Randi Rhodes out at Air America

Randi Rhodes out at Air America

According to John Scott, PD of Clear Channel talk KKGN/San Francisco, suspended talker Randi Rhodes and Air America network have parted company as of Wednesday (April 9). In a posting on the station Web site Scott says that on Monday (April 14), “it will be our pleasure to announce the return of Randi Rhodes to the Green 960 family.”

Randi Rhodes was Air America’s biggest name and smartest talent. I imagine now that she’s no longer tethered to the disappointing attempt at a liberal radio network, she’s just going to get bigger. The way Air America dropped Rhodes when the YouTube video of her remarks about Clinton and Ferraro got out was ridiculous. Air America is using Rhodes’ remarks as an excuse to dump her contract, while pretending to be offended by her ultimately tame (particularly when compared to right-wing talk radio) remarks.
