Not that anyone noticed, but all-liberal-all-the-time Air America is dead. It would have turned six years old in April. This may be the best example yet for liberals to use to illustrate the sort of hopeless and burdensome life that would have been better off being aborted beforehand. It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business....

As you start to read all this, you'll laugh at how incestuous it all gets. Let's start with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which as I've noted in the past is tied in with the Soros foundation. Together, the two worked on something called The Project on Death in America.(PDIA) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2341083/posts And speaking of Mr Soros, he himself(his foundations) have given directly to NPR. Compared to some of the other numbers I'm seeing, it's a small amount of $250,000. But it doesn't matter. Soros money is soros money in my book. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2396058/posts Additional information about RWJF can be found here....

A little more than a year ago, Dave Clifton, president and co-owner of Rational Radio (1360 on Your AM Dial), told Sam that his left-leaning station would be a success, no doubt about it: "More than half of the people who vote are on my side of the political fence, and they have very little to support their views on the radio." But that was before what Clifton now calls "The Great Bank Heist" of 2008 and '09 -- before, as he puts it this morning, "radio stations lost a lot of their value because the advertisers quit advertising." Clifton,...

The morning broadcasters, Jack Bishop and Rich Hancock, announced this morning that their organization,"Rational Radio" would be off the air as of Jan 1, 2010. Rational Radio leased this station 24/7 from the Multicultural Broadcast Corp. The rest of the local talkers on this station were discussing their plans thruout the day. Most of them trashing broadcast radio and corporations in general. They are claiming that broadcast radio is dead and Internet Radio is where it is at.

This week Missoula area listeners of KMPT-AM radio, 930 AM, tuned in to hear something surprising. Instead of the usual progressive talk on the station, they're broadcasting conservative talk. KMPT's format change began Tuesday, but market manager Scott Lindahl said they made the decision to switch months ago.

Why is the left obsessed with the idea that the public might overreact to the terror incident at Fort Hood? Here, Air America libtalker Montel Williams suggests the reaction could rival the internment camps during World War II!

OF ALL the Big Lies told by the pooh-bahs of talk radio - that our biracial president hates white people, that global warming is a hoax, that a public health care plan to compete with private insurers equals socialism - the most desperate and deluded is this: that the so-called Fairness Doctrine would squash free speech. Nonsense. The Fairness Doctrine would not stop talk radio hosts from spewing the invective that has made them so fabulously wealthy. All it would do is subject their invective to a real-time reality check. If you don’t believe me, consult the historical evidence. The...

Toured the USS New York in Manhattan on the first day of public viewing(04Nov09). On the flight deck noticed "Air America" had a table broadcasting from inside the ship. ""

I remember the first time I saw Rachel Maddow on MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson show. As is my annoying (to the rest of my house full of normal people) habit, I was working on other things with the TV turned up, keeping up with political arguments, but not just vegging on the couch and devoting my full attention. “Can you turn that off?” I asked my wife who was walking past the blaring tube, “I can’t deal with Ron Reagan Junior’s smug act right now.” She looked at me quizzically and said, “Umm, I’m pretty sure that’s a woman…” As we...

Here is video of Air America's Ana Marie Cox on CNN talking about Fox News and their coverage of ACORN and Jennings. Ana Marie said "the ACORN story they covered during the campaign was not really a story...there were not people being signed up to vote for Obama." She went on to say "I have to say something about this Jennings story, because I think it's really offensive, they're persecuting someone because he's gay." (Video)

The Man Behind the Curtain and his Drones. ...."In a November 2008 in and interview with Spiegel, Soros made some comments that accurately outlined precisely the course that President Obama's administration would eventually pursue in 2009: "I think we need a large stimulus package which will provide funds for state and local government to maintain their budgets -- because they are not allowed by the constitution to run a deficit. For such a program to be successful, the federal government would need to provide hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition, another infrastructure program is necessary. In total, the cost...

FReeper Joy Tiz & author of Obamnanutz: A Cult Leader Takes the White House was on Air America. Typical lib host: Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush. Joy did get a few words in.

Over the last several weeks, no one has been the target of the left-wing media and blogosphere than Fox News host Glenn Beck, even more so than his radio host counterpart Rush Limbaugh. Although conservatives have decried the daily ad hominem attacks, some voices on the left are starting to realize that's not an effective strategy for championing their cause, especially when it comes to the hot-button issue of the day, health care. And that is really starting to bother Air America host Lionel - that is the daily repetitive nature of attacking Glenn Beck and/or Rush Limbaugh by giving...

Air America Radio host Montel Williams tells GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann to slit her wrist. He instructed her to go even further and "start right at the collarbone."

1st Amendment: Mark Lloyd, a disciple of Saul Alinsky and fan of Hugo Chavez, wants to destroy talk radio and says free speech is a distraction. The new FCC diversity "czar" says Venezuela is an example we should follow.When Mark Lloyd was appointed July 29 as the chief diversity officer at the Federal Communications Commission, a nation focused on ObamaCare and a deteriorating economy took little notice. But as angry constituents flood town hall meetings and call in to talk radio, a man dedicated to silencing them sits at the right hand of the president. They share a common hero...

Garofalo: Tea Party Protesters 'Functionally Retarded Adults'; Says 'I Want My Country Back' Code for 'I Want My White Guy Back' By Jeff Poor Created 2009-08-22 16:53 You probably already knew Jeanane Garofalo was no fan of conservatives, Republicans or just about anything that could be described as right of center. But the former Air America host and MSNBC regular really has a low regard for conservative activists. In an appearance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 21 [1], Garofalo ripped into tea party protesters, or what some of the wizards of smart on the left have...

You really have to give the Air America hostess credit for the phrase “charming liar”. This recording is just unbelievable, considering the source..

Obama is a "charming liar" - and that's the good part! This audio is priceless. "It makes me puke that we've just been 'Cheneyed' by a guy named Barack Obama." "What if the people out there screaming and breaking up the discussions at the town hall meetings are correct?"

...It makes me puke that we have just been "Cheneyed" by a man named Barak Obama- Greg Palas on Air America 8/11/09 The world must nearing an end, snowballs are being thrown in Hell, and pigs are growing wings. Air America is bashing their messiah Barack Obama. It all stems from the secret meetings President Obama had with the people from the Pharmaceutical Industry to craft deals and win support for Obamacare. Even the ultra-liberal Air America has figured out that something sneaky happened in those meetings, especially since Pharma is now the President's most favored industry. During the January...
