No listeners means no advertising dollars. Why make this harder than it is Mr. intellectual? Funny how the "intellectuals" on the left were to stupid to keep up with the conservatives on the radio who kicked their a$$ ratings book after ratings book. Even after the NY Slimes and other liberal media gave Air Americs massive free publicity. America rejects liberalism and this is just another example proving it.

Originally Posted By DlandDug >>Actually, air america is not doing that badly in the ratings.<< Actually, it's pretty bad. There are so many problems, it's hard to know where to start. Biggest issue is in getting and keeping stations. AAR has been bumped around the dial, usually into stations with smaller and smaller signals. (Writing checks that bounce doesn't set well with station management.) A year ago the FOR profit network asked viewers to send in donations in exchange for bumper stickers and tote bags. And now it is "reorganizing." These are not the hallmarks of decent ratings.

So, conservatives are all so helplessly dumb that they need to tune in to the radio every day to have someone tell them how to think. Liberals, on the other hand, are so smart that they apparently don't even know what a radio is. At least, based on the ratings that Air America has been receiving, this must be the case.
Originally Posted By Beaumandy <<Talk radio is a tool for the simple-minded who need to be told what to think, because they can't think for themselves.>> Spoken like a true liberal who has never won a debate on here ever. We expect the libs, who were crowing about how great Air America was going to do to say something as dumb as what Shooba just said. These people never change as they lose elections, newspaper readers, tv viewers and radio listeners. I guess the Pro Saddam protests didn't swing a lot of people to listen to their radio shows.

Wrong again.

Like I said, you don't want to meet me. What was really telling was how none of the libs even said anything to you about it. If someone told told jon or STPH that their kids ( if they had kids ) should have been killed I would stop the stupid daily feud and tell the person who said the disgusting remark to go to hell.
