Opinion Piece On Air America Stirs Nasty Responses

[Paul Hopfgarten]

Because Liberals have no sense of humor! (By and large)

The Nat Gaurd Gen in MA that forwarded what was a genuinely funny e-mail,
and the Dems take a nutty!

Geesh!

Subject: Opinion Piece On Air America Stirs Nasty Responses


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"
