Bilk Radio
As a taxpaying citizen, it is agonizing to see money sucked from my wallet and the wallets of other Americans wasted. It is quite another thing to see taxpayer money distributed to non-profit organizations for the betterment of the poor and downtrodden used to promote and financially sustain liberal thought.
Air America, the liberal-leaning, Bush-bashing, talk radio wannabe head-lined by Al Franken received money earmarked for the elderly and inner-city children. The money was funneled from the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club, whose mission statement omits subsidizing terrible talk radio like Air America.
Interestingly, the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club has a program called “Camp Air America.” Camp Air America is a week-long camping extravaganza for kids 8-12, jam-packed with learning opportunities such as ping-pong, cultural fun, and journalism. And of course, Camp Air America is open to all 8 year-old kids regardless of their sexual orientation!
That money is being funneled from a liberal non-profit to sustain a beleaguered station like Air America is not that surprising. Moreover, the clear attempt to indoctrinate impressionable youths to the garbage and sludge that flows from the mouthpieces of Air America by the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club is very disturbing. Their federal and state funding should be cut. The executives should be investigated. They should be ashamed and disgusted. Taking money from the poor and giving it to the an elitist station like Air America. I guess that made the liberals that run Gloria Wise feel better than helping impoverished kids.
How much more can Air America take (besides the bad ratings, mediocre performance, and lack of ad revenue?)
