Why would Current have a host say that the Air America story
would be blowing up?

Why would this person not look up the facts and find out the situation, instead of acting as if all MSM were ignoring the story, and saying we'll be hearing more about it soon, as if there were any THERE there.

I cannot stand Al Gore AT ALL.

1. Al Gore told them to say it? Al Gore does not write the copy. NT

2. He said it would be non-partisan.
That failure to do any research at all, and instead deliver rightwing spin on the "story", sounds pretty flippin partisan to me.

3. What "story" are you referring to?
In what context?

6. It was some news bulletin or something...

This woman was just relating news stories... and peddled this one just as any rightwing propogandist would love for it to be sold. Short on facts.

10. This was at yesterday afternoon.
I saw "most googled" ... was a load of crap.

I was on the verge of deciding the station was just useless, then they had a story about an ex-gang member who helped other gang members to rebuild their lives. I was just feeling good about the station when I saw the rightwing crap.

9. Was it not his decision to make it (supposedly) "non partisan"?
He was the one who seemed so proud of that fact.

Sickening.
