True, true. But this guy has demonstrated that he is nothing more than a troll - and not even a very good one at that. I don't know why anyone even pays him lip service.

And again you show you have no idea what you are talking about. Randy Rhodes was a successfull radio host for years before she was brought in to do air america radio. So was Mark Riley from Mark and Mark in the morning was a radio personality before them, so was Sam Seder from the Majority Report, Catherine Lanpher from the Al Franken Show, Rachel Maddow, Mike Malloy etc. Jerry Springer was a huge personality all ready. You really have no clue.

Isn't this the same thing we already knew about? This doesn't seem to be a new charge.

Ah-yup.....De Nile jes 'aint a River in Egypt, is it?

Check Arbitron NYC for this quarter.

oyaji said:

Are you being intentionally obtuse, or do you not know how to read?

a) Bones claimed that the hosts on Air America are inexperienced and did not "work their way into their slots."

b) Ghost Dance correctly pointed out that many of the hosts had sucessful shows in local markets for years before moving to Air America.

c) you suggested looking at ratings that have nothing to do with a) or b).

Please try again.

Air America to Lose NY Flagship

Katy Bachman

APRIL 27, 2006 -

Air America Radio will lose its New York flagship station, WLIB-AM, on Aug. 31. While the left-leaning radio network’s original lease for the Inner City station ran out March 31, AAR managed to get an extension which only lasts until Aug. 31, according to an informed source.

Through an agreement with ICBC, WLIB will be operated as a joint venture and programmed by P1, a company run by former Clear Channel and Jacor Communications executive Randy Michaels. Michaels is expected to program a progressive-talk format, but replace AAR’s network programming with more local programming. A likely addition to the new lineup: Ed Schultz, the left-of-center talker syndicated by P1.

“To be clear, Air America will not go silent on the New York City airwaves. We do not, however, comment on hypothetical speculation,” said an AAR spokesperson.

It's also been pointed out that there is a huge market for "liberal media" and it is consumed by millions of people.

I am more tenacious than you. I argue better than you. I write better than you. I read posts before I respond to them.

oyaji said:
What does this have to do with the erroneous assertion that none of the hosts on Air America had experience in radio?

Swiftsure said:
The thread, if you bothered reading it, is.... NOT ABOUT THE HOSTS OF AIR AMERICA! I NEVER MENTIONED THEM!! THE POST IS ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE LIBERAL MEDIA IS BOMBING AND IT SUCKS! NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR MESSAGE!


*re-adjusts tie*

....This is like trying to teach a E.A.S.L. Class that's all wacked out on meth.....

...and you forgot to add that your a big enought man to admit when you're WRONG!

BWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Swiftsure said:

Ah, I see, you're using the "correlation between ideas and books sales".

Hmmm. That is to say your using a intangeble concept to pass a value judgement on a tangeble fact. Why don't you simply say something to the effect of..." I am SPIRITUALLY far superior than you" or " My extra-sensory powers have yours beat any day! Na-na-na-na-na!"?

You'd be making the same amount of sense, but then again, most eveyone here seems to have a hard time with reality too, I have noticed.

You are officially the most childish regular poster on the CE board. And considering how many people are in the running for that title that is really quite an accomplishment.

Earth to planet Swift: You drew parallels that were not merely specious but faulty, failed to grasp the basic usage of your own terms, then you lied about it.

Other people pointing out that your first principles do not support your conclusion is no ones failure but your own.

That's not what you said. This is what you said.

If you don't say what you mean to say, don't get annoyed when people don't understand what you mean.

oyaji said:

Uh huh. Have you bothered to read your own thread?

You are not the bright little center of the SG universe. Other people in the thread have said other things to which other people still have responded.

Straighten up and fly right, holmes.

Swiftsure said:
Can't you even admit you're WRONG about mis-qouting me? Jumpin' Judas on a cock-rocket! Are you REALLY that petty and insecure? You really should move out of your parents house already. You'll feel better about yourself. Honestly.

Here, I'll make a deal with you, becasue well, I got a life to lead and it's past my bed-time and I got to read up on Dutch private foundation fund laws so here's the deal...

You get the last word, And I'll take the last laugh...

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Air America isn't doing well but I wonder if it doesn't have more to do with who is on than what they are saying. It seems to me they tried to copy conservative talk radio. While the radio hosts on the conservative shows had been in the business for years and worked their way into their slots, Air America just handed out talk show to people who really were not radio "personalities". There are several "liberal" talk show hosts on those "conservative" stations that do just fine even while Air America tanks.
