First, thanks for your input. AFN has an obligation, backed by Congressional mandate, to provide our audience access to the same variety and diversity of programming that they would enjoy if they were back in the States. Because political talk radio is among the most popular stateside radio formats, AFN currently offers four political radio talk shows on our AFN|radio schedule: Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity represent the conservative viewpoint and Ed Schultz and Alan Colmes represent the liberal viewpoint.

We make our choices based on popularity with the American audience and we don't censor programs. Please remember that AFN strives to provide its overseas audience with a choice and lets them decide for themselves what they want to see and hear. There is no requirement for our audience to listen to anything they personally disagree with. To review the balance we strive to achieve via the totality of our radio and TV schedules, please visit http://www.myafn.net . Again, thanks for your input, and for your service.

1. Alan Colmes represents the invertebrate viewpoint

Who in the world would find anything appealing in what that wuss has to say.

If "the troops" think liberals are wimps, is it any surprise given they are force fed colmes as a "liberal" role model.

Give 'em Mike Malloy, AFN!

2. Wow....imagine listening to Colmes one day, only to be replaced

With Mike Malloy the next....

They'd get to hear what a REAL American Liberal sounds like, and dammit, is he ever mad!



Alan Colmes, Faux Snooze's 'pet liberal'. Gack.
