Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Progressive Democrat Issue 91: MEDIA

    I am sad to announce that Air America Radio is filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. They will remain on the air for now, but things don't look great for this one example of quality amid the sea of lousy, right wing extremist talk radio. This is a blow. It means the right wing hold on American media remains fairly intact. It is really hard for us to win in any sustained manner as long as more than 50% of the media market is dominated by right wing extremists.

    Somehow it seems people prefer the insane, terroist advocacy of Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly to the saner, more intelligent rants of Air America Radio. But you can still enjoy them for now. And I urge you to do so! And buy your Air America Radio memorabilia now, before they are all gone. They may yet be collector's items!
