Liberalism never sells.
Air America to close, files for bankruptcy
Air America is finally shutting down. Since its emergence in 2004 as an alternative to widely popular conservative talk radio, it has been nothing short of a monumental disappointment for the left.
You could characterize its dismal five year existence as a locomotive just barely starting to get power, speeding up to about the pace of a walk, derailing, and coming to a dormant halt in the dirt.
The whole idea of liberal talk radio is a lunacy. It was entrepreneurial suicide. Why? Because liberalism doesn't sell in America, and especially not on the radio waves.
And why does liberalism not sell? Because liberalism is a very small minority in America. True, bleeding heart, bluer than blue liberalism.
It's like trying to sell winter parkas in Egypt. It's just not needed, or wanted. People don't like hearing about saving caribou, homo rights, killing babies, reaching out to people that hate us, apologizing for America, moral relativism, the glorification of big government and how you need their help. They don't want to hear that crap. I know I don't.
In the decimation of Air America and the slumping ratings as PMSNBC, while conservative talk radio and Fox News ratings continue to skyrocket, it is only evident that Americans crave and yearn for conservative voices and opinions, not liberal ones.
The only reason liberals sometimes gain widespread support, as in the election of Barack Obama, is on account of ignorance, stupidity, and blind following by hordes of Americans who don't follow or have little or no knowledge of politics or American history.
Maybe they should have called it Air Guevera or Air Mao. Might have sounded a little more attractive to the potential liberal audience.
