Are you guys really that desperate for good news that you're trumpeting the failure of a book from a blogger and a drop in ratings for a radio station?

Ahh, you know, the news is always bombs going off and politicians either robbing you, lying to you, or doing things so stupidly counterproductive as to raise the question of whether they're incompetent or driven by sinister motive. A little variety in that formula is appreciated once in a while.

Nah, Check this out....
The U.S. economy powered ahead in March as manufacturing orders surged and home sales jumped by the most in more than a decade.
Orders for durable goods rose 6.1 percent, the Commerce Department said in Washington today, more than three times the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. New home sales increased 13.8 percent, the most since April 1993, to an annual rate of 1.213 million.
Yields on 10-year Treasury notes climbed to the highest since 2002 and traders increased bets the Federal Reserve will lift interest rates twice more before the end of June. Improving business demand and little slowdown in housing run counter to the Fed's forecast that growth will moderate after the first quarter.
``The numbers we're getting all indicate that the economy has maintained a large amount of momentum and that's obviously a concern to the Fed and will likely force their hand,'' said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pennsylvania.
The durable goods report is one of the final pieces of information feeding into economists' forecasts for economic growth in the first quarter, which will be reported on April 28. Excluding transportation equipment, bookings for items made to last at least several years rose 2.8 percent.
The world's biggest economy probably expanded at a 4.9 percent pace in the first quarter, the fastest since the third quarter of 2003, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
I just thought you'd feel privilaged knowing that the SuicideGirls CE Board has a bigger audiance than Air America is all...

Left-leaning new media has hit turbulence at the marketplace, newly released stats show.
A book hyped by major media as documenting a progressive revolution of "blogs" and political power, DAILY KOS 'CRASHING THE GATE,' has sold only 3,630 copies since its release last month, according to NIELSEN's BOOKSCAN.
[NIELSEN claims only 2,062 copies of DAILY KOS have been purchased at the retail level; the rest coming through 'discount' outlets.]
Meanwhile, the just released radio Winter Book [Jan-Mar 2006] from ARBITRON shows AIR AMERICA in New York City losing more than a third of its audience -- in the past year!
Among all listeners 12+, it was a race to the bottom for AIR AMERICA and WLIB as mid-days went from a 1.6 share during winter 2005 to a 1.0 share winter 2006.
During PM drive, host Randi Rhodes plunged to 27,900 listeners every quarter hour, finishing 25th place in her time slot, down from 60,900 listeners every quarter hour in the fall.
A network source says the radio ratings released today do not reflect the overall growth of the broadcast.
"The demos are better, and listeners trust AIR AMERICA to give them the real truth on issues and the Bush presidency," says the insider.
Ah-Yup.....*spits tobacco*....'aint no use in tryin' ta sell sumptin' if'n ye 'aint got no buyers... ye jes cain't git thar from 'ere...
1. Nielsen ranks are reported once a month. This means those sales were for a single week in March. even ignoring that 3600 copies puts it in the top 4% of annual book sales by title.
2. Books are not new media
3. Radio is not New Media.
4. New York is the most competitive media market in the country. There are no fewer than eight public radio stations with national NPR, Pacifica, PRI and in-house content.
5. You're really not clever enough to be as irritating as you seem to aspire to be.
The Phrase " Left-wing NEW Media" was adaopted BY the Left and is a product of their own nomenclature. Not mine. It was used to describe itself as an "attack" on Rush Limbaugh and FOXNews. It has nothing to do with the media, but EVERYTHING to do with the message.
Incidentally, Thank you for noting that PBS is a mouth-piece of the Left, they've been trying to deny it for years now.

where did he say PBS is a mouth piece of the left? it would behoove you to do some research into the corporation for public broadcasting. were you to do so you would quickly find that the current head is a former co-chair of the republican nation committee and a former assistant secretary of state under the bush administration.

Ummm, nobody who hasn't mastered capitalization should be disparaging anyone else's intellectual acumen.
That aside, new media refers to computer network disseminated data. The Daily Kos is, a book by Kos isn't, and the phrase "left wing new media" turns up a whopping seven google hits, all of them reactionary right. The idea that its a some broad and established catchphrase at all is one that you just made up.
As for NPR, its quite balanced in its content, it just uses words that people like you don't understand so you get intimidated and turn to people who pander to you.
Finally, if you think that nobody noticed that you ducked the entire substance of my post to retort with lies and insults, you're mistaken.

Noticed.
But then it isn't hard to notice, 'cause it is all he ever does in response to substantive arguments.

Like, what?
Are this book's sales pitifully small, or respectably OK?
Comparing them to, y'know, other books by people mostly known for blogging?
