No longer do weary liberals have to suffer through an endles sea of conservatively biased news and commentary. Freed from the chains of CBS, NPR, and the New York Times, liberals now have the option of listening to radio by liberals for liberals. At long last, liberals have a place to go where they can address serious issues, and carry on deep meaningful discussions of the events that are shaking the world.
Yes, Air America is on the air! WARNING! The link is a little dicey. Apparently Al Franken is still not quite ready for prime time.
Which brings me to my question. If this is supposed to be a liberal answer to conservative talk radio, why is it staffed by comedians? The two key shows are hosted by AL Franken and Janeane Garafolo. Are we supposed to take them seriously now that their comedy careers are history, or is it all another big snide joke? Considering that they've named their network after the famous CIA operation that used a supposedly commercial airline to carry out clandestine missions, I'm guessing it's the latter.
Let's see, who would I take more seriously on the economy, Walter Williams or Al Franken?
Tough choice there.
One has a PhD in economics, and the other wrote "Stuart Saves His Family"
Call me biased, but I'm going with the PhD on this one.
But best of luck to you crazy kids.
