"O'Reilly also found an opportunity to predict to the advertising people that the progressive radio network Air America, never his favorite, "is about to fold ... because Americans don't want to hear that their country sucks 24 hours a day."
What a silly and simplistic reason and it shows a total disrespect for the American public.
Monsiour O' is a radio failure specialist. Take a look at what's happening to his show in Denver. He's been predicting the demise of Air America since the day it went on the air. He can't seperate his hatred for Franken from what is actually happening with Air America. Again I have to ask, what is it about conservative hosts that is entertaining and why is it when a liberal says the same thing it's not entertaining. I don't want to hear delivery, because if it's all about delivery instead of content, that's also pretty damning on the American public. It would show us to be a very shallow people and I don't think we are, as a group. Or, does name calling non conservatives just support our own predjudices? The voting breakdown in recent elections wouldn't support that theory, because even if you have all the conservatives listening to those shows, there are an almost equal number of liberals available to listen to Air America and liberal shows. Of course there are signal issues concerning Air America stations. I don't want to hear the conservatives enjoy talk radio and liberals don't because that's neither a fair view of all conservatives liking the fact that their prejudices are confirmed or that liberals are beyond such thoughts. As a moderate myself I don't like the name calling from either side. It accomplishes nothing and is a waste of my time. At this time no one has been able to answer my very simple question.
