THE BANKRUPTCY OF THE LEFTIST TALKRADIO NETWORK "AIR AMERICA" WAS DUE TO THE BANKRUPTCY OF LEFTISM

EMAIL TO JONAH AT THE CORNER:

Your comment ... indirectly illustrates perfectly the mindset of the Air America crowd. You or I might think about starting a radio program devoted to a particular political polarity in, say, Austin. It may do very well in Austin at which time we or someone else might say "lets see how it plays in Muncie, etc." and on and on until we have expanded nationwide into markets where the show does well, like Limbaugh and the like.

The Air America crowd says "we'll build a nationwide network and keep pouring money into it no matter how few people listen and it will thus be a success", just like a government program. What they have found, however, is that, unlike with a government program, the money does not automatically keep pouring in. There are only so many poor childrens' piggy banks that can be raided and even liberal investors want a rate of return eventually.

EXACTLY! Air America failed because the folks who started it are Leftists and their business plan was Leftist. And so doomed to failure as was the USSR and Red China.

ALSO: Leftists in the USA have NO NEED for Left-wing talk-radio; the Left already controls the MSM and already gets all the biased and distorted partisan news they want! It was due to this overwhelming Left-wing bias in the MSM and the dirth of objective right-of-center news that the Right migrated to radio.
