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."

It's childish to tar people with whom you disagree with nasty labels. Do
you really think these people are communists? Do you know what
a communist is? This is just as stupid as calling William Buckley or
Rush Limbaugh fascists.

There are people of both the left and the right who believe in
democracy and capitalism. If you are going to disagree with someone's
position, attack the position, don't just call names.

If you have decided to be childish about this that is your problem. I
don't see you providing any links or information just calling names. I
did some research and drew some conclusions about the very strong
anti-capitalist statements made by the CEO of Air America. The fact
that the people that finance this effort are hidden from view raises
suspicions. The ideological terminology used in places on the web site
is communist.

Now I'll joint you and call you a head in the sand dwelling imbecile. No
make that an easily manipulated head in the sand dwelling imbecile.

What the hell are you talking about? The names and
vitae of the principles are all on the web-site. Those
at the top are business people with backgrounds in
media. I will sound like Randi Rhodes here - They
are freaking businessmen! Not communists or entertainers
like Ed Asner or Jane Fonda, or heirs or heiresses. They
are people who made their money by being capitalists. If
you think there are commies hiding under the bed, then
give some evidence for it. And could you be more specific
about the "ideological terminology" on the web site that
you've identified as communist?

First I must apologize to you for the name calling. I had no idea you so
easily misdirected. The peoples names you read on the Air America web
site are the employees of the broadcast company. Nowhere can you find
the names of the people providing the 30 million dollars over 3 years
before any profit is realized. It's the people that have financed this
operation that may be communist.

Apparently this is the plan to do an end run around the latest campaign
finance reform rules by Democrats, socialists and communists to equalize
the perceived advantage of advertising driven "right wing radio."

Oh, I get it. Walsh and Cohen and Sorensen, who seem pretty
darn rich among the three of them, at least as far as I can
tell, are not the real guys behind the network. It's really
the money men of Comintern who have gone into deep cover somewhere
since the collapse of the Soviet Union and are just biding
their time till they can take over and, uh, pollute our
vital essences. Now do I have it right?

Yep, Oz, you got a pretty good vision of Telamon's world. And thanks for
keeping the repeat of his posts to a minimum - I'm trying to keep him blocked!

And why is it so hard to get a Jew to even admit that Jesus once lived?

Ed Asner is wealthy and freely admits to being a Communist
