Air America launches new and improved website

You've heard the rumors. The time has come. Today marks the launch of Air America's new web site--the change you want to see, the place to go for the latest news and opinion on the issues that matter most to you.

We're pushing for the issues that matter most to Americans today, and we need you to help. The tide has turned. Health care, the climate bill, education, energy--America is on the brink of a new solution-oriented epoch. It's a group effort. Click around. Interact with our hosts and editors. Tell us what change means to you. Let us know what you're thinking about. Get involved as a member of the Air America community. Sound off. Act up. This is your site. Own it.

Air America’s mission remains unchanged, but now you will find the most up-to-date news, a progressive take on issues that matter to you—war policy, social equality, education, the economy, energy and the environment—alongside insightful commentary, smart bombs of political theater, and the context you need to form and inform your take on the world of politics and beyond.

And of course there’s the same great programming from Air America’s on-air talent including Rachel Maddow, Ron Reagan, Jack Rice, Richard Greene and Ana Marie Cox, as well as other well-known hosts like Randi Rhodes featured on WZAA in Washington DC.

Visit AirAmerica.com and poke around its new digs.

      I thought this site was devoted to conservative misinformation not promotion of a broadcast company. Guess its ok to have a progressive radio network.

      -- a progressive take on issues -- airamerica

      I'd bet they have a better chance of spreading their liberal message via a web site than their juggernaut radio empire...with the tiny list of 50 stations.

      And it will be a whole lot cheaper.

        For someone who acknowledges the speciousness of popularity arguments when pressed, you sure talk about popularity an awful lot.

        You might as well own it: you think Fox News's audience demonstrates its greatness.

        Air America, of course, has garbage stations because the good ones are networked, and the networks are big business, and big business doesn't like liberals.

            Because acting is an art form, and conservatives in general have little passion for art.

      Plagued by money troubles from the get go. Franken left for politics. Randi moved on..and on. Hartmann moved on. Ed Schultz was never a part of it.

      This news of a new website kind of feels like the media campaign for Jurassic Park III.
