Say Anything: Air America Update: Looks Like They're Not Making Payroll

  • Sphagnum · 4 years ago
    When this netword debuted, I heard a number of commentators saying they'd "give them one year" before the went belly up. I thought it was a bit absurd since I figured there had to be enough to at least keep the network afloat in certain markets, though not necessarily profitable.

    Now, though, I'm thinking they might not see their two year anniversary... We'll see...

    This is so unfair. They have a first amendment right to be heard. The government should pay to keep them on the air. I know... we can tax the successful radio shows a percentage of their profit, then use that money to keep Air America on. Those fat cats like Limbaugh, Hannity, Boortz, Bennett won't miss the money. They make card houses with stacks of $100's in their spare time. After all, these guys make their cash off of the back of the working man, they don't really do anything to earn that money... They just fell into those positions because their parents were all UBER-RICH elitist Neo-NAZI scum bag conservatives. You know that they all have Billions tied up in the foreign oil markets, right? If we loose in Iraq, they loose a FORTUNE! Tax them now and keep Air America preaching the truth!!! Carl Rove engineered this whole situation to force the truth tellers off the air. We must shave our chest hair and march on the capital!!! We must let them know WE ARE NOT INSANE!!!!

    These Air Idiots are just begging for a visit from the IRS. Back in December they announced they had received a $19 million infusion of invester funds, then said they scored another $13 million in March. And now they're coming up short on their payroll?

    Just how many donuts does Franken eat in the course of a week? Are we talking Oliver Willis levels?

    I'm surprised to find that out. A strange thing. I thought it was a very profitable company.
