Where did you get this from? Bill O'Reilly did a hatchet job piece on Air
America last week, filled with the usual lies and half-truths, and these
numbers were the charges made by (gasp) a BLOGGER. As far as I know,
neither Mr O'Reilly (who has a long-standing feud with Franken) nor the
blogger are privy to Air America financial figures, but I have been told
these numbers are not accurate. Oh and Bill is being just a tiny bit
disingenuous, since Rupert Murdoch pays to put O'Reilly's radio show on a
number of stations...
