This has been a rough week for progressives in the U.S. First, they lose a Senate seat in liberal Massachusetts, relieving them of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Then, the Supreme Court strikes down another onerous McCain-Feingold regulation.
Now, Air America, the lone liberal bastion of talk radio, has closed its doors for good. Though Air America had been through Chapter 11 bankruptcy once before, the recent economic recession forced the company to shut its doors and undergo a complete liquidation. Fin.
There is some bad news for conservatives and libertarians. Al Franken, former host, will not be silenced by this bankruptcy. He’s now in the Senate making outlandish comments and still annoying the world.
