If a lying liar lies on the radio...and nobody is listening...is it still a lie?

Another excellent bit of writing Ace. Oh how you help me pass the hours I must spend toiling mindlessly for evil capitalist pigs.

Im feeling all tingly w/ schadenfreude. Can't wait to guffaw, chortle and snort over Air America's imminent demise.

When they fail it will only be more evidence that capitalism is flawed, and inherently unfair, and that corporate interests are crushing true freedom of thought in this country.

Sigh.

Libertarian talk-show host Neal Boortz thinks the inevitable crash and burn of Air America is a bad thing. Not because it contributes anything of substance, of course, but because it will give liberals more incentive to try to shut down commerically viable (i.e. conservative) talk radio. I'm not sure I agree. He makes it sound like liberals *need* an excuse.

"When they fail it will only be more evidence that capitalism is flawed, and inherently unfair, and that corporate interests are crushing true freedom of thought in this country."

No, when they fail, it will prove that fewer and fewer people want to hear the garbage that passes for coherent thought on the Left these days.

Your ratings are a little off, though. It's actually "#1 among 18-54 year olds."

From the Chicago Tribune:

"But in New York, where Air America still broadcasts over WLIB-1190 AM, the network beat Limbaugh's station, Disney-owned WABC, among both 25-to-54-year-olds and 18-to-34-year-olds during the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. period. In the 25-to-54 demographic, WLIB garnered a 3.4 share to WABC's 3.1; among 18-to-34-year-olds, WLIB won sevenfold with a 2.9 share to WABC's 0.4."

More from the same article:
"The April audience estimates, which are the first data indicating whether or not Air America's brand of liberal talk radio can find an audience, come from a third-party analysis of Arbitron data, called 'extrapolations.'

Insiders cautioned that, while it is standard to use extrapolations as a guide to the performance of a station, they are preliminary and prone to a certain margin of error."

And the NYT tells us that the "third party" here is..........Air America.

Air America has more than its share of ongoing troubles.

"No, when they fail, it will prove that fewer and fewer people want to hear the garbage that passes for coherent thought on the Left these days."

You just try and tell THEM that. They are experts at blowing smoke up their own butts and ignoring actual reality, in favor of some theoretical world that doesn't exist.

Trust me. When they fail it will be America's fault, not Air America's fault.

"When they fail it will be America's fault, not Air America's fault."

Well, of course. They have to be victims of something; otherwise they wouldn't be liberals.

or.. umm.. sorta.

And here I always thought that Channel D was reserved for the use of Number 1, Section 2 and Number 2, Section 2.

More Americans voted for liberal Gore than conservative Bush in the 2000 election.

ZING!

Well it has been about a year and Air America is going strong, any smart assed shit to say now?
You willfully ignorant pricks should tune in and learn something some time.
