What A Nightmare Week For The Left

Air (Un)America has gone tits up:

It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America’s business. This past year has seen a “perfect storm” in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry’s long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.

Especially for a radio network that was redundant with much of the MSM.

    If you can compete in the market use the power of government to cheat….

    now to re-establish the fairness doctrine……

  2. a) the marketplace of ideas rejected theirs,

    b) they were redundant with the mainstream media (“MSM”),
    and maybe neither,
    but not both.

  3. Whereas conservative talk radio — even godawful conservative talk radio — is gaining more and more ground. How can that be?

  4. They served their purpose. Al Franken got a Senate seat. When you consider it, that is the ultimate height of the Democratic Party this past year. It’s been all down hill since he took his seat.

    Actually, the marketplace of ideas seems to be slowly rejecting the MSM, as well. Hooray!

  6. gone tits up:

    I would usually cheer anything involving tits, and up, but with rachel madow jeneane garafalo, randi roads acting as the tits, I would rather get hit in the face with a fungo.

  7. This is a curious line:

    … signs of improvement have consisted of hoping things will be less bad.

    What is that, liberal-logic? It’s also telling that the letter goes unsigned.

    Honestly, I have no idea why that posted twice.

    You wrote something critical of liberals, so you’re obviously a RACIST!!! That’s why you posted twice! Isn’t it obvious?
