Air America was a mistake from the begining. The reason why conservatives dominate talk radio is because their base wants to be told what to think. Progressives like to talk, argue, and all that jazz, which is why they dominate the blogoshericalitis. Conservatives listen and nod and follow their little marching orders. Progressives read, reread, research, analyze, and debate. Different styles demand different media and talk radio is the wrong media for progressive thought. Now, that is purely from a busindess outlook. The requirements for successful radio cannot be met by the progressive base.
There is lots of evidence to suggest that you are incorrect. I'm too exhausted from the holidays to discuss it, however. You can use the links on that website to find out for yourself why the Columbus station was always under-funded and lacked any advertising. It never really had an opportunity to get going, and the negative attitudes of people like you contributed to its impending d00m. How sad.
Half the media we have access to is slanted one way, the other half the other. To get a handle on what's actually going on, you need to listen/read both. I do my best to work on not letting either bias get in the way of my understanding, but reports like the one out of California of environmentalists protesting the building of a solar power plant in Sun Valley to help alleviate the energy stresses in the state is funny. Yes, part of the main conduit runs through a national desert, but there's not a lot of damage we can do to a desert simply by digging a ditch and burying an electrical line and the greater good is that we take (baby) steps towards alternate power sources. I have both sides of the fence in my family, and we all tend to agree that the extremes are small and loud and give decent folks a bad name
