After all the anticipation, AirAmerica radio is here. The first broadcasts yesterday got mixed reviews in the media. The Washington Post piece was somewhat irritating: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A40719-2004Mar31.html?referrer=email
There were amusing quotes from O'Reilly The Conqueror and Boston conservative radio host Jay Severin, and clearly neither one was aware of the astounding irony in their comments.
Severin: "Yes, we know you believe with utmost sincerity that we are monstrous Neanderthals, but do you really believe your left-wing/pacifist/United Nations/French worldview will win a big middle-class audience? In America?"
O'Reilly: "this whole liberal network scheme is just plain stupid. . . . These pinheads backing the venture will lose millions of dollars because the propaganda network is simply tedious and tedious doesn't sell."
In now-commonplace extremist Republican fashion, they accuse their counterparts of the very offenses they thrive on, while portraying themselves as saviors and expressing the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of zealots.
While the network is broadcast on few stations so far, we can listen live on the web via AirAmerica's website:http://www.airamericaradio.com/
Onward through the fog, Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo.
Interesting footnote: the Blogger spellcheck suggested a replacement for O'Reilly: Orwell
SOCIETY, POLITICS, MUSIC, WHIMSEY and FREE SHAMWOWS. There's so much bad in the best of us, and so much good in the worst of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us. But I'll do it anyway. Stay tuned for social and political news and commentary that you won't find anywhere else. I know, I've looked around. All other blogs are empty, vapid wastes of time. Mine will not be empty.
Congratulations to Air America for starting their service. Providers of bestessays.com team will have definitely to say something about it. time factor has become so important in our life that sometimes every second is of great importance. So moving quickly from one place to another place is of vital importance.
