OK, I'm new to Air America and internet radio.
I've never really gone in for it before - why, I don't know.

But today for some reason I clicked on the "LISTEN LIVE" link and have listened ever since. I started with Springer, I went through Rhodes, I'm now listening to the Majority Report dissecting W's conference.

It's brilliant. But why are there so many ads and so much filler? And why can't the rest of the American media be like this?

1. They've got to pay their bills
hence all the crappy commercials. NPR it ain't!

2. That explains the ads, but there seems to be a lot of filler
Just useless idents and repeats ... surely they could fill that time.

Boy, this conference is a car crash.

And boy I value the UK's impartial BBC.

3. Welcome to AAR.
I've been addicted to them over the internet since day 1. Stick around, you'll love them!

4. I do love them!
I loved Springer, and the Majority Report is brilliant!

On the UK airwaves there's no polarisation, so there's nothing like AAR. Also, there's nothing like Limbaugh. I like it that way; but I like AAR.
