Dead Air (America)...

By now it's really no surprise why Al Franken and co. can barely compete with the sound of crickets, but Pat Sajak puts it another way:

If history had been different and the media centers of the country had been located in Nebraska and Georgia instead of New York and California, they would likely have taken on a more Conservative look over the years. Liberals would have been screaming about the lack of balance when it came to coverage of news, politics and social issues. In that atmosphere, a dozen Air America-type programs would have sprung up by now, and Conservatives would be bemoaning their success and looking for alternatives. If Rush Limbaugh went on the air in that "alternate universe," he might very well have failed. Who would have needed him?

Conservative thought would have already controlled most of what we were watching, reading and hearing. In short, what Air America is selling is available in too many other places. It's the same dynamic that made a success of Fox News Channel and a failure of Phil Donahue's attempted comeback on cable TV a few years ago.

One would think that Arianna Huffington and her new Left-wing celebrity blog project would have learned from Air America's failure. But then that concept doesn't seem to be able to penetrate the Liberal echo-chamber.
