1. could it be because he is anti-Likud?

He is more of a humanist with no real stake in the i/p conflict and thus he recognizes injustices against the side with less resources.

If you look at AA, many of the hosts such as Franken and Rhodes make little slurring wisecracks against Palestinians.

I have NEVER hear anything resembling a sympathetic view to the plight of the Palestinians on AA.

just a hunch...

Peter Werbe could also be counted in that same boat.

2. Who said they won't?
How do know that AAR won't hire Malloy? Maybe Malloy is unwilling to work for AAR.

3. No, Malloy wants to be in the lineup
He's surprised that he was never invited. I don't know what's going on, but it's Air America, not Malloy, who's demurring.

4. true
all we know for certain is that Malloy had a huge following until his employing radio network went under, then when another one started with apparently similar views, at least on Bush, he sin;t working for them.

We also know he has sent his demo out in searchof any job. I doubt he does not want to work for AA however. I think he has even said that he has applied and they haven't contacted him.

Can anyone confirm this?

5. Malloy said so himself
on his website.
He doesn't know why AA has not contacted him.
