New article on Air America problems

Kind of depressing. I hope they can move beyond this mess.

1. It sounds like a couple of disgruntled ex-employees

Plus in every article I read about the Demise of AA they mention the LA and Chicago stations closing but fail to mention why?

2. Nice to have some specifics to go with the

info we got from Randi about the Republican moles
who tried to destroy AAR from the inside.

I think Twain's quip is appropriate here: "Reports
of AAR's death have been greatly exaggerated."

4. Moles?

I didn't hear this.. Any details?

6. Listen to Randi Rhodes today.

I'm pretty sure she'll talk about the WSJ article.

Or go to her message board, the heard on the show section.
She says those two guys were Republicans who were trying to
sabotage AAR from the inside.

3. Sounds like fun - not

Well looks they have made some important steps forward, to getting it on track.

5. Randi stepped up

One of the network's on-air personalities, Randi Rhodes, formerly of WJNO in West Palm Beach, Fla., opened her own checkbook when her staff wasn't paid. Ms. Rhodes says she found "a group that was running the place that was absolutely not up to it." The New York studio had no air conditioning and some technical equipment didn't work. In its first few days, the network sometimes sputtered off the air.

I already liked Randi a lot but now I have a whole new respect for her. I also think that their going to be really successful. They seemed to have picked up a real head of steam in the last few weeks. I have them on all the time.
