Air America Update: Theft From Children Going Swimmingly; Ratings, Not So Much

They're claiming that the it was only the precursor corporation to Air America that stole the money. Or something. I tried to read the brief explanation but my eyes gazed over.

The ratings are still in the tank, of course:

Air America's programming is now carried in part or in whole on 67 stations. Most are in smaller markets, such as Albuquerque, N.M.; Albany, N.Y.; and Reno, Nev.

Here [in Philadelphia], it doesn't even register a pulse. The flagship show, hosted by author and former Saturday Night Live comic Al Franken, airs from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays on WHAT (1340 AM).

Both WHAT and the show have fallen off the charts, according to radio-rating service Arbitron, meaning there were too few listeners to measure during the second quarter of this year - the so-called spring book. Franken's show didn't start on the station until Aug. 30.

Shockingly enough, everyone's not at the water cooler saying "Did you hear what Al Franken said this morning?"

Who is this "Al Franken" you speak of?

It takes a village to rob a child.

I believe the children are our future (sources of equity).

It's too cute by half that they didn't add, "Piquant, which is comprised of pretty much everybody involved in all the financial chicanery that went on--except that Cohen dude who we threw over the side and now are setting up to take the fall on this federal rap--would ask that everybody stop looking behind the curtain at this Ponzi scheme we got going to fleece naive liberals."

Whenever I need a laugh, I just think of that dopey hippie chick who sold her bike to contribute to the Dean campaign. In a way, this is even sweeter. You can just picture Franken kicking an aluminum crutch from under one of those spaz kids and runing to the hock shop with it.

When Dead Air America fell like a giant bird dropping here in the Monterey Bay area of CA, the radio station was going to move Phil Hendrie to a late pm time- with the predictable outcry these geniuses failed to see.
The old commies here don't even want this crap polluting the airwaves.

> Al Franken, airs from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays on WHAT (1340 AM).

"Al is on WHAT."
"Alison who?"
"No, Al is on WHAT."
"What?"
"Right, noon to three."
"Nine to three?"
"No, noon to three."
"None to three?"
"No, noon to three."
"Noon to three what?"
"Right."


"WTF."

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
