Scam America

Not only is this piece another scathing review of Air America FrankenNet, we got into something potentially much deeper.

It's something that might tend tend to confirm something I got from Captain Ed's comments the other day.

During a day of torture by radio, I heard ads for Hewlett-Packard, Greyhound and, especially, General Motors. I asked GM why it appeared in such shows.
Ryndee Carney, GM's manager of marketing communications, said the ads were wrongly picked up from an earlier deal with WLIB. She said the station was ordered to "cease and desist" Tuesday, and added: "GM will not advertise on any Air America affiliates."

I'm going to have to look into this.

If you work for HP (and you're already on my schvitz-list for giving money to Sarah Brady in the nineties) or Greyhound, or any of the companies I hear on Franken when I flip on the radio in a few minutes, expect a phone call shortly.

And if FrankenNet is running spots that they're not supposed to be - well, wouldn't that be fascinating?
