Air America blacklist

[bobquasit]

Here's a link to a memo listing a number of major companies that instructed the ABC radio network not to air their advertising during any Air America program on their network.

Hewlett Packard was at the top of the list, so I plan to write to their CEO to tell him that I'll never buy an HP product ever again. And I'll do the same for as many other of the companies on that list as possible.

Hey, if they can blacklist, so can I.

I am dense. What is Air America?

Air America Radio (http://www.airamerica.com/) is an attempt by some big-money liberal/progressive people to start a liberal talk radio network. Al Franken is their most famous personality; Jean Garafalo is another. They declared bankruptcy last month, but have announced that they will continue to stay on the air.

You can listen to them over the web, and they have a couple of AM stations in the Boston area. I don't listen to them often; most of their shows aren't that interesting or funny, unfortunately.
