Mike Malloy fired to dupe the masses?

Leftist radio Air America has just fired Mike Malloy. According to Mike Malloy's website:

There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are told its a financial decision.

We are as shocked as you are, especially since as recently as last Tuesday we were told we had the go-ahead to announce our return to NY airwaves and that our contract was "on the way."

We are told its a financial decision.

More details to follow as we hear them ourselves.

Newsbusters.org presents the sentiments of a few lefties from Democratic Underground:

"I will not be listening to AAR if mike is not part of their line-up, I love Randi but not enough to tune in to an outlet that is destroying itself from within."

"I predict that Firing Malloy will be the end of Air America."

"Air America is dead to me."

"Shultz, Franken and the rest of the remaining lot ... are nothing but useless boring idiots IMO."

My take on this is that the demise of Air America has been happening for a long time. The only thing keeping it alive are periodic cash infusions from wealthy lefties. In my opinion this firing is a pre-emptive strike against themselves. When Air America finally goes down in flames, the history rewriters will point to Malloy's firing as the main cause. This is in contrast to the real causes Air America will go down: lack of talent and lack of sanity. I have listened to Air America from time to time. What is funny is that all of the other hosts make Jerry Springer look normal. Far left views simply cannot stand up to the format of Talk Radio. What works so well at making conservatives look good, makes the Air America liberals look like venom spewing quacks that are seething with hatred. Somebody wants a different reason for Air America to fail than the real reasons. So Malloy is the fallguy. No matter, they will all be given pink slips before long.
