no big surprise, and no big loss.

If the Dems win the presidency or take both houses, they will run full speed with the 'fairness doctrine", and do their best to put Conservative talk radio out of business as well.

It was NPR's fault.  Capitalism at it's finest!  Cheesy

I would say a "liberal media" network is somewhat redundant.

Even Fox runs the same non stories as the rest. They just aren't quite as insulting normally. Conservatives just aren't in media that much compared to leftists.

Conservatives have talk radio and books.

Nothing on Air America wasn't available on the networks, cable news and daily newspapers. They were a redundancy so they failed.
