It does seem like Air America was created by people who didn't realize that broadcasting is actually an artform, and having strong political beliefs is not the only qualification for holding up 3-4 hours of airtime. Still, they do have a couple of talented radio personalities who have been working at the format for 15-20 years. Mainly Rhandi Rhodes and Mike Malloy. Like them or not, their radio presence is commanding and they know what they're doing. The interaction they have with their callers reflects this.
The network's most promoted hosts are total amatures - Al Franken is slowly learning the ropes, but Janeane Garofalo does not belong behind the mic, period. Theres just nothing appealing or worthwhile about her Majority Report program. It's like being at a green party rally on a shitty college campus.
