Launching of Air America

Drudge reports HBO is set to air a behind the scenes look at the launching of liberal radio network AIR AMERICA. The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a director's cut of LEFT OF THE DIAL, a grossly entertaining docu-drama of life on the other side of the AIR AMERICA microphone. The doubts. The lies. The bounced checks. The heartbreak. The viewer is taken upclose to witness the ugly business of media ambition. The main character, Evan Cohen, founding chairman and main investor, is depicted as a complete fraud. The documentary shows Cohen arriving in the middle of night at AIR AMERICA offices to sign over the company and disappear again, but not before lying about how many ads have been sold and how much money is the bank [zero]. Dead Air. It shows how AIR AMERICA executives lied and lied again about not bouncing checks to their Chicago and Los Angeles affiliate owners. [The network was quickly thrown off the stations.]

Information on the program is available at HBO

It will first air on 3/31. The complete schedule is here


Paul @Wizbang blogs Note to self, some time before now and March 31 when it airs, call Direct TV and order HBO, you don't want to miss this one.
