FranksTanks 0 Posted September 13, 2006 I know it's about a long five sentence article, but right there on the bottom, it says: UPDATE: Air America responds. If Air America had filed for bankruptcy every time someone rumored it to be doing so, we would have ceased to exist long ago; it may be frustrating to some that this hasn’t happened. No decision has been taken to make any filing of any kind, we are not sure of the source of these rumors and frankly can not respond to every rumor in the marketplace.

So shall I incessantly bump this thread until AirAmerica goes bankrupt, or should we just admit you're wrong and move on? Let’s just chalk this up as another conservative reading comprehension success story and call it a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,907 Posted October 13, 2006 Talk radio lends itself to soundbites and blathering - perfect for your typical Bush apologist who relies on lots of simplistic black v. white constructions: Us v. Them, Christianity v. Islam, Totally For Bush's Policies or With the Terrorists, etc. The demographic for talk radio is overwhelmingly older than the general population and stupider. They should focus on the Internet instead - much younger, more intelligent and wealthier demographic. Daily Kos is I think the most visited blog on the Web.

The majority of people are outside the "younger, more intelligent and wealthier demographic". So keep concentrating on that 20% of america and losing elections. That'll get you places.

That'll get you places. I'd sooner be courting young professionals for votes than old people. The elderly get to the polls but they also, y'know, die. Commercial radio is also a dying medium. Both parties should focus on the Internet and both sides are doing a really good job of leveraging the web. Instapundit and the Daily Kos are both well-written, entertaining and informative, if only because they direct you to news you might otherwise see. HTH.

Talk radio will continue on into different mediums - podcasting, satellite radio, etc - and people will continue to listen. You are an idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Podcast:Download onto an MP3 player, bring it with for the commute. Satellite Radio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_radio Commercial broadcasting is the practice of broadcasting for profit. Perhaps the best known commercial broadcasters are the venerable ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC television networks, as well as radio giant Clear Channel Communications, based in the United States. Major US commercial cable operators include Comcast, Adelphia, Time Warner Cable, and Cox Communications; satellite services include DirecTV, Dish Network, the UK's BSkyB, and the radio services Sirius, WorldSpace, and XM. In Asia the best known Commercial Service was with the oldest radio station in the region, Radio Ceylon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
