The difference is that Air America was bleeding money and went bankrupt twice and was being propped up by wealthy leftist until they realized it was a losing cause.
Today the only national liberal radio is NPR (which is funded in part by we the taxpayers) and they are supposed to be neutral, but clearly are not.
I`m a leftist who reads books and newspapers and I don`t form my thoughts and opinions from listening to talk shows.

If you want good music, noncommercial radio is the way to go. And if you can't separate a radio station's music offerings from its news offerings, that's your problem.

It's perfectly legit by law. Telecommunications Act of 1996. Educate yourself.

I'm pretty sure you know I have an idea of what good music is and I don't need to rely on noncommercial radio to find it (at least not like in previous decades). We've posted quite a bit over the years in the Music forums, remember?

That's why they're all on internet "radio", Sirius etc. Aside from a few or NPR. Fewer than 100 U.S. commercial radio stations carry liberal talk programs.

Radio requires ratings (revenue) and none of the left personalities or shows were working. Air America = financial disaster.

You guys basically don't spend or listen, I guess. Cue the snark: "Dumb people don't work they sit around listening to the radio". "Only dumb people listen to talk radio."

Soros is obvs going to try and keep them afloat for the near future.
I didn't ask for, nor could I care less about your opinions of liberal radio. My point, which apparently eluded you, was that even if Soros decided to make every one of those radio stations liberal talk radio, that certainly is no more egregious than the thousands of right-wing radio stations across the land that exist today.

Indeed. See: Sinclair Broadcasting.

Outrage is the conservative way of communication. Outrage, hyperbole, paranoia, and overuse of the words liberal, Marxist, socialist, propoganda, bias, communist, leftist, indoctrinate, groom, and any of their derivatives.

Look how well radical Left propaganda has worked out for the mainstream media...Millions of Americans side with me...they too reject propaganda spewed by the fake news MSM.

Do I need to list all the bankrupcies & other financial failures of the fake news media?

Go woke go broke....ask CNN, or Disney, or network news, or most of America's newspapers & mags...even Sports Illustrated.

Soros will start pumping leftist propaganda through all 200+ radio station, & slowly, listeners & advertisers will leave.
No, there really isn’t. Free speech is free speech.

The MEDIA is 95% Far Left including social media, entertainment and sports. So, I'll be outraged all I want.

There are plenty of whack job right wing sources. Is being paranoid amd outraged as exhausting as it is for me to be a woke, liberal, communist, Marxist, socialist, leftist?

The libs in this thread are so transparent and hypocritical. When Musk took over Twitter, you would have thought it was the end of the world from them!
