Air America DIES!

   AIR AMERICA is DEAD, last night, sadly (giggle) was AIR AMERICA's LAST SHOW. Apparently (whether true or not) left the air playing a list of their best moments, as jested by MOST conservative radio stations today, that was from the time of 5:59 - 6:00 pm.

   Is this a surprise? NOT in the least, read the writing on the wall. The passive conservatives have stood up and are growing in light of Obama's radical agenda. If this is not evident to you yet, take a look at Massachusetts, they elected Scott Brown, Massachusetts has been a democrat focused state for nearly 50 years. This interruption of the Super Majority in the Senate means now that Obama can no longer rush through, radically and carelessly more of his "reform/change".

   So why did AIR AMERICA die? It's simple, WE CONSERVATIVES or THOSE OF US WHO are INDEPENDANTS WHO CAN THINK for OURSELVES and do NOT require the government to do it for us, is SICK and TIRED of the crap that is the agenda of Obama. If this was not obvious to you, I'll spell it out....AIR AMERICA pushed the left (liberal) agenda and kept stating that the more trust and money that goes in to the government, the better all of our lives will be. YEA, RIGHT. We have a FREE MARKET!!! AND the free market spoke when it came to AIR AMERICA as it DID NOT have the listener base, therefore it DID NOT have advertisers and lastly the government DID NOT bail it out, but there was lots of talk to do so!

   KEEP THINKING AMERICA, STAY INFORMED however you can, and ALWAYS ask the questions:

  • Does this make sense to me, as an individual?
  • Does this make sense to my community or city?
  • Will this help our State or make sense for our state?

   This country was built on principles and values that can be found in several religions, religions of peace and harmony and not tyranny and oppression. Do you remember these? Honesty, Reverence, Hope, Thrift, Humility, Charity, Sincerity, Moderation, Hard Work, Courage, Personal Responsibility, Gratitude. Even more of the principles are on my front page.

Scott Brown Final Nail in Air America Coffin - Liberal Media Losing Keith Olbermann

New York, NY - Air America is shut down by the force of the Conservative movement sweeping the nation. Well, almost.

Air America was a money losing entity because there has been virtually no demand for liberal radio product.

In the marketplace of ideas - Air America game to market with an empty basket. The Scott Brown Senate victory seems to be a perfectly timed symbolic gesture to the bankruptcy of Air America. Is it any wonder why Liberals do not like competition and forever promote socialism.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and his increasingly incomprehensible Liberal nightly diatribes may be next.

I leave you with AIR AMERICA's final statement, which appears on their web page

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.

Those companies that remain are facing audience fragmentation as a result of new media technologies, are often saddled with crushing debt, and have generally found it difficult to obtain operating or investment capital from traditional sources of funding. In this climate, our painstaking search
for new investors has come close several times right up into this week, but ultimately fell short of success.

With radio industry ad revenues down for 10 consecutive quarters, and reportedly off 21% in 2009, signs of improvement have consisted of hoping things will be less bad. And though Internet/new media revenues are projected to grow, our expanding online efforts face the same monetization and profitability challenges in the short term confronting the Web operations of most media companies

When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation's history — when dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as "un-American" — Air America and its talented team helped millions of Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most pivotal events and decisions of our generation.

Through some 100 radio outlets nationwide, Air America helped build a new sense of purpose and determination among American progressives. With this revival, the progressive movement made major gains in the 2006 mid-term elections and, more recently, in the election of President Barack Obama and a strongly Democratic Congress.

Laws have changed for the better thanks to this revival.....but all the same our company cannot escape the laws of economics. So we intend a rapid, orderly closure over the next few days. All current employees will be paid through today, January 21. A severance package will be offered tomorrow to full-time current employees with more than six months of tenure.

We will strive to assist affiliates and partners in achieving a smooth transition. Starting at 6 pm EST today, we will provide our affiliates, listeners and users a selection of encore programming until 9 pm EST on Monday, January 25, at which time Air America programming will end.

We are proud that Air America's mission lives on through the words and actions of so many former radio hosts who are active today in progressive
causes and media nationwide. In the years ahead, as we look back, we should all be proud of our passionate determination to assure that our nation's
progressive voice would be heard loud and clear. Through the hard work and dedication of current staff, and those who preceded you, a lasting legacy
was forged which will now continue through other voices and venues.

Thank you.
