Road to Air America" by Sheldon Drobny, is a candid look behind the scenes of the politics, wealth, and news media that inspired Mr. Drobny's vision and nearly derailed his ability to get America's first all liberal talk-radio network going. From his meetings with President Bill Clinton to his hiring of Al Franken as his marquee on-air talent, Drobny has plenty to say about where our nation's government is heading - and why the news media must stop being a slave to its corporate-owned puppeteers.This book shares numerous anecdotes of what its like to be a player in the Democratic Party, including his meetings with Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and presidential candidates John Kerry, Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt."I'm here to show the nay-sayers are wrong," says Drobny. "You can launch a radio network successfully despite the challenges to get funding, despite the right-wing media's slanted coverage and despite getting no cooperation from major distributors or station groups. The liberal voice needs to be heard and here it is.Drobny, Sheldon is the author of 'Road To Air America Breaking The Right Wing Stranglehold On Our Nation's Airwaves', published 2004 under ISBN 9781590790656 and ISBN 1590790650.
