randi acknowledges the inexperience of the hosts on air america, which she compares to the heads of fema. big difference--aside from, you know, responsibility--is that air america brought in the likes of herself and mike malloy, who have experience, unlike fema, filled w/ arabian horse lawyers and wedding planners, allegedly, which is bad for disaster management, but perfect for the arabian wedding that katie wants!

"it's like radio! i had to work locally before i got to work nationally! and it took me twenty-freakin-years to do it!" she admits bitterness at the non-radio folks, but, as she says, "radio is radio, this is your safety and security!"

interesting, though, that we get some air america backstage drama ...

my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour.

links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias:

the fair & balanced:
all things considered
countdown w/ keith olbermann
the daily show w/ jon stewart
dayside w/ linda vester
factcheck.org
hannity & colmes
hardball w/ chris matthews
the newshour w/ jim lehrer
nightline w/ ted koppel
the o'reilly factor

the left:
the al franken show
the majority report w/ sam seder & janeane garofalo
media matters
the randi rhodes show
springer on the radio

the right:
media research center
the rush limbaugh show
the savage nation w/ michael savage
scarborough country w/ joe scarborough
the sean hannity show
the situation w/ tucker carlson

*that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.
