Which Side Will Prevail?
I was able to catch the HBO documentary "Left of the Dial" this week and it was just as good as I hoped it would be. The look on their faces, (especially Janeane Garofalo), on election night as it became clear that Kerry and the Democrats had their heads handed to them by the American voters, was just priceless. Randi Rhodes made a comment that people lived in cities because "that's where the food and water is." I was forced to wonder how many farms there are in uppper Manhattan.
All in all a collection of immature and whiny crybabys who are desperately out of touch with the rest of the country and reality. For the sake of comedy fans everywhere, I hope they stay that way.
Oh, and one more thing. Here is an interesting analysis of AirMoonbat's financial and ratings situation courtesy of Brian Maloney, The Radio Equalizer.
Air America now lists 51 mostly tiny affiliates, which is not very impressive after a full year of media attention, industry affection and trade publication hype. Many smaller conservative radio networks can boast twice that number and still not be taken very seriously by radio professionals.
There are dozens of syndicated talk program providers for conservative programming, sports and specialty shows. Many hundreds are available for stations to take and you never read about them in newspapers. Yet lots of them are carried on more stations than Air America.
And it isn't too new to measure, especially not in New York City, where WLIB's just-released numbers show, in the broadest audience measurement of adults 12+, that Air America's flagship station has declined to a tiny 1.1 share of the audience. There's a full year of data to look at now and the picture isn't pretty for lib talk.
