The liberal MSM is a myth created by the Republican party. Any truly liberal national media, a counter-balance to Fox, is not allowed to exist.

Seems to me the only reason a company would want to spend their advertising money would be to generate business in their stores. That being the case, aren't they hurting themselves as much as they hurt Air America by missing exposure to the handful of Air Am listeners?

Wal*Mart stockholders might have a reason to complain that the company is missing sales to an audience merely to satisfy management's political outlook.

Yep, Wal Mart will curry to the commies who run totalitarian China but won't curry to American democratic capitalists. Why does WM hate America?

How many times do I have to tell you --- save your hometown, boycott Walsmart.

Kind of like the old saying:

Money talks, Air Amer . . ., I mean, B*** S*** walks!

Sorry, Louie, it doesn't apply to my hometown. Business district has changed but has grown by leaps and bounds because of WM. Had a long time furniture store owner tell me his business really picked up when WM came in.....due to all the people that was brought in from surrounding areas.

Really the most interesting thing about this post is we are starting to see why Max Brantley hates any politician who accepts a political donation from the states largest emplyer and the largest economic force in the world (if Wal-Mart was a nation it would have the 12th largest economy on Earth).

Apparently there is some sort of "personal experience" that left ol' Max feeling a little lesser than the God he considers himself - c'mon Brantley - tell us the story!

Max has lost all chances of being a WM greeter when he hangs it up. WM is about the only company that hires old folks. Two of our local greeters are 78 and 74 years old. Don't know about the others.

If WalMart were a nation we'd have to invade it and eliminate the threat.

Make no mistake, if Wal-Mart could make a profit by overthrowing the government, or killing every endangered species on earth, or turbocharging global warming, they do it.

Yeah, Wal-Mart is so mean. I mean, yeah, like, you know. Who cares if nobody listens Air America. Wal-Mart should help Air America stay in business by buying air time. Who cares if nobody will hear the advertisements. And who cares that Air America is openly hostile to Wal-Mart.

Although Wal-Mart has a bad track record in my book, I still think that Anonymous has hit the main point, at least in regards to Sam's business empire. On the Air America web page is an a mini-poster about Always Higher Prices at Wal-Mart.
Seems to me that if you're going to smack a business upside the face, you shouldn't be too surprised if they quit giving you money. It goes with the territory, you know.

"Among the advertisers listed are Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, Federal Express, General Electric, McDonald's, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and the U.S. Navy."

When Guilani is selected President, or McCain, and that great highway between Canada-US-Mexico is completed, just kiss your voting rights goodbye. Who is behind this NoAm Contient State? The same ones who pushed NAFTA, U.S. Megacorps cause they will be the ones who make ALL of the political choices instead of just most of them as it is today. You either tow their line or as Max put, you're out.
Your water supply will no longer belong to your local government and your fuel taxes will be administered by a corporate governing board. Commissions will replace legislative bodies and no worry Keyosay, or annoymouse, there will be no Air America nor any other voice of dissent, left or right.

Yes, you reap what you sow. It's still bothersome, though, to think that "a roster of high-powered national advertisers" have joined together to help silence the only liberal talk radio network. But then, it's the American way.

Cato, for some reason, your town just got lucky.
WalMart has crushed small businesses all across the country.
Brad Gitz's column Sunday showed me his lack of thought on important issues when he said "If you don't believe in WalMart, don't work or shop there."
Somehow, we need to get a handle on WalMart and rein them in. When they give 90% of their campaign funds to Republicans, that tells me something.

Don't weep for Air America, yet. It's nowhere near dying. You doubt your own strength and that is the worst of it. Don't let the conservatives cow you. There are plenty of enterprises and people who can keep Air America and other voices of dissent alive and well.
In a sense, Wal-Mart, et al, have tainted money. Why do them the favor of putting their advertising out for them.

Think smarter, work harder, and dig deeper for those extra dollars needed to continue the good fight.

If Air America goes, maybe some kind neighboring government (are there any?) will start a Radio Free America.

I guess you never heard of PBS. If a neighboring country did, no one would listen to that either.

Blueridge, seems to me we need to be more concerned with "Somehow, we need to get a handle on " Exxon and its clones more than we do WalMart.
