Arresting developments.

Whoops.

Ship of fools.

“Violence fantasies.”

Dead air.

Err America.

Raining on the tinfoil parade.

It’s up to Brian Maloney, once again, to get to the bottom of the story:
Since Air America Radio’s bankruptcy bailout by wealthy Manhattan real estate mogul Stephen L Green was announced on February 7 (and finalized yesterday), the public has been led to believe the network’s assets had fetched $4.25 million.
But the news media, led [...]

Brian Maloney looks at the fool taking over Air America–and Al Franken officially jumps ship.

KSFO, San Francisco’s conservative talk-radio station, is being hounded by left-wing bloggers. Now, most of what KSFO does is just your regular conservative talk radio, with Dr. Laura and Rush Limbaugh. A lot of my friends in earshot of their station consider it an island of sanity, and most of their shows are [...]

It’s official. “Nifong” is now a verb. The journey from mere person to Internet verb is hardly ever a proud one (see to Frisch, to Latham, to Dowdify, to Fisk), and Durham D.A. Mike Nifong’s trip has been a doozy.
But he’s not the only one who has something to answer for in the Duke lacrosse [...]

Brian Maloney reports Al Franken has been cancelled in San Francisco and may be on his way out at failing, flailing Air America.

Bush Derangement Syndrome fizzles in movie theaters:
The provocative film “Death of a President,” which imagines the assassination of George W. Bush, bombed at the North American box office with a meager $282,000 grossed from 143 theaters in its first weekend.
The pseudo-documentary played at 91 U.S. theaters and 52 Canadian cinemas during its first three days [...]

Brian Maloney smells another shell game coming on. Me, too:
How is a company that was registered just a few days ago already in a position to bail out the newly- bankrupt Air America Radio network? From the whirlwind of news developments on this front yesterday, that one jumped right off the page.
Why? For one thing, [...]

If you read Brian Maloney’s extensive report yesterday on the failed Air America takeover deal with shady nutball Sheldon Drobny, the brief AP dispatch this morning on the liberal network’s filing for bankruptcy will be no surprise:
Air America Radio, a liberal talk and news radio network, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a [...]

My friend and frequent investigative partner Brian Maloney at The Radio Equalizer has an exclusive report on how shady couple Sheldon and Anita Drobny are riding to Air America’s rescue:
Poised to announce their takeover imminently, the Drobnys are said to be acquiring the long- suffering operation for mere pennies on the dollar, the Radio Equalizer [...]

Brian Maloney has the lowdown on flailing lib radio network Air America’s legal and financial troubles at The Radio Equalizer. The New York State Attorney General’s office has now transferred the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club case involving Air America to its criminal prosecutions bureau. You won’t believe who finally covered the story. Yup, [...]

The poor Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club is still waiting for Air America to pay it back.
Details are buried at the bottom of the New York Sun’s story following up on liberal blog Think Progress’s claim that Air America will soon file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy:
Last year, Air America was involved in a scandal [...]

So, Air America leaks word of its bankruptcy to liberal blog Think Progress in an attempt to avoid complete humiliation by all those evil right-wingers who were spreading such vicious rumors about its financial chaos.
May I just say: Bwahahahahahaha.
First question: Will the New York Times fiiiiinally get [...]

My frequent investigative blog partner and Hot Air affiliate Brian Maloney of The Radio Equalizer reported the news several weeks ago. Now, MediaWeek is trailing with confirmation: liberal talk network Air America is losing its flagship station, WLIB, in New York City, on Aug. 31:
Air America Radio will lose its New York flagship station, WLIB-AM, [...]

Two correspondents who attended the New York anti-immigration enforcement demonstration have sent reports.
MacLachlan snapped photos posted over at his Flickr page and sends these comments:

#1,28 - Crying out, “Bandidos para todos los paises” This is the chief reason for the number of flags at the protest
#3 - School Bus; don’t know if it was picking [...]

Brian Maloney scoops the rest of the MSM again with an exclusive scoop on the departure of Air America CEO Danny Goldberg. Excerpt:
The changes take effect Friday, April 7, according to an internal source. Goldberg, a former record label executive overseeing rap, hip hop and pop acts, joined the ailing network in early 2005. He’s [...]

The New York Post’s John Mainelli follows up on intrepid Brian Maloney’s investigative blog exclusive from last week on the impending loss of left-wing radio network Air America’s New York flagship station:
Losing its New York outlet would be a serious blow to the fledgling liberal radio network. “Radio Equalizer” blogger Brian Maloney - who blew [...]

Brian Maloney, once again beating the pants off the New York big media, has the scoop at The Radio Equalizer. Excerpt:
While Air America Radio’s loss of two affiliates in Phoenix and Missoula, Montana is generating news this week, the company itself probably hasn’t been able to give either city a second thought.
Why? In a development [...]

Brian Maloney has an exclusive report on a reported $8 million George Soros bailout of Air America.
Mark April 22 on your calendar. It’s the date of the first annual Milblogger conference in Washington DC. The best and brightest of the blogosphere will be there. Austin Bay will emcee.
Speaking of milbloggers, they are disgusted with Cindy [...]

Johnny Weir, the American ice skater with a crush on the old Soviet empire, failed to medal at the Olympics.
On the bright side, it looks like he’s got a promising future as an Air America radio host…or Cindy Sheehan’s warm-up act.

She. Is. Mad.
I think you will get a kick out of my latest, Unhinged-themed column: “Who are you calling angry?”
Intro:
Janeane Garofalo, left-wing actress-turned-Air America radio host, is a miserable woman. Last week before the holidays, she turned up on cable TV. No, not to count her blessings but to rant against conservative journalist Bob [...]
