In a genuinely competetive free market situation, this new liberal
network wouldn't last more than a few weeks. However, I suspect that
it is being backed financially by some deep pocketed extremists who
have a socialist agenda that is more important to them than financial
profits. Poor ratings, which are nearly certain, will have no bearing
on the network's longevity. This is all theory, mind you,and only time
will tell.

The CEO is Mark Walsh and he plans on dumping money into it for three
years see:

And this

http://www.cmpa.com/FinancialTimes--March25.htm

"Mr Walsh, a veteran of HBO, America Online and the Democratic National
Committee, was volunteering for Democrat presidential contender John
Kerry's campaign when he joined the radio network last autumn. While he
has no formal ties with the Kerry camp, the "Bring it On!" slogan that
Mr Kerry has adopted appears on some Air America posters."


" The group has raised $25m in equity, mostly from wealthy individuals
who, Mr Walsh said, made their investments "based on belief and
business"."

"A separate arm, called Equal Time, which has $30m in debt capacity,
will acquire and operate radio stations. The group expects to lose money
in its first two years and become profitable early in its third."

They are defiantly anti capitalistic and are communist. Don't worry
about Franken or what he says worry about what the people supporting
this effort want.

I want to find out who these "wealthy individuals" are. I'll bet they
are communists.

Is there any historical proof that Jesus existed?



Not to detract from the above. There are very strange similarities to
Osiris and others. Religion has a very long history.

==========================================
Osiris:

He came to fulfill the law.

Called "KRST," the "Anointed One."

Born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave / manger, with
his birth announced by a star and attended by three wise men.

Earthly father named "Seb" (translates to "Joseph.")

At age 12 he was a child teacher in the Temple and at 30 he was
baptized, having disappeared for 18 years.

Baptized in the river Iarutana -- the river Jordan -- by "Anup the
Baptizer," who was beheaded. (Anup translates to John.)

Traveled widely, taught men and "tamed them by music and gentleness, not
by force of arms" [Plutarch]

Performed miracles, exorcised demons, raised El-Osiris from the dead.

Walked on water.

Betrayed by Typhon, crucified between two thieves on the 17th day of the
month of Athyr. Buried in a tomb from which he arose on the third day
(19th Athyr) and was resurrected.

His suffering, death, and resurrection celebrated each year by His
disciples on the Vernal Equinox -- Easter.

Called "The Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "god's Anointed Son,'
the "Son of Man," the "Word made Flesh," the "word of truth."

Expected to reign a thousand years.

You are 100% correct. Air America at the present time is not driven by
advertiser revenue.

That may indeed change, time will tell. But if history holds true, Air
America will fail.



Or shift over to some kind of listener-supported model, which
may be a more promising direction for them.

The long term survival of any low-circulation political
magazine, either on the left and the right, depends usually
on a mix of some kind of foundation set up by a
motivated jillionaire, a small amount of revenue from special-interest
advertising, and annual or semi-annual appeals to subscribers.
There's nothing wrong or un-American about it. The market is just
bad at supporting predominantly political media. Right-wing talk
radio is exceptional probably because the Rush Limbaugh phenomenon
gave it enough momentum to become commercially viable. Randi Rhodes
on Air America has survived on what I think is a commercial outlet
for something like 9 years in southern Florida, so it can happen on
the left, at least in specific markets.
