Today Glenn Beck announced that Air America is going out of business as of this weekend. Did he just make that up or is there a possibility that they finally saw the light and decided to allow the government to introduce a Fairness Doctrine to allow their reformation with government financing so there will be a bit more fairness in broadcasting.

Seriously, do any of you people who read at ThinkProgress, MediaMatters, or Democrati Underground know about this already?

Wow. Fox tells the truth, as usual, and some leftist screecher calls it "Another Fox lie" without even checking.

I guess some things never change.

Thanks, though, for illustrating (however obliquely) just why Air America went bust: their tactics mirrored yours. And so nobody wanted to listen to them.

I would suspect that this claim about "Air America" is a lie. I would think that perhaps Beck's statement represents his own wishful thinking.

Who's the "leftist screecher"? roysoldboy? I think he would beg to differ.

It's true. Air America appears to be dead.

How is this a "Fox lie"? Air America filed bankruptcy and is shutting down.

Correction: Two leftist screechers call Fox's true statements "a lie" without even checking.
