Air America Bankruptcy Proof of Liberal Bias Media

Air America has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection so they can survive a little longer. In order to survive, Air America must somehow do what they failed to do in the first place: fill an existing void in the market. In the market in order to succeed at selling anything you must make sure you have a product that is lacking. For instance, it might not be a good idea to start a business selling sand in a desert. Selling water in a desert, however, is certain financial success.

Contrast both the launching and results of conservative talk radio. When Rush Limbaugh took to the air, there was nothing like him ideologically. Limbaugh was met with huge resistance from the establishment. When Air America launched, it was heralded by the establishment and given many free plugs across the media. Yet Limbaugh and the avalanch of conservative talk show hosts have greatly succeeded, and Air America is filing Chapter 11 despite millions of dollars of cash infusions.

What is the difference? The difference is that when Rush came on the scene, there was a huge void in what he had to offer. All things conservative were suppressed, censored, ridiculed or simply ignored by other major media. When Rush began, people heard day after day what they simply could not hear anywhere else. When Air America started, there was an initial hoorah that they had created an answer for the massively successful conservative talk radio. When that passed, large numbers of listeners never materialized. Why? There are plenty of liberals out there. Air America fails to draw large audiences, because they offer nothing new. The media is already glutted with the liberal ideology. Liberals can get their fill from CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, almost all of the newspapers across the country, and from much of the garbage that comes out of Hollywood. Liberal talk radio is like selling sand in the desert.

So in summary, both the success of talk radio and the failure of liberal talk radio are proof of the massive liberal bias that exists in the media. They are as different as their ideologies; and as different as the photo shown of the two Koreas. South Korea has plenty of power at night and North Korea must turn its lights out at 9 pm to conserve electricity. Night and Day.
