i noticed you made no mention of the democrats pulling out of the nevada debates...

What does that have to do with this?
Here is an interesting read for you, johnny.
---
After Nevada Democrats dropped Fox as a host of its Democratic presidential debate -- and after Fox denounced the move as anti-free speech and "Stalinist" -- I thought...damn right! How dare the progressive party in America not allow the conservative Fox to air its presidential debate. So I today contacted key Republican party chairs in the four early primary and caucus states to ask that Air America host their Republican presidential debates.
A blow for speech and against Stalin in one swoop:Dear Republican Chairman Ray Hoffmann of Iowa, Republican Chairman Paul Willis of Nevada, Republican Chairman Katon Dawson of South Carolina and Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen of New Hampshire,
As the new president of Air America, I'd like to offer to host or co-host one of your upcoming presidential debates.
Why us? First, this would allow your debate to reach many voters. Combining our 2 million radio audience, along with our satellite, internet and web audiences, means that some 2.5 million Americans would hear or read about the debate..
Second, it would allow Republicans to differentiate themselves from Democrats - embracing a debate hosted by a progressive media outlet after Nevada Democrats canceled a debate scheduled to be hosted by the conservative Fox Cable News Channel. The MoveOn organization spurred 265,000 people to complain about the original plan, calling Fox a "mouthpiece for the Republican Party." In reply, Fox's Mort Kondracke called the Nevada Democratic Party's rejection of Fox a "Stalinist" violation of "free speech and free debate." So should you accept Air America's offer, Republicans would both embrace free debate and stick it to Stalin at the same time.
Third, our offer permits you to include any other national media company as a co-host -- like Fox. For example, a panel with Fox representing the conservative viewpoint and Air America the progressive viewpoint would make for a very "fair and balanced" debate -- not to mention that Fox's viewers per evening are coincidentally comparable to our 2.5 million listeners, meaning that several million unique people would hear your debate (assuming next to no overlap between our two disparate audiences).
We would be honored not only to co-host such an event; but also to broadcast it live without commercial interruption on the day that you choose.
I look forward to your response and to working with you on this important event.
Yours,
Mark Green
President, Air America Radio---
What do you think the republicans are going to do about that, John?

the Dems pulling out of the Nevada debate? Who cares? FAUXNews is the equilivant of Sesame Street bred with Inside Edition.
Actually, to be honest, I think they should do it. Just be ready for those GOP operatives.....uhhhhhh cough, i mean honest journalists to throw the typical FOX questions at them. Like, Mr. Osama, I mean Obama, how long have you advocated for terrorists and the consumption of babies?
Be ready for that, and maybe the Dems will get a change of heart from some folks.

this thread needs more liberal rhetoric
- johndiggity0
honestly dobs, you cannot believe that i can speak for an entire political organization as to what their intention may or may not be with regards to the air america offer.
but, given that the democrats are now of the practice of imposing their own type of litmus test on every media outlet before agreeing to appear leads me to the assumption the gop will follow suit and not only decline the offer, but also cancel all subsequent appearances on cbs, abc, nbc, pbs, and also npr for that matter.

funny way to rationalize fox being a straight-up mouthpiece of the right.
- johndiggity0
be that as it may, it's popularity is a testement to the beliefs of a majority of our countrymen.
it's not fox news liberals hate, it's the people who watch it.
- mrdobolina0
it isn't news, it is a fraud being perpetrated on idiots.
- johndiggity0
why don't you buy an ad on fox news so you can tell all the idiots just what you think of them because they cannot hear you in here.
- mrdobolina0
funny that you think it is an honest news channel.
- JesseJensen0
That's not haha funny. that's funny like, whoa, it makes sense now.
- johndiggity0
i don't think i ever wrote it was an honest channel, just the fact that more people watch it than other channels, and therefore to disregard it as irrelevant, as the dems have seemingly done, is a bad move imo.
- mrdobolina0
more people watch it than other "cable" channels. that is a massive distinction. 2 million viewers per night for o eilly.
roughly 1% of the population. seinfeld reruns probably fare a bit better than that.

say what you will dobs, rush limbaugh, oreilly, and hannity & co are not hurting for viewers or listeners.
the same cannot be said for air america, which, as we all know, was recently bailed out of bankruptcy.

what can I say, there are a ton of spoon fed dolts in this country...
