Without Air America, There Would Be No Rachel Maddow On MSNBC

[Yavin4]

For all of its faults and problems, AAR did indeed do a great service for progressives. Before AAR, it was rare to see a true progressive host a news/information show, and even rarer to see true progressives invited on these shows as pundits. Alan Colmes was the face of progressives on TV.

So long AAR, and thank you to your staff for the great work that you did.

4. Most Def

Franken was able to burnish his wonkish credibility with his show.

First time that I ever heard of Barack Obama was on his show.

21. Honest, intelligent people with a sense of ethics tend to creep out

and frighten so called "conservatives."

Especially when they're women.

7. corporate america has no interest in democratic values...only profit

[Gregorian]

17. Darn it. You're right. And now I feel like I helped it die. I didn't listen to AAR.

I couldn't tolerate the commercial content. And if I didn't like it then many others also didn't.

I'm sorry.

[madinmaryland]
