Off-Air America Will Declare Bankruptcy; Liberals Believe that "Progressive Radio Remains Strong"
The final days of the psycho leftwing talkathon known as "Air America" are upon us, as their ratings plummet and their money dries up.
Think Progress, a leftwing website for nuts, announced the news.
But they also claim that "Progressive Radio remains strong." This is the same as someone saying, "The Hindenburg just blew up - but passenger travel by blimps is not going away any time soon." For those with a lack of historical sense, the Hindenburg disaster marked the end of travel by dirigibles. The end of Air America marks the end of "progressive radio."
Air America To Declare Bankruptcy, But Progressive Radio Remains Strong
"Progressive radio" is dead as a doornail, and only those but the braindead left will come to realize it.
Two notes on the telling of this story: Think Progress listed this report under "social and economic justice." Perhaps the Left believes that when an unpopular radio network dies due to lack of money, it is not "economic justice," whatever that means. Perhaps more socialist programs for untalented leftwingers is what they want. Who knows any more?
Even funnier, however, are the comments below the story, like this one from an obviously deluded imbecile:
Yep - head on over to the site of a soon-to-be bankrupt company and pay for their "premium service."
Liberals: they know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Air America To Declare Bankruptcy, But Progressive Radio Remains Strong
Air America Radio will announce a major restructuring on Friday, which is expected to include a bankruptcy filing, three independent sources have told ThinkProgress.
Air America could remain on the air under the deal, but significant personnel changes are already in the works. Sources say five Air America employees were laid off yesterday and were told there would be no severance without capital infusion or bankruptcy. Also, Air America has ended its relationship with host Jerry Springer.
The right wing is sure to seize on Air America’s financial woes as a sign that progressive talk radio is unpopular. In fact, Air America succeeded at creating something that didn’t exist: the progressive talk radio format. That format is now established and strong and will continue with or without Air America.

I’m saddened by this. I’m going over to their website right now and joining their premium service. It’s the least I can do. If enought [sic] others did this, it might help.
