Air America Radio was a progressive radio station on air for about 5 years that essentially gave Rachel Maddow her start. Some of their other hosts in the beginning were Randi Rhodes, Sam Seder and Jeannine Garofalo, Mark Maron and Mark Riley, and Al Franken. The show "Ring of Fire" was co-hosted by RFK, Jr. and Mike Papantonio, who spent a good deal of time bringing Republican mis-deeds to light. RFK Jr. championed the case of Don Siegelman's wrongful imprisonment https://www.democraticunderground.com/1002799103 . He referred to scientists who spread propaganda for the big oil companies as "biostitutes". Before many people knew who Marco Rubio was, he devoted a lot of time to why he would make a bad Senator. In general, he would lay out logical and rational arguments against Republicans and backed everything with facts.
What happened to him? Could the brain worm have damaged his personality?
