When FAIR runs a story claiming large corporate advertisers are boycotting liberal Air America it seems to me they are being unfair if they don't mention, or bother to research if those advertisers also boycott right wing radio stations and shows. Of course I don't know for sure if they do, but I have a gut feeling that some corporations just want to steer clear of any vaguely controversial media show - it doesn't matter if its Air America, Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern. Perusing the list of 90 something corporations that wont advertise with Air America I see REI Sporting Goods - I somehow doubt if they particularly singled out a "left wing" radio station, I think the same probably applies to Epson, Sony and Microsoft.

There's more to this story, and it really needs to be investigated: At least one company on this list (REI) never requested an Air America blackout. This is a possibly criminal attempt to starve Air America to death.
