'''Air America Radio''' was founded in 2004 by Sheldon and Anita Drobny as a [[far-Left]] radio network. It was a commercial failure, losing money from its inception and failing to attract listener numbers comparable to popular [[conservative talk radio|conservative]] or moderate liberal talk show hosts. Air America began bouncing its employees' payroll checks shortly after taking to the airwaves. Bankruptcy was necessary due to the inability to attract advertisers, ratings below what was expected, declining interest in program content and poor management.  The misuse of investors' funds and the ill-treatment of workers remains controversial. Nearly one million dollars of Air America's funds were improperly obtained from a federally-funded charity for children.<ref>http://newsbusters.org/node/8166</ref> Two executives at that charity were indicted over the matter.
