Liberal Talk Radio

Question: It's been proven repeatedly that extreme left leaning Radio and Television can't survive in a free market capitalist system. This especially holds true in the case of Talk Radio. How do they stay afloat?

Well, if you're "Air America", you hijack funding that was supposed to go toward inner city kids.

"What happens when the mainstream media, after years of seething over conservative talk ratio's success, discover its alternative got diverted public funds, earmarked instead for inner-city youth and seniors?

The answer, with one key exception: they pretend it didn't happen.

Yes, only because of a New York Daily News tidbit do we know that Bronx-based Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club nearly shut down major programs recently, because almost $500,000 in governmental grant money was instead diverted to Air America's liberal radio network.

Update: whether the funding was from federal or local sources seems unclear. Sometimes, this type of funding originates with the feds, goes to cities and is distributed from there to area nonprofits. That may be the case here, based on the reports I've seen."

What a bunch of rank-friggin-amateurs!

If they're going to steal money from the taxpayers, and expect to get away with it, they need to talk to these folks:

Or better yet, they could follow the model established by the CBC. They have the government give them our tax money directly. No need for all of those middlemen.
