At one of our recent meetings I mentioned the memo of advertisers that refused to advertise on progressive talk radio.  The memo is attached.  The memo went out to radio stations that used ABC Network news and told them who refused to advertise on Air America affiliates and that they should "black out" and commercials for these advertisers during the news broadcast.  This was back when Air America and KLSD had only been on the air a few months.

 

Interesting, I think, that both Microsoft and GE are on the list.  They are the co-owners of MSNBC and later discovered that there was a market for progressive "news" and that profit trumps political philosophy.

 

I'm off to San Francisco in a couple hours.  See you later,
