Naldo's made of compassion. he's not laughing at the folks who are out of work, he's laughing at us. See, when it's ironic that naldo might loose his job, it's because I hate what America stands for and I want people to suffer. Just te way when I say I'm against the war it means I want american soldiers dead, and when I say I', going to vote for John Kerry it means I support terrorism. It's all in how you look at it. What Naldo does is fine, because he's a Christian and a Conservative. Anything anyone else says or does that goes contrary to Naldo's opinion is proof their an asshole , devoid of compassion and in favor of suffering. That's just common sense and everybody knows it's true. |

| KevinTheOmnivore | They didn't fail at politics, they failed at marketing and business. And, as Modular said, they haven't actually failed yet. | |

| sspadowsky | You're kind of missing the point, Jeanette. Ronnie didn't post that because he wants to see and end to demagoguery; he did it for two reasons: First, because he and all other ultra-conservative fruitcakes were saying months ago that it would fail, so he wants to be the first to savor an "I told you so". Second, he thinks that it somehow signifies that conservatives are always right and liberals are always wrong, otherwise, why would liberal talk radio fail? | |

| Perndog | There are too many talk shows on TV, period. They take up too much programming time that could be used for cartoons. | |

| Ronnie Raygun | I agree. There are enough liberal talk shows on t.v. | |

| Jeanette X | Frankly, I don't like the idea of liberal talk shows anymore than you do. America doesn't need more demogauges, we have enough already. | |

HAHA! http://www.reuters.com/printerFriend...toryID=5125267 Liberal Talk Show Shuts LA, Chicago Sales Offices Wed May 12, 2004 09:21 PM ET By Sue Zeidler LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Air America has shut its sales offices in Los Angeles and Chicago and is recasting its business plan, the network's president said on Wednesday as troubles beset the liberal talk show network. With Air America not broadcasting in those two cities after a financial dispute in April, network president Jon Sinton said, "There's not much sense in having sales offices in cities where you don't control a station." About 15 to 20 people were laid off in the closing of the sales offices, the latest sign of problems for Air America, launched on March 31 as a liberal alternative to the country's predominantly conservative talk show culture led by right-wing icons like Rush Limbaugh. Since it started, Chairman Evan Cohen, Vice Chairman Rex Sorensen and Head of Programing David Logan have left while co-founder Mark Walsh has stepped down as chief executive to take a smaller role in the organization. Sinton said Air America was in "high-level affiliate discussions in Chicago and Los Angeles" and other cities. Sinton said the company had moved away from its original business model, which was to lease and totally control the radio stations in which its programing ran. Rather, Sinton said Air America has found success with traditional affiliate relationships, under which it provides about 20 hours of programing per day in many cases in exchange for the ability to sell a certain number of minutes per hour of advertising. "The business model has changed with our on-air success. The fact that we are moving the needle so quickly with affiliates has surprised us and negated the need for us to control our own stations," Sinton said. After its launch, a dispute with business partner Multicultural Radio Broadcasting led to its programing being yanked from the air in Chicago and Los Angeles. Air America, which is said to have more than $30 million in financing, is operating in about nine markets, and on satellite radio and the Internet. Its Web site said that 15 more stations will be coming in May. "We're always looking for new financing, but the investors we have are committed and we would we like to raise more money," said Sinton, who said that certain people on the board with long-term radio experience have recently taken over key decision-making roles in a departure from the past. Serious errors in business judgment account for Air America's problems, rather than its slate of programing, say various radio industry insiders. "It makes you wonder why everybody is leaving the company," said Michael Harrison, editor for Talkers, a magazine about Talk Shows. "I think the concept of liberal radio is great, but they went about it wrong. They first insisted that stations take an entire line-up. The odds of getting enough stations to take a whole line-up are so impossible." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © Copyright Reuters 2004.
