Rumors of imminent bankruptcy by liberal Air America Radio were acknowledged by a company spokesman today. Also Al Franken, lead host, confirmed that his checks that amount to $ 2 million per year stopped coming last week. Two million? He's not worth it. Cash flow problems have plagued the company since it's launch in 2004.
How could they be failing? George Bush's criminal and irresponsible handling of foreign policy has caused an explosion of internet blog sites, books and movies that have made money and careers for their participants. Also the gap between rich and poor has widened while Bush has been in office. And yet Air America Radio has not been able to cash in on the circumstances. This is unlike the experience that Limbaugh, O'Rielly and many others who capitalized on the mirror-image experience during the Clinton years. Why?
Maybe it's because the liberals and democrats in spite of their criticism were behind the war in the beginning and with respect to domestic issues have never been able to offer any policies that most people could identify with, get behind and sustainably worked.
