Salon, ThinkProgress, Vox and other Progressive media outlets struggle to stay out of bankruptcy despite the growing popularity of socialism in the United States. Is this proof that free enterprise is a failed economic model when a good-hearted Progressive can’t make a profit trying to destroy capitalism?

If only we liked peas. But of course we do like peas.
Amen brothers! If only this feedback mechanism worked for our government. Oh wait . . .
They are their own worst enemies. They can’t seem to win for losing. Like Bill said…this stuff just writes itself.
Progressivism is the Lucy Van Pelt of politics. She nags you to do things your way and always pulls the football away at the last moment.
“Air America”? Sure you don’t mean “Error America”?
Bill: Mobius strip of fig leaves? I must mass consume copious quantities of martini’s to erase the images of the odious denizens of Air America!
So you’re saying thank you to Bill to give you a reason to consume copious quantities of martini’s, right?
I seriously doubt that liberals and progressives are even aware of their own inconsistencies. To suggest these take they take these cause-and-effect actions deliberately gives them far too much credit.
Thanks again, not just for BEING some of the best commentary on the internet, but also for your vision and irrefutable integrity.
My old-world grandfather survived the holocaust and financially rebuilt himself from nothing. And he did so with great integrity. As a kid when I asked him how he reinvented himself, he calmly replied “There is nothing as formidable as a man who knows what he’s doing.”
So the Thanks here is for your earning your roles (as defenders of individual freedom, the American Constitution, and free markets), and for finding an entertaining way to represent those things with pride, humility, and integrity.
Well said, Jon.
Why should I listen to Air American when there’s NPR? NPR which I’ve been listening to for decades so it’s pretty much a habit to turn on NPR. NPR which, unlike Air America, doesn’t have to worry about making profit, coving payroll or going outta business.
That’s the main reason I think Air America failed.
Superb….and funny, too. Well done, gents.
Could it be that they are trying to make a profit preaching to people how everything should be free? People who want everything to be free don’t seem to desire being the ones to pay for it!
Maybe this is just my simplistic observation of a complicated issue.
