What the fuck are the satellite sisters?

I just heard that Air America is taking the Mike Malloy show off of WLIB, the flagship station in New York. This doesn't really affect me since I don't live in New York and don't listen live anyway, but what the hell is going on at Air America?

First they get rid of one of their best shows, Unfiltered, and replace it with the softball right-of-center musings of Jerry Springer. I didn't really like the Springer show, but then they even took Jerry off the air and replaced it with nothing.

The Al Franken show has gone to shit ever since he dropped his co-host Rachel Maddow. What was once a hard-hitting energic political powerhouse is sounding more and more like just another morning-drive talkshow.

The Randi Rhodes show is offset by 3 hours so that we can listen to Ed Shultz, who's a good radio host but isn't part of Air America. I don't know what the hell that is all about. Every other radio show is live except for Randi Rhodes, and Randi is one of the only show hosts that actually had prior radio experience.

And now Air America has worked their suicide magic again by replacing Mike Malloy, my favorite show, with the fucking Satellite Sisters, which seems to be some kind of rightwing happytalk show. Here's an excert from their lame website:

Did you know that scientific research suggests that chuckling can boost the body's immune system and decrease stress hormones? That’s good to know because laughing is one of our favorite things to do!



Yes, uhh um, lets hear it for laughter. Yah. Somehow I don't think their show is worthy of being broadcast to millions of people who are hungry for truth and compelling progressive political talk. It seems like more of the same watered down crap that we already hear on every single radio station. What the hell is Air America thinking??
