David Lee Roth, Opie and Anthony, Air America
'SOURCES'
Between Roth, Air America Coverage, An Interesting Parallel
With reports running rampant today that David Lee Roth has been fired to make way for the land- based radio return of nearly forgotten shock- jocks Opie and Anthony, the Radio Equalizer finds an interesting coverage parallel.
At least so far, every report indicates unnamed "sources" are behind the news leaks. That includes the AP wire version of the story.
Funny enough, when this site utilized the same approach to reveal fact after sleazy fact about Air America Radio's Enron-like corporate behavior, we were blasted by lefty network supporters.
Yet, as of this date, not one significant contention we've made about the company's prospects has been successfully refuted by Franken & Co.
That includes:
Evidence of an ongoing corporate shell game, especially involving LaRouchian weirdo Sheldon Drobny. With Drobny now striking deals in Phoenix and Little Rock, Michelle Malkin and the Radio Equalizer couldn't possibly have been more on target.
A completely accurate disclosure of the absurd salaries paid to Air America's (at best) marginally successful hosts, including Al Franken's $2 million 2006 base salary and producer Billy Kimball's insane $625,000 annual haul.
The first complete report of record- peddling CEO Danny Goldberg's less than cordial departure from the floundering network. Our exclusive details were unmatched by anyone else.
In addition, we broke the story that Air America was in danger of losing its New York City affiliate, of which the company has since been able to obtain only a temporary extension.
While it seems unlikely reports of Roth's firing are incorrect, we still don't know entirely for sure.
For us, however, The Order Of Things is quite clear. Within the mainstream media, there's a real double-standard, where everything we report is looked upon with skepticism, while the AP can handle sources and stories as they see fit.
Your Amazon orders that begin with clicks here, regardless of what you ultimately purchase, help to support this site's efforts. Thanks!

Brian,
Keep up the great investigative work on Err America. Especially on Al Franken. I'm from Minnesota and I certainly don't want to see him win any political office.

Hey, Spanky?
here's yer points, answered, skippy (and understand something: I'm not totally enamored with Mister Maloney).
1. You are not a journalist.
By whose standard? Do you mean Maloney doesn't have a piece of sheepskin from some academy deeming him worthy of entry into some hallowed hall? And what the hell does the term "journalist" even mean? I've beeen in this game for some time, and I recognize "reporter," and "columnist," but "journalist" makes me think of some thirteen year old chick scribbling in her diary.
2. You have an agenda.
WOW! Imagine that; an Intarweb voice has a focal point. STOP THE PRESSES!
3. You have been wrong every step of the way.
Point out something, factually, that he's gotten wrong.
Air Idiot survives because they receive funding from outside sources; they would be dead and buried if left to their own device.

"... many of AAR's hosts are syndicated on other stations that do not air any other AAR programs. not to mention the fact that the station is actually growing."
The only problem is that in their recent history, they're not actually growing.

Spanky, you are a maroon if you think there is such a thing as "real"reporters that are held to standards.
You've obviously never actually worked a day at a daily.

Thank you, hehateme06. That was a very inciteful comment which added greatly to the discussion of the content of the article.
Oh, but one small thing... next time you suggest that "...this self important asshole to slide under a gas truck and taste his own blood.... ", please try to be more specific about to whom you referring. Your one sentence post doesn't make it clear.
For example, how can we be sure that you're not like Bob Dole, who likes to refer to himself in the third person?
Just a thought......
