I too hear the occational leftward slant. But I would go to them before I went to a Fox News program. Alan – I second your comments on NPR. I too hear the occational leftward slant.

From time-to-time they'll have a news story on that is reported in a way that reveals a pretty clear liberal bias but, for the most part, their news programs are far more in-depth, much better written and vastly more informative than any TV news program. Their regular commentators are to the left, but they very often have on conservative guest commentators. I've even heard the head of the Minutemen Project give an editorial (without comment from NPR). So I tend to think that those who blast NPR as overtly liberal probably never listen. As for Air America, I think even its supporters don't listen. I've never bothered to tune it in and will not mourn the station should it ultimately fail.

BTW Air America is, at least for the time being, still on <a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/neighborhood.jsp?hood=talk_and_variety" rel="nofollow">XM Satellite Radio's talk-channel lineup</a>. Interestingly it's sandwiched in between two conservative talk channels, "America Right" and Fox News Talk.

I hope that Air America stays afloat because it (and the dark side of the moon) are the perfect venues for Al Franken - a kind of quarantine for the stupid.
