ThinkProgress: Air America To Declare Bankruptcy

[Radio_Realist]

I read somewhere that Al Franken claims not to know anything about AAR going bankrupt. I also read that Rob Glaser is withdrawing his financial support to AAR.

You read it here.

Stealing information from other people's posts without attribution?  Hmm.  Maybe you do work in radio.

As opposed to stealing with attribution? I simply thought this information was germane to this particular thread.

Scott, in my judgement, it was new information and more appropriately posted to a new thread and this thread had veered off to other issues.
When you have something new to post, you are free add to a current thread, bring up an old thread or start a new thread, as in your best judgement seems most appropriate.
When I have something new to post, I will do the same.
Reasonable people may differ.
If that's not satisfactory, maybe we can move this issue the new Take It Outside board.

Which just goes to show that your judgement isn't very good.

And who is Scott?

There's more in the AAR bankruptcy story. I just read this:

NEW YORK (AP) -  Financially strapped Air America Radio, after star commentator Al Franken said his paycheck had stopped coming, acknowledged Thursday that it had laid off a few employees but insisted it has no plans to declare bankruptcy.
...
Franken, broadcasting Thursday from New York, said he was aware of the bankruptcy rumors.

"We may or may not, that's what I'm hearing," Franken said at the start of his noon broadcast. But he assured listeners that the financial problems wouldn't silence the network.

"How late are they on the paycheck? Not very," said Franken, who claimed he was making a joke when he told Radar online reporter John Cook that he knew the network was having cash-flow problems because "there's no cash flowing to me."

The last time the network missed a paycheck to Franken (and others) was in 2004, shortly after it launched. It was discovered that then-chairman Evan Cohen hadn't raised as much money for the network as he claimed.

Franken referred questions about his company's health to Air America officials, saying, "I'm not involved on a management level."

Air America has made "no decision to make any filing of any kind," a spokeswoman said Thursday. "We continue to operate, we just announced our fall schedule and are doing everything we can to move forward." She would not comment on Franken's missing paycheck.

Actually, the replies belong right here in this thread.  You spammed the forum with multiple posts which add very little to this topic, which is just one more reason why the information from Franken belongs right here.

There is no reason to create multiple new topics on an issue just because a fragment of new information arrives.  It results in threads on other topics being pushed off the first page.

Another month, another gloat-effort by O'Reilly who has basically declared to his viewers the office furniture is up for sale as the lights get turned off.  Imagine him jumping the gun on this story.  Alan Colmes was on to throw a few shots claiming while he did "entertaining" radio, AAR did not.  Gallagher was on to tell us how much he is loved by liberal and conservative callers alike.  Yeah.

I wonder how many times Fox viewers will see O'Reilly do the same story on Air America going off the air before they realize he's a blowhard.
