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.


Is anyone else laughing as hard as I am over this nonsense. Rich

socialists
throwing away their money??

Maybe it is possible that wealthy capitlaists and Americans are

tired of the
hate being spread daily on the AM frequencies by the right. I'll try

to keep
from labeling them as Nazis, but that makes as much sense as calling

Democrats
socialists.



Yet further devaluation of the word "hate." I'm wondering at what
point this term became co-opted as a an all-purpose slur on those with
whom the left disagrees. Given the invectives hurled at Bush on a
daily basis from that side of the spectrum, it's particularly ironic.

The first poster's comments are not that far-fetched. Airamerica is
being bankrolled--the buying of stations and/or air time without
regard to market demand--by wealthy liberals--although I doubt they
qualify as socialists. I don't have a problem with that, but let's
not confuse this, at least not yet, with the marketplace at work. Of
course a lot of people would have trouble admitting that those dang
ol' rich conservatives aren't the only people in this country who use
their dollars to influence opinion.

And Limbaugh's and Hannity's aren't being bankrolled by wealthy Republicans? I
refrain from using the conservative word, as the majority of republicans are
not conservative.

Just wondering.................
