Air America Bankrupt

Re: [spiers] Re: Air America Bankrupt

It has nothing to do with being "on the right side of
a political situation." Liberals don't listen to talk
radio, they surf the net. Conservatives are just
that... conservative so they'll stay with old
technology... the radio. Meanwhile, progressive
liberals have moved to the Internet blogosphere like
gangbusters. The number of liberal blogs on world
wide web DWARFS the conservative blogs. The top
Progressive blog, The Daily KOS, has a readership of
3.8 million/day, three times that of the NY times and
I bet more than many FOX News shows. So, the argument
"liberal/socialistic/communistic drivel must not have
as much following as a very vocal minority would have
us believing." is wrong. You'll find such drivel on
the Internet. If you want to listen to
conservative/right wing/fascist drivel while having
your ability to think subjugated, turn on the radio.

I think radio is dying. And newspapers are not far
behind. Several of my work colleagues download
pod-casts of their favorite commercial free programs
and get their news from blogs. I've recently read a
couple of articles about the plummeting radio
listenership especially in the all important 25 to 54
year old demographic. This is just my unprofessional
opinion, but I would dump your radio and newspaper
stock ASAP.
