2. Amazing

After all they went through at the beginning, it's amazing they're still with us.

:party: :toast: :applause: :woohoo:

3. Gee, that prediction they'd be gone in six months

Seems to be every bit as valid as Rumsfeld's prediction that our troops would be out of Iraq in six months. Maybe it's a congenital defect in the conservative brain (you should pardon the expression).

4. I LOVE AAR!

Listen to it every day and have "turned on" others to its wonderful content. I tell them, "All those other talk stations pretend they are fair and balanced. AAR makes NO bones about who they are, liberal and proud of it! At least AAR does not lie!" Then people come back to me and say, "Wow! I LOVe them and you are right, they do not pretend they are something they are not. I like that!"

See, I learned a long time ago from Marshall McCluhen (sp?) that the very choice of airing what is considered "news" is already censure. Then I learned from the Manchester Guardian that writing about an eyewitness event and what you felt, saw, heard, was telling a whole lot. So I have come to the conclusion that giving your opinion is important in giving news because opinion is in all of it anyway.

AAR Rules! (though I AM mad at Danny Goldberg and wish he would take a hike since he has changed the format in a way I do not like as much).

5. I agree I don't like their new line up.

I tried as well as a ton of others for Air America to get Guy James on their payroll. He would be a huge talent for them. But they have their own ideas. I am just thrilled they have Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy as well as sydicating Tom Hartman. Bewteen AAR & Kgo am810 out of San Fran, I feel like a wealthy guy in as far as my listening pleasure goes.
Anyone who would wish for AA's demise is not only hateful, but down right UnAmerican for not wishing to see an alternative point of view.

6. "Left of the Dial" now out on DVD

Experience the turbulent rise of America's first all-liberal radio network firsthand as documentary filmmakers Patrick Farrelly and Kate O'Callaghan follow the progression of Air America Radio from conception to the airwaves through interviews with such key figures as Al Franken, Randi Rhodes, Mark Walsh, and Evan Cohen. When a group of investors chose to challenge the conservative standards of talk radio by launching a liberal radio network in early 2004, few could see the monumental struggles that lay ahead. Despite the financial, creative, and logistical challenges that nearly sunk the entire endeavor, Air America Radio beat the odds by going live on March 31, 2004.
