http://www.bullfightstrategies.com/press.htm could be an interesting development for the future of the media. These are capable people with good resumes and I'll be interested to see where it goes.

To the funnies section?

Progressives, no matter how dangerous to the country they are, give great comedy. Showing their ignorance and hatred of America and family values.

air America went bankrupt. Then all the same great talk show hosts went to different production companies and are really doing just fine.

Actually air america simply did not get the unfair laws they needed to 'stifle' a better media....

Which is why they went bankrupt.

Was Air America trying to get some unfair laws? When did this happen? Did it get into the news? Maybe you can help me get more information on this.

My understanding is that Air America went bankrupt because the owners were incompetent. No matter, the very same programming is still alive and doing just fine.

Air America went bankrupt because they had poor audience numbers and therefore little ad revenue.

proove it.
I can't, and you can't prove otherwise. I only said that this was my understanding. The executives at Air America have only cited difficulty with revenues caused by the 2007 Bush recession. I can't prove that this is true, and you can't prove that it isn't.

What funding? By whom and for whom? I must have missed that. Did it make it into the news? I know that there is some discussion of the Fairness Doctrine in Progressive circles, but I was never aware of any formal effort to fund and promulgate such a movement. Maybe you can help me out here.

Proof: information that serves to convince another of the rightness of a certain claim, proposition or statement.

I submit that should I give actual proof (as per above) you would not SEE it as proof.

No matter the source...

Unless you find it for you self.

so I have givin you a statement.

Investigate as an independant American...

Proove it for yourself or prove me wrong.

which means that you are not going to bother to provide any support for your opinion. I don't think it's my job to do your work for you. as it stands now, It's your opinion against mine, and I think my opinion is better than yours.

I might add that I don't remember having an opportunity to evaluate a source of yours, because I don't remeber you providing a source. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. I just don't recall. Further, I don't remember citing any sources that could be considered liberal. I used a Huffington post source once and a Thom Hartmann twice, but I disclosed that these were liberal opinion sources and they were only offered to show the opinions of some liberals. I clearly disclosed that. I also recall using Fox News as a source twice.

Ah, but they are mere pikers compared to Conservative-leaning Obama-haters who wail about illegal immigrants ad nauseum but then hire them to do construction work because they are cheaper. And because they aren't... how did that go...' lazy, greedy American workers who wanted twice as much and took too long to do the same job'?

Funnier still, they brag about it on the Internet? Hoping no one would notice? LOL. Since the money goes back to Mexico via remittances, one might say those who do that are placing Mexican Family Values above American Family Values?

Not that we know anyone like that, huh? :)

Actually Kerry O...

Both extremes make for some sad comedy...

I want to laugh at the antics...

but the direction they wish to steer makes me cry.

Both are wrong...

Neither can see it.
