Left-leaning new media has hit turbulence at the marketplace, newly released stats show.

A book hyped as documenting a progressive revolution of "blogs" and political power, DAILY KOS 'CRASHING THE GATE,' has sold only 3,630 copies since its release last month, according to NIELSEN's BOOKSCAN.

Meanwhile, the just released radio Winter Book [Jan-Mar] from ARBITRON shows AIR AMERICA in New York City losing more than a third of its audience -- in the past year!

Among all listeners 12+, it was a race to the bottom for AIR AMERICA and WLIB as mid-days went from a 1.6 share during winter 2005 to a 1.0 share winter 2006.

During PM drive, host Randi Rhodes plunged to 27,900 listeners every quarter hour, finishing 25th place in her time slot, down from 49,000 listeners every quarter hour last year.
This is despite millions of dollars being pumped into Air American from private funds. If you can't make it in such a Blue state as NY, where can you make it. I wonder if Rush or Hannity is next....nawww...they have MILLIONS of listeners. So the question is burning...WHY DOESNT ANYONE WANT TO LISTEN TO LIBERAL TALK RADIO???? (ok I exaggerated..a whopping 27,900 people listen to it...ugh)
