Opinion Piece On Air America Stirs Nasty Responses

[rogerkirk]

Corey Deitz (About.Com Radio Guide) did an opinion piece on Air America, their current difficulties and his perception of what it might take for them to succeed (Against All Odds).  I thought his criticisms were reasonably fair and from an industry-insider's vantage point. His main thrust was "First, It's Gotta Be Entertaining," but, it seems many readers were incensed at his assessment and took it as a political attack.  Corey characterized the responses as "amusing, contradictory and downright hateful"
