A few days ago, the liberal radio network, AirAmerica ended all programming and announced that it would soon be filing for chapter 7. 

Before I continue, I think a little background info might be noteworthy.

You see, back when I wrote America's Financial Apocalypse, President Bush was the current puppet in the White House. So I knew that AirAmerica would be the best chance I'd have to warn people about the upcoming depression, expected to commence with the real estate meltdown.

So back in January 2007, I contacted a man by the name of Thom Hartmann. 

Perhaps you have heard of him. He's a liberal radio talk show host who was at the time being aired through Air America.

Thom is one of the biggest liberal radio talk show hosts in America, if not the biggest.

Of course, liberals don't really have much of a presence on radio air waves compared to the neo-cons like Rush and his lackeys.

As you know, the liberals have a bigger presence through the televised programing content.

To make a long story short, I spoke with Thom's wife who also served (at that time) as his producer.

Apparently, neither Thom nor his wife had any interest in allowing me to warn his listeners about the coming depression. For the record, Thom received my book in early 2007.

Perhaps Thom did not want his newly published book to be overshadowed since his book was about CEO compensation - something that certainly doesn't warrant an entire book. In fact, I'm willing to bet that I covered the topic at least as well as Thom's entire book in the few pages that I devoted to it in AFA. 

I don't know to what extent his desire to promote his own book came at the expense of airing me, but I do know that he was pushing his book hard. It was almost like a business venture. Perhaps for Thom, it was.

Consider for instance that, unlike my own efforts to mention my books (to the small handful of people who visit this site), Thom has millions of listeners. If I had an audience that large, I'd mention my book a few times and be done with it. In fact, if I had an audience that size, I would probably give the book away.

Moreover, if I had an audience that size, I could justify hiring a professional writer to help me out (which, like most other books that go through large publishing houses, I'm sure Thom does).

Well, nearly two years passed. And as the election neared, I contacted Thom's staff again.

This time they were very receptive as you might imagine, given all that had happened. At the time, the financial system was collapsing and panic had already set in.

Why would he be interested in interviewing me now? After all, most of the devastation had occured so my message would not be as valuable.

By that time, Thom's book promotions were long gone. But there was something very significant that had happened since I had first contacted him nearly two years earlier.

Obama was the democratic candidate for president.

I suppose I was going to be the next guy to link the catastrophe to Bush and build momentum for Obama.

Thom had me on for about 15 minutes, but I felt he was basically going through the motions just so he could go on record that he had not banned me.

And of course, I was someone who could make Bush look bad.

It would appear that Thom does not want anyone to upstage him, so he keeps selected interviews short. This is not just based on my own encounter, but I have observed this many times when he interviews individuals who are experts in areas where he does not excel.

In contrast, I have noticed that when he interviews morons, he keeps them on for quite a long time.

Is this a mere coincidence?  Perhaps it is conjecture on my part.

Anyway, this does not really matter.

What matters is this. Similar to all other one-sided talking heads, Thom is a diehard democratic and cannot see any weaknesses in Obama. He is no different than the neo-cons, who remain religiously devoted to their republican comrades.

Shortly after the election, I recall seeing how proud he was to display pictures from the presidential inauguration (I'm trying to find these pics). There he stood in his tuxdeo with his smile. It was a bit sickening to be honest because it demonstrated that he was caught up in the Hollywood production and illusion of Obama, just as millions of others were.

Well, I happened to catch his show a couple of months into 2009. I wanted to warn listeners of the disaster ahead. This time, I called in as a guest, not as a scheduled interviewee. But Thom knew it was me because I told the producer my name and reminded him that I had been on the show a couple of months earlier.

I laid down my case for a depression and discussed how this was obvious if you looked at the changes America had faced over the decades.

But Thom was not willing to let me finish my analysis. He kept interupting me.

What really made me lose any respect I had for him was when he tried to use deceitful tactics to distract from my main points, while making statements in opposition to my views in order to remain loyal to democrats, failing to realize that both parties are essentially the same.

Of course he behaved with such disrespect towards me because he did not want anyone to discuss how bad the economy would get now that Obama was in office.

He was all ears about the economy when Bush was in office. But now, that was a no-no.

As far as Thom was concerned, Obama's "superstar" staff of advisers - Summers, Geithner and the rest of the criminals - were an excellent choice.

I let him have his way out of professional courtesy. But I emailed him later and really let him have it. I reminded him who the professional broadcaster was and who the professional investor was.

I'll post my email (if I can find it) as an update in this article, so you might want to check back in a few days.

Well, I don't know why, but shortly thereafter, Thom left AirAmerica, apparently over a contract dispute.

This turned out to be a stroke of good luck for Hartmann since he was able to leave (apparently) on his own accord, as opposed to a rushed exodus if he had stayed with the now defunct AirAmerica.

The point I want to make is this.

NEVER EVER take anyone seriously who sticks their political loyalties when they should be open-minded and critical of weaknesses and wrong-doings, because that means they either have agendas, or else they are ignorant.

Many political commentators are ignorant, while protecting their agendas.

In all fairness, Thom is a fairly intelligent man - much more intelligent than almost every neo-con radio host.

On the other hand, he is naive when it comes to understanding who really runs America.

He is also quite misinformed about Obama's healthcare reform.

Now I know Thom realizes that ObamaCare is inadequate and potentially dangerous for Americans. But due to his political loyalties, he is willing to sell out because his show maintains advocacy for the left, regardless how weak their policies may be.

That's what happens when you become fixated on someone or something for whatever reason, be it due to financial or emotional ties. You turn off your ability to think critically. Once that happens, you have become enslaved.

Thom's unconditional loyalty to Obama and every other democrat demonstrates that he has agenads. Therefore, Thom is an extremist. That is how he is able to preserve his agendas. Being an extremist enables one to discount controversies which threaten to derail the simpleton mindset that posseses these individuals.

Therefore, in my opinion, Hartmann offers no more value in regards to political commentary than the financial extremists offer with regards to investments and economics - Roubini, Faber, Schiff, and the rest of the doomer clowns whose only purpose is to sell you gold.

Rather than selling you gold, Thom's intent is to sell you the idea that democrats are the solution to America's problems, when in fact, as I have discussed on many occassions, both parties are the same when it comes to the issues that matter the most to Americans.

So Thom is a salesman, just like the financial doomers. He just has a different product he is selling. 

Although he did interview me, as I mentioned, he waited nearly two years AFTER most of the devastation had occured and only AFTER I contacted him again, just before the election.

Therefore, I consider Thom in the long list of media personalities that have banned me.

As you might imagine, Thom was unwilling to interview me once Obama took office, knowing that I had no political loyalty.

My only loyalty is to the people. As such, I would have discussed the realities about the economy, which certainly would not bode well for Thom's cheerleading sessions.

Thom knew this. That is precisely why he had no further use for me once his man, Obama won the election.

Now if I had a "name" Thom would have surely been interested in interviewing me regardless how much I smeared Obama. You see, this is the way everyone in the media works.

The bigger the audience you can attract, the more a host or program is willing to let you deviate from their agendas because your ability to attract a large audience compensates for any departures from the program's agenda.

Why might this be? 

Because at the end of the day, it's all about money. A bigger audience means more money can be charged to advertisers.

Before I continue with AirAmerica, I encourage you to call into Thom's show and ask him about everything I have discussed. 

Ask him why he was not interested in having me on BEFORE the collapse.

Ask him why has wasn't interested in having me on AFTER Obama took office.

Finally, let him know that I welcome him to my site so he can learn what is going on in the economy, but only if he has the ability to stomach the truth. 

CALL THE THOM HARTMANN PROGRAM: 1-866-987-THOM (8466). http://www.thomhartmann.com/

Over the past 3 years, I contacted dozens of producers and hosts on AirAmerica, with no response.

So, all I have to say to AirAmerica is **** YOU.

I'M LAUGHING MY *** OFF AT YOU IDIOTS. 

YOU IDIOTS DESERVE THE GRAVES YOU DUG FOR YOUSELVES.

IF YOU PIECES OF **** HAD ALLOWED ME TO WARN THE PEOPLE OF THE DISASTER...

...IF YOU PINHEADS WOULD HAVE DISCUSSED HOW OBAMA IS DESTROYING AMERICA JUST AS YOU DISCUSSED HOW BUSH DID...

...YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS RIGHT NOW.

AIRAMERICA AND EVERYONE AFFILIATED WITH THEM, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU JUST GOT ***-****** BY THE PEOPLE.

PEOPLE ARE SICK OF THE LIES, CENSORSHIP AND AGENDAS.

YOU FAIL.

GOODBYE LOSERS.

HOPEFULLY, THERE WILL BE MANY MORE MEDIA BANKRUPCTIES TO COME. THE THOUGHT OF THEM MAKES ME SEXUALLY EXCITED.

There was another man I contacted during that time. 

In fact, he was the first person I contacted. I'll discuss who he is and what happened later.

[In the future you are going to learn about all of the real estate associations, investor associations, etc. I contacted and offered to speak FOR FREE, and received no interest. Why? Because they don't care about YOU. They only care to extract money from you. They are ALL out to exploit you, from the media establishment and Wall Street, to the financial bloggers. If I could find a single exception, I would proudly let you know. Due to the entire experience, I can tell you that never again will I ever speak for free. I am sick to my stomach, having devoted so much of my time, while asking for nothing in return, only to help people, and have these efforts largely wasted due to being ignored and censored because I am honest and can actually deliver value. Meanwhile, snake oil salesmen have been embraced by the media because they aren't credible, so they preserve the agendas of the media, which of course answers to Wall Street. What's worse, these people have made millons of dollars for adding no value, while they are saluted by the brainless idiots in America who have been fooled. Another stock market scam will happen down the road and most will have no idea it's coming. You will be exposed to the same crap as before because you ultimately decide who the media airs. Never forget that.]
