Ben at Infinite Monkeys points us to the Majority Report Radio blog. Majority Report being the Air America show hosted by Jeneane Garofalo and Sam Seder. There isn't much to read so far, but some of the comments are entertaining:
Man, oh, man...has this been an awesome stretch of days of late! It could very well be the 'perfect storm' -- Clarke, gas prices rising, and Air America Radio!
Now if only there was a terrorist attack on the US, I'd be in hog heaven!
I've dreamed your show for 30 years. I thought I would never live long enough to hear it.
You know the old saying about there being no such thing as a foolish dream?
Props to Sam for speaking out against deoderant. Ann Coulter had a column about how getting rid of deoderant was a French plot and I heard Rush talking about how pointy-headed academics were opposed to it as well. It's a weird but valid liberal cause...people smell like people, and that's okay.
We shall overcome. Well, at least our body odor will.
THANK GOD AND AMERICA SOMEONE HAS FINALLY BROUGHT THE USA SOME STRAIGHT TALK. I SICK OF HEARING OLD WHITE MEN BITCH!!!
C'mon now Hugh's not really that old...
it's SUCH a fucking relief to have normal, thinking people doing talk radio, for a change.
KICK ASS and NEVER STOP until we knock these fucking fascists OUT.
Normal, thinking people like Janeane Garofalo?
...new drinking game: everytime janeane says "uh" take one drink. each time sam says "um"... forget it. nobody could last more than two segments.
The Northern Alliance Radio Show has been on the air for four weeks (four shows). We're far from being professionals (very, very far) yet we have had very few problems with the "uhs" and "ums". Air America is just starting up, and I know it takes some time to work out the kinks, but to have such noticeable stammering and stumbling is not an auspicious way to begin.
One last thing that should go out as like a memo to everyone on the network: Embrace hip-hop. You all want to win this election, you want to beat Bush, you must embrace the hip-hop generation.
And you thought John Kerry looked ridiculous on MTV last night? Clever like a fox he is.
They've got Ann and Laura, we've got Janeane. Game set and match: Liberals!
Coulter and Ingraham ain't my personal favorites, but compared to Garofalo they look like the Barbi Twins.
Super stuff. This is the first time my wife and I have sat and watched the radio since, well, since never.
Why, it reminded me of the fireside chats that FDR used to give. We'd all gather 'round the and watch the Victrola for hours on end...
I especially enjoyed randi rhodes today, it was like listening to my biker aunts & her friends drink beers on the back porch.
Now, THAT is what I call entertainment. Randi Rhodes: the drunk biker broad of talk radio.
But not everyone was pleased:
Randi Rhodes ruled the day. But that's because Randi knows what she's doing--she knows how to kick right-wing ass.
The rest of you people pretty well sucked. Sorry to tell you.
Constructive criticism at its best.
LIstened in, got severely bored after the first ten minunte's, wishing you succes with your new enterprise but am severely doubtfull it will be a succes.
Even intelligent, informed left wingers have their doubts? That can't be a good sign.
