Yep.
I do have a beef with people who agree to something, then turn around and immediately "break their own rules." This is why, when I came across the blurb on the Drudge Report, I felt compelled to post it, since USM Alum obviously was going to comply with the "rule" you so readily agreed to, then so readily broke by "correcting" his/her "facts."
Rules???? I do what I want, thank you very much, including reserving the right to change my mind if I feel like it! Obviously, you have much more rigid view of life than I do.
FYI, I don't see how posting facts to illuminate other posts breaks any "rules" that you saw in my previous posts.
XM Satelite, even though it is a subscriber service like HBO, will have to consider the same issue. Why should XM carry a program that is not popular vs. carrying one that is?
Exactly. Let the people speak (that's all of the people!).
I think the following excerpt from Austin Eagle's post sums it up: (snipped)
As much as I respect AE (and he knows that I do), this is just one man's opinion. Opinions are free and everyone can have one.
As I said above, I believe that the free expression of ideas is one of the cornerstones of our society. Even if I don't necessarily agree with what they may have to say, I think that it would be sad to see Air America go down.
And finally, something we can agree on! This is my point exactly.
We're really on the same page, More Facts. We both agree on the Free Market of the airwaves, and we both agree that people can have their own opinions. Now, can we just get back to the important issues at hand here...getting SFT out of the Dome and planning that BIG party w/Kinky Friedman as the musical guest?

Does it really matter who is "winning" in terms of ratings? I believe it's good that there is an alternative to the drivel of Rush & Co. Extreme radical conservatives have had a stranglehold on the airwaves long enough. PS--XM is now up to over 2 million subscribers. "
Thought folks on this thread might want to know that:
"The Majority Report," the nightly Air America show co-hosted by actress-comedian Janeane Garofalo, was the top-rated AM radio program in New York during the 8-to-11 p.m. time slot.
