A month ago they were denying rumors of bankruptcy

I guess libs don't like being told what to think.

Either that or nobody cares what they think.

I think it is essentially the same problem many franchises have. Too much early expansion. Conservative talk radio may be omnipresent but it got there through organic growth. Air America was an attempt to come into the market place fully realized and that takes a lot of money without much initial return. Plus, Al Franken has the most annoying voice on radio (ignoring Narcy David on KCBS).

Don't tell me that I don't like being told what to think.

I think it is due to market saturation.....TV, internet, and print media are not exactly the domain of conservatives. Air American wasn't competing with conservative talk radio they were competing with a massive non-conservative media.

As long as I can still listen to Stephanie Miller on my way to work....

Me too. And I was wondering why everyone kept expressing "not surprise" and how it was possible that I hadn't heard of this airline.

Plus we know it's not safe to masturbate while driving.

Lest we think think it is indicative of Liberalism in America, let's just take a quick glance at the polls, or take a peek at the current cover of the right leaning magazine, Time: Yes, that big old tired elephant is walking into the sunset. Morning in America? Not for the Right, anyway. Air America will be around for awhile yet. But the Neo-Con movement is dead in the water. Can I get a witness?
