Randi Rhodes radio show days are numbered

Oh this breaks my heart


Premiere spikes liberal radio show

Premiere Networks on Wednesday announced it is dropping liberal talker Randi Rhodes’ radio show at the end of the year, the syndicator confirmed to POLITICO.Rhodes, whose nationally syndicated show airs Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m., had suggested to her listeners since October that her days on radio were “totally numbered.” Premiere said today it will no longer carry her show after the year ends.“Premiere Networks will no longer produce and distribute The Randi Rhodes Show after Tuesday, December 31, 2013,” Premiere’s public relations director Rachel Nelson told POLITICO in an email.Premiere began distributing Rhodes’ show in 2009. Previously, her show had been on Air America Radio, the failed progressive radio network, and she’d made headlines during her tenure there in 2008 for calling Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro “whores.”While Wednesday’s confirmation from Premiere is the first official news about the end of Rhodes’ contract, the liberal talker had alluded to listeners in October that “my ability to talk to you is going away.”“The only way you’ll be able to find me in a little while is if you have my personal phone number,” she said on her Oct. 18 show.Rhodes’ regular guest host Nicole Sandler will fill in for Rhodes from Dec. 16-31, Sandler told POLITICO, making Rhodes’ likely last day on air this year Dec. 13.

That's what happens when your voting base is a bunch of ignorant, inner city poor people. They don't want to listen to any political radio shows. Republican voters on the other hand eat that shit up. They enjoy intellectual stimulation, which is why right wing radio is crushing it every year, while left wing radio sinks. The same goes for the national network news channels. FOX beats them all quite easily.

Righties are far more apt to support propoganda sources. That's why liberal talk radio never works out and why MSNBC gets such low ratings.

What on earth do you think MSNBC is? Its the liberal version of FOX. If you consider FOX propaganda, then you have to say the same for MSNBC/CNN. The difference is, one parties voting base follows politics closely, and the other party does not, which is why republican media is knockin em dead at the ratings every month.

So now you're saying that MSNBC is owned and run by foreigners and Muslim?

Luckily, you're wrong about fux "knocking them dead". A relatively small number of America-hating nutters get their phony news from fux.

Her web site was the ugliest set of colors I have ever seen,
