Air America

A liberal radio network trying to do on commercial radio what NPR (National Peoplesrepublic Radio) has been doing on the non-commercial end of the FM spectrum since the early 1970's.

corporate media

A term used by people (i.e., communists), who think that all corporations are evil, therefore news outlets which corporations own are untrustworthy. These people are usually so far to the left that they fail to notice that the mainstream media leans to the left. This is especially ironic, since it is this leftist, liberal bias which makes mainstream networks untrustworthy -- not its "corporate ownership."

"Amy Goodman likes to whine a lot about 'corporate media.'"
