muck Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Some may rejoice, some may cringe, and some may cry -- but as an entrepreneur, the idea of some guy / gal going home to face their family after having lost their dream / idea / business to bankruptcy is not a very pleaant thing to think about as pretty much every entrepreneur will have to deal with this possibility at some point along their path. I post this as a general and sobering observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosberg34 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I'm shocked and surprised by this. We certainly don't get enough left-wing points of view in the media at all. After they go out of business where am I going to go to get my daily diet of left wing propaganda? There's not many left (pun intended).

Ursa Majoris Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Liberals don't need to be spoonfed their propaganda like the Rush zombies so who cares about this anyway? Anyone here even know where it was on the dial, much less listen to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you've been spoonfed so much that you wouldn't recognized it anymore. You've been getting it daily for the last 35, 40 years through the MSM (ABC, CBS, NBC, and many others). Right-wing radio was the response to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbimm Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Right-wing radio was the response to this. Right wing radio was a response to scared and angry people needing to be reminded daily of what they are scared and angry about and nothing more. Rush and the like saw a way to make money feeding off of the fear. Seriously, don't try to read more into the right wing radio movement than what it is.

I think trying to generalize it to "scared and angry" people is ridiculous which suggests that you're in denial. It's about giving a voice to people who had not had one for many, many years due to the overwhelmingly liberal slant most of the media has.

About some America that never actually existed being replaced by some other America that doesn't exist and never will. Rush and the legion of other commentators are liars and charlatans but they decidedly aren't fools. They identified an audience and captured it. Now all they do is maintain it.

muck Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Look, I don't know who founded or who owned Radio America. This was simply a comment that it's sad anytime a fellow American has an idea, runs like crazy to make it happen, only to see it fail. This wasn't put forward as an opportunity to play any political card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I disagree - and I don't even listen to Rush. But when you generalize people who don't agree with you as "scared and angry" then you lose me and everyone else.

Dr. Sacrebleu Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 That's funny, I always thought Rachel Madcow was always full of hate and anger, Hmmmaybe it was something else she was Full Of . While I will not mourn the loss of Air America (listened to it at first, and gave it quite a few chances, but it was basically just as stupid as the right wing whacko shows (ie. whatever the other side is for we are against! logic and consistency be damned!)) and there were quite a few angry and mentally weak hosts (randy rhoades, al franken, and a few REAL nutjobs). to call Rachel Maddow full of 'hate and anger' is really silly. Also Air America has gone broke, but Rachel Maddow has taken off, so I don't even get your point Either way, I think that Maddow is a very poised, and bright pundit. Call her snarky and sarcastic if you will, but hate and anger? Just don't see it. Looks to me that your point was just a little senseless name calling. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
