Right-wing blackout of Air America

MultiCultural's claims were suspicious from the start. The owner, Arthur Liu, was quoted as saying that Air America bounced some checks, but according to Air America, everything was paid on time.

MultiCultural not only pulled Air America off the radio -- they changed the locks on the station office.

It turns out there's more to MultiCultural than meets the eye. The CEO Arthur Liu, a Republican supporter, retained the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher -- a firm that lists Ken Starr and Ted Olsen as its alumni.

The Republican Attack Machine and Air America

The Republican Attack Machine(RAM) is masterful in it's delivery of responses to Democratic statements. They spin, they omit, they create controversies out of molehills, and they stop at nothing to vilify and attack us at every turn. They are unified in their contempt for truth, they are unified in molding the media to fit their needs, they are unified in their desire to stifle all seeds of dissent. They are the Picassos of Spin. Considering how much controversy has been dogging them at every turn, one has to admire their zeal and skill. Think about it. We manage to be outraged by something new EVERY SINGLE DAY. They have done so many outrageous things, that there is a never ending river of scandal pouring into the streets, yet much of it is ignored or never picked up. Think about all the horrible things they have done. They come at such a rapid pace, we don't have time to focus one to it's proper size. The river of lies pour over us so fast that we barely have time to blink until the next one pops up. (FYI, today's scandal is that Bush had Rummy and Cheney tell Saudi Arabia we were going to war before we told our own Secretary of State.) Yet they manage to turn Jamie Gorelick into a pariah for a weak example of conflict of interest from 1995 on the 911 commission. Now she receives death threats. They RAM it down our throats at every turn.

Now we have a new reliable teammate on the airwaves, Air America Radio as well as their blogs, The O' Franken Factor and The Majority Report. RAM has already started their effort to disparage and shut Air America down, by accusing them of bouncing checks via Drudge and Fox. The false claims made it around the networks in quick fashion. I think it's time for the blogosphere to protect their new brother.
