Tube, a couple of things:
No one gives a damn about the color of your skin, or where you're from. As has been said inside this business and out, the content of your comments are what counts, not the color of your skin.
I don't know Paula at all but from whatever can be gathered by those who have commented about her here or in the industry, she appears not to be very good at running a radio station, and that's got nothing to do with skin color, either.
It's probably a good guess that the current format won't deliver ratings any more significant than anything else that has surfaced on what is a doomed signal, and that's the real problem with her station --the signal. That said, sorry, but to claim that the reason her "progressive" format failed was because liberal radio doesn't work is a stupid, stupid comment. Just plain stupid, but it demonstrates how even an experienced broadcaster might be blinded by partisan biases. It's not liberal radio that doesn't work; it's bad radio that doesn't work, and Air America was simply bad radio. In Paula's case, Rush Limbaugh could not make her station successful. The signal simply can't compete, which, incidentally, is a credit to Christine Craft, who, considering the Sisyphus-like odds, managed to carve out a respectable niche for herself despite what you would no doubt consider to be her politics. Her politics are liberal, but her broadcast skills are considerable.
By the way, on a political note and because you brought the names up, I find it interesting that the very people who have complained that the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson always play the race card are doing exactly the same thing with Reverend Wright. Perish the thought they might listen to a whole sermon rather than a soundbite, but clearly there are many who let hypocrites speak for them.
