toward profitibility?

Back ??

[PMCarey]

If a tree falls during an Air America program ...

... does it make a noise?

[steplock]

WHO is getting their monies? I hope they keep on pouring everything they've got into that 'money pit'

[Vince Ferrer]

This is very good news. It needs to linger on and continue draining money.

They can run a country into the ground that's for sure!
