Air America is bankrupt for a reason: American’s won’t buy its liberal lies and slander. A shining example of Air America’s penchant for exaggeration, outright lies, and potential libel comes from their late night host Jon Elliott.

Elliott is the self-described, “most dangerous liberal in America” and now we know why. After unsubstaniated reports that another Air America host, Randi Rhodes, had been mugged outside her NYC apartment on Monday evening, Elliott took to the airwaves on his own program Tuesday evening to implicate conservatives in the dastardly deed: 

“Is this an attempt by the right-wing hate machine to silence one of our own? Are we threatening them?”

Now it turns out that no police report was ever filed by Randi Rhodes because no mugging ever took place. A statement today on the Air America website says that Rhodes “experienced an unfortunate incident,” and that “reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded.”

Air America and its hosts villianize Rush Limbaugh, taking his words about “phoney soldiers” out of context, demanding that the United States Congress strip him of his right to free expression. Jon Elliott’s careless words are not being taken out of context and the unfounded reports of a presumed hate crime against Randi Rhodes perpetrated by conservatives originated with Air America! What will  Air America do to hold its host, Jon Elliott, accountable for his carelessness?
