Falafel Boy sees Air America demise as "proof" of right-leaning US, overlooks Moonie Times dirt nap
VIDEO @ the URL below.

Bill O'Reilly says 'Air America' failure is proof the country is turning right. No mention of the Moonie Times, though.

Bill O'Reilly is a gloating kinda guy, and he couldn't help but crow over the corpse of Air America on The O'Reilly Factor last night, lumped in with Fox's recent ratings victories. As usual, though, he didn't just gloat -- he used his "victory" to jump to the conclusion that this all just showed that the nation was "moving to the right."

Eh? Lessee, the long-awaited demise of a business run poorly from the get-go means the country is becoming more conservative?

Then what about the right-wing Washington Times? Doesn't its imminent demise thus prove the nation is turning left?

O'Reilly, in fact, has never even mentioned the demise of the Moonie Times. Funny thing, that.

1. Doesn't the idiot understand that I'm listening to the same talkers?
Most of them had arranged to work through different companies (or handle things themselves long ago). And, I can actually download what they record, Falafel-Loofah Boy, and listen to them at my leisure. The miracles of modern technology!

2. Radio In General
Radio in general has been doing badly for at least a year.

Clear Channel (the largest), (right wing radio) has been teetering toward bankruptcy for all of 2009.

Citadel, the 2nd largest filed for bankruptcy in Dec.

Air America was owned by right wingers, they ran it into the ground on purpose. All the left wing talkers are privately syndicated by now so it doesn't really affect them.

Falafel boy is just talking out his ass as usual.

10. Isn't O'Loofa's radio show carried by Shitadel?
How's he gloating about Air America's demise if his own network is going under?
