Is Bill O'Reilly going to disclose his radio program is being dropped from the Denver market?

With 200-some affiliates, I would hardly call that a special occurence he needs to disclose. Shows get dumped all the time.

Wow, was that fair and balanced , or what?

O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin, and Radio-blogspot's Brian Maloney (who I'll always think of as Blinky) telling us how bad Air-America is doing, and guessing how much longer they will be on the air.

The only surprise to me was that they didn't have room to put Ann Coulter on the panel, to provide a bit more "balance".

954, thats not true and you like many of the RW on this board have commented with glee any thing that even remotely sounds like AAR has a problem, much less solvency. O'Reilly should stick to keeping his ratings up for his radio show and staying off phone sex calls...

If thats true, then why does AAR losing a spot or two get blown up into massive failure? RW duplicity once again.

Again, a lib accusing me of being part of this "RW" conspiracy... please examine the Providence board and try to find a post from me regarding AAR's departure there. You can't find reactionary posts of this nature from me anywhere; in fact, I've suggested multiple times that certain stations should flip to libtalk. And I ripped O'Reilly apart on the Denver board just days ago, and many times before. Get your facts straight and quit turning everything into a conspiracy.

When I wrote about AAR's problems, it was an April Fool's story:
<center>
<A href='www.univox.com/radio/2004aprilfool.html'>Randi Rhodes To Return
To Green Acres</A></center>
Excerpt:
<blockquote>(New York -- April 1, 2004) ... One
day after her widely-panned debut on the new
left-liberal-slanted Air America network,
former WJNO talk show host Randi Rhodes is
secretly making plans for her ignominious
return from Manhattan to Greenacres City
(a West Palm Beach suburb) -- just like
Oliver Wendell Douglas -- before the
failed network self-destructs. The first
day of Air America programming bombed so
badly it was panned by the New York Times
and provided a major discussion topic for
the right-wing The Steve Kane Show in
south Florida.</blockquote>
Never in my wildest dreams did I think they'd be caught for
running the station like their listeners want to run the
government. Who do they think they are? Enron? Medicare?
Halliburton? Department of Education?

Or maybe a government department that gets away with exceeding
its budget every year with impunity? (Think Miriam Oliphant.)

And no, I haven't been following the scandal. I recorded
O'Reilly last night to find out about it, but I just
recorded LOST over it and didn't watch it.

O'Reilly is a P.I.T.A.!

Oh please. You have been regularly posting about it.

As usual, Fox promos promise far more than they deliver. This "investigative expose" turned out to be a mini-segment during O'Reilly which was illustrative of the kind of "fair and balanced" reporting viewers endure on Fox day in and day out.

Bill O'Reilly oddly assumed the "impartial" moderator of the report, which must have come as a surprise to his viewers who have listened to his obsession over Al Franken for more than a year and not less than six extended commentaries telling people that libtalk would never work, AAR has no listeners, AAR is near bankruptcy, and the whole organization needs to be arrested for treason. That's impartiality Fox-style.

On the right, we have Michelle Malkin, who seems to know as much about the radio business as Anna Nicole Smith knows about television. When the woman's highlight in her bio is her hard won investigative reporting about school board meetings and pole sign ordinances, can the Pulitzer be far behind?

To bring "some perspective to the story" Sean Hannity-style, we have the "radio industry analyst" Brian Maloney. That sounds far better than a failed, unemployment right wing talk show host who now spends his days writing what he considers to be investigative reports on his blog!

Helen Keller could see where this was going, and O'Reilly never disappoints.

In addition to failing to mention O'Reilly's own bad news of the day (being tossed off a radio station in a market where he used to work), he somehow also forgot to mention that Malkin and Maloney are actually in bed with each other in posting parts of their own faulty news pieces on AAR on their own blogs, that the Unequalizer was first and foremost a right wing local talk show host, not an impartial observer of the radio business, and the extent of his "analysis" is meanderings on his own website.

Only on Fox do you need to do an expose on the expose.

The rest of it was the same old debunked nonsense about how AAR is supposedly on the verge of bankruptcy, that Soros pays all their bills, that ratings are near zero, and the left wing media won't cover any of it (probably because most news programs don't air fictional stories), so people have to watch the demise via The Factor.

Once again, a handful of people spend their days and nights trying to take their traveling circus of silliness to anyone who will read and believe the stuff they are peddling. I remain amused.

Do you think Faux News, Bill O'Reilly and 954 have an agenda here? I do.

Glee is one thing. I hope you read my April Fool's item on AAR,
linked elsewhere in this thread.

I haven't followed the scandal and don't know the details.
Nor do I care.

So I couldn't really post about them, could I?

I didn't even bother to watch O'Reilly. That's how important
it was to me. I cam't stand him.
