The only thing that surprises me about this report is that Air America is still broadcasting.
Randi Rhodes faked a mugging - no surprise there.
Blame it on the "right wing hate machine" - of course.
OK, actually admitting it wasn't true seems a bit out of character, as well. But, really, Air America is still around?!?!?

What was really sad was to see how quickly some of the web bought the idea hook, line, and sinker without a moment of intelligent thought. Shows you their prejudices and how deep they go really.

I agree, it is amazing how easily led the media are when a story fits their preconceived ideas (Dan Rather ring a bell?) You just have to imagine that eventually, after getting repeatedly bitten on the a$$ by these stories, they will learn their lesson. Guess not.
