 The idea of a conservative show that's funny is sort of an oxymoron, isn't it? |

The idea of putting a comedy show on a news channel was, in itself, funny. Someone didn't think this thing through...

The "assets" (shows) were picked up by another broadcasting company (Jones Broadcasting?) but they kept using the "Air America" brand in most markets. Stations changed in some markets - other markets were dropped altogether. |

I watched it for about 2 seconds. Pretty dumb.

It had it's moments ... maybe 2 or 3 funny jokes per episode.
It was funnier than that pr!ck Dennis Miller. He is SUCH a brown-nose of O'Reilly now ... I cannot believe I used to like him so much  |

It was more mean-spirited than anything else....like most of the other programs on that channel.

re: the comedy value of FOX - I occasionally watch O'Rieley for the humor factor.. I find conservatives are funniest when they're not trying to be funny.
