Air America Gone
Air America has finally closed its operation. It filed for bankruptcy some time ago and was going to re-organize, but it never made it through that process. Last Friday was the last day of broadcast.
Air America was to be the liberal answer to the Rush Limbaughs of the broadcast world who pull large audience segments day-in and day-out. It didn't work. People apparently do not enjoy listening to liberals as they enjoy listening to conservatives. NPR seems to be the only place that liberal talk can make it because NPR is publically-funded.
This newsworthy item didn't make it too far up on the mainstream news media list. I don't recall seeing or hearing of this news anywhere but in conservative forums and on conservative talk radio.
It is continually interesting to me that liberals are so well-equipped to be able to ignore their lack of support. So long as they can find a Mr. or Ms. Big Bucks to fund their efforts, they seem to believe they are making progress.
This does not bode well for the FCC to forget about air wave control plans they supposedly had dropped earlier. This usually bears some innocent or misleading name but it is always meant to provide the liberals with a guaranteed media outlet...even though they could never generate sufficient interest to sell sustaining advertising spots.
