Mike Malloy Fired-Air America becomes all DLC all the time!
I am not taken by suprise here. Mike Malloy was the only host on Air America who spoke truth to power. Today Air America showed it’s true colours by sacking Mike less than thirty minutes before his fill in for Randi Rhodes. Not even a chance to say goodbye to his loyal and passionate audience. This is the most telling factoid. Mike Malloy although a tough personality. Was a team player. He would have exited gracefully. The Pinheads at AAR made sure this would not happen.

WEDNESDAY Aug. 30 2006MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIOThere will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are told its a financial decision.We are as shocked as you are, especially since as recently as last Tuesday we were told we had the go-ahead to announce our return to NY airwaves and that our contract was “on the way.”We are told its a financial decision.More details to follow as we hear them ourselves.
Not to mention his mate Peter Werbe was filling in for Mike this week. He was left holding the bag. And if reports are correct. The phones were all about Mike and “Technical Problems” with the phones in New York all too conveniently made it impossible for the audience to voice their collective shock.
Mike Malloy made me want to do radio. His passion and big heart made you care, and he gave voice to our outrage. He was my inner scream! He was for many.
To Mike Kathy and Molly. Thank You for all your work. And we will hear you on air again.
In the meantime. Mike has given The Head on Radio Network permission to rerun his old IEAMERICA Shows in his AAR Timeslot.
So Truthseekers! Come visit us at the H.O.R.N. Where the conversation is still open!
What’s “DLC” mean?

Hillary and crew.
The first response says it all, doesn’t it?
The people who know what the DLC is could fill a highschool gym.
We could only be so lucky if AAR was run by the Bill Clinton wing of the Democratic party.

Clinton was the best “Republican” President in modern history. Think about that statement.
First, it was Liz Winstead, then Marc Maron (twice), now this! Who’s next - Sam Seder?
September 2nd, 2006 at 9:49 amWhile I am a US citizen (and voter), it’s really not surprising that I wasn’t familiar with the alphabet-soup du jour, considering I’ve lived in Australia since 1996.
