NY Daily News Scumbag trashes Air America
Liberal radio is airing bad jokes and worst taste

(Snip)
(you really need to read Michael Goodwin's piece of crap journalism that suggests that Air America hosts suggest killing and torturing Bush, Rumsfled, Wolfobitch etc. Of course this idiot is a scumbag and basically a liar. Here's the link...

The worst of it is this piece of McCarthyism!:


During a day of torture by radio, I heard ads for Hewlett-Packard, Greyhound and, especially, General Motors. I asked GM why it appeared in such shows.

Ryndee Carney, GM's manager of marketing communications, said the ads were wrongly picked up from an earlier deal with WLIB. She said the station was ordered to "cease and desist" yesterday, and added: "GM will not advertise on any Air America affiliates."

4. My email to GM:
'Ryndee Carney, GM's manager of marketing communications, said the ads were wrongly picked up from an earlier deal with WLIB. She said the station was ordered to "cease and desist" yesterday, and added: "GM will not advertise on any Air America affiliates."'

I am the happy owner of a Buick Park Avenue but I will NEVER buy another GM car if your marketing department doesn';t adjust its attitude, PRONTO! Thre are more Democrats than Republicans around, and I'm one of them, and I WON'T patronize a vendor who boycotts Democratic media. PERIOD!!!!!!

5. Does GM run ads on right wing talk radio?
Can anyone confirm whether they run ads on Limbaugh and other right wing talk radio shows?
