WELL WELL...It looks as if my week is turning into the best week EVAH!!
Air America is...no more. :
""The company, founded in 2004 and based in New York, strove to provide left-leaning commentary and call-in programs as an alternative to such popular conservative radio talkers as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage.
It was troubled almost from the start. The company had difficulty lining up affiliates and attracting a sizable audience. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy-court protection just 30 months after its inception and was resold to an investor group in early 2007 for $4.25 million.
Charlie Kireker, one of Air America’s principal owners and its chairman, said in a memo to employees Thursday that the company was done in by “a perfect storm” of plunging ad revenues, intense competition, high debt and poor prospects for new financing. A search for new investors, he said, has been fruitless. The company declined further comment.""
Now while a part of me is in a sort of gloat mode, A part of me wishes that they hadn't gone under. Why? Because the more things out there the better. The better for people being employed!
The problem "air america" has is the same problem that the liberal mindset had in Massachusetts and really across the country. And that is a revulsion to that liberal mindset. A revulsion to liberal philosophy. To liberal 'values' across the board !
In short "Air America" failed for the same reason liberal philosophy fails.....It just plain sucks.
