I heard that station was just clinging to life... guess it's true.

Here we go with the liberal-leaning news.....

Liberals are desperate because they are on the airwaves? I dunno how you feed yourself

 

Citation?

I know listenership is low in DC, but growth is huge in many other markets. I think I've been through posting citations for this here before.

Quite an admirable source for your three month old story. </sarcasm>

But in fact, not really a story at all.

Hmmm... when was the last time you saw a conservative radio show being pushed in am television during the morning news? How 'bout never?

I think liberals are foaming at the mouth, and they know that now is the time they must act to get some communist/marxist in the whitehouse when "spender bush" is done mortgaging our country.

 

Rush has to be the most advertised radio personality there is...

 

Sorry if I was unclear. This was not a paid advertisement. One of the radio "personalities," if you can call him that, got about 5 minutes of air-time.

 

Dennis Richmond doesn't like black people

 

For the last five years all major media outlets have teabagged bush on an almost continuous basis.

To have an even marginally popular radio show call the administration on their lies and deception was news.

Until the plame scandal broke, and the administration bungled the Katrina disaster, I don't recall hearing any bad press for the administration since the campaigns.

And then, you know.....DeLay and Frist's malfeasance is hard to miss too.
