Air America Corporation, by the way, was mismanaged financially from the outset, including having some outright crooks handling some of the finances. Most of the popular liberal talk radio hosts - Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, Randi Rhodes, Alan Colmes, Rachel Maddow, Mike Malloy, etc. - either never were with Air America or left Air America several years ago.    Do not equate Air America with "progressive talk radio" in general.
