Air America Is Off The Air…Again
January 22, 2010 · carl · Print This Article
Over the next few weeks, we can expect to hear liberal members of Congress and the media once again begin clamoring for a return of the “Fairness Doctrine.”
That’s because, once again, Air America has gone belly up.
Air America, which was supposed to be a liberal alternative to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, suddenly went off the air on Thursday and is filing for bankruptcy.
This is the second time in four years that the microphones at Air America have gone silent.
And liberals will be proclaming that we need to renew the Fairness Doctrine so that those on the political left have a voice in talk radio.
However, they continue to ignore one basic point that we here at the Freedom Medium have outlined time and time again:
The reason liberal talk radio stations are not successful is because no one listens!
The federal government can pass all of the laws it wants forcing radio stations to air programming with a liberal point of view, but if such a format doesn’t attract an audience, it will also fail to attract advertising revenue.
Of course, liberals will try and place the blame somewhere else.
In a statement on the shutdown, Air America blamed the “very difficult economic environment” for it’s demise.
That news will surely be a shock to Rush Limbaugh, who has people standing in line waiting to spend their advertising dollars on his program.
