Air America and Camelot end the same week. Not bad.

Charlie Kireker, one of Air America's principal owners and its chairman, said in a memo to employees Thursday that the company was done in by "a perfect storm" of plunging ad revenues, intense competition, high debt and poor prospects for new financing. A search for new investors, he said, has been fruitless. The company declined further comment. No, Charlie, the bottom line is that you were "done in" by the failure to attract listeners to your leftist spiel. Now, just why do you think that is the case? Two reasons: 1. People in a center-right country don't like to listen to the negativism that is inevitable with the liberal left party line. 2. It's pretty darned hard to make a solid case for liberalism using facts. By and large they just don't support the case. If you'd take the ear plugs out and listen to the message delivered by the likes of Scott Brown, Rush, Newt, and Sarah, you might have a better understanding of the reason for the collapse of Air America.
