I guess she's following in her stations footsteps of losing money...

Fox News lost money for its first few years as well.

Yeah and then it became Conservative under Murdoch. Now it's at the top.

Good point.

There's no truth to the rumors that Air America host Randi Rhodes (above) was mugged near 39th St. and Park Ave. Sunday night. She is scheduled to return to the air on Thursday.

There's no truth to the rumors that Air America host Randi Rhodes (above) was mugged near 39th St. and Park Ave. Sunday night. She is scheduled to return to the air on Thursday.

Air America radio host Randi Rhodes is temporarily off the air, but claims she was brutally attacked near her Manhattan apartment are bogus, her lawyer and a police source said today.

Fellow host Jon Elliott claimed on the liberal radio network that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, Simon, on Sunday night. Elliot, who said Rhodes lost several teeth in the attack, waxed about a possible conspiracy.

"Is this an attempt by the right-wing, hate machine to silence one of our own?" he asked on the air, according to Talking Radio, a blog. "Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?"

A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan's 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime, the source said.

Rhodes' lawyer told the Daily News she was injured in a fall while walking her dog. He said she's not sure what happened, and only knows that she fell down and is in a lot of pain. The lawyer said Rhodes expects to be back on the air Thursday. He stressed there is no indication she was targeted or that she was the victim of a "hate crime."

Rhodes started with the Air America when it launched in 2004. Her show airs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.

The network released a statement that said Rhodes "experienced an unfortunate incident."

"The reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded," the statement read by a receptionist at the network's New York offices said. "Ms. Rhodes is looking forward to being back on the air on Thursday."

Still, the tale lived on in the blogosphere.

"What the %$#$ is WRONG with you people?? Are you that SICK in the head that just because you don’t agree with someone’s political views you believe that they deserve to be mugged? Are you on the right that DEMENTED??," a blogger called neddlenosehanty posted on watchingthewatchers.org.

Another blogger shot back, "I very seriously doubt if this unfortunate woman was mugged by a conservative. To jump to the conclusion that she was mugged by someone on the right is bigotry of another kind. Think not?"

Come on ib1, I know you are trying to get back in Darla's good graces after admitting to laughing at the photo of BAC and handing over your balls to her, but that is just no excuse to post some of your private porn pics. Sick.

Also I took a look at your photobucket stash and why did you try and kill yourself?

Life can't be that bad, well maybe yours being still an intern after nearly half a decade, but I am here for you man, there's no need to go on an eating binge either and turn yourself into ib1ydload...

Handing his balls to me??

What is the terror right wing men have over their balls? They are all petrified of castration...has anyone ever seen Tucker Carlson talk about how he has to cross his legs whenever he hears the name "hillary clinton"?

They always think that women are going to "get their balls". Do they think we hang them from our rearview mirrors and cackle about them with our girlfriends?

It must go back to childhood. You can only imagine what their mothers must have been like to cause this lifelong obsession and fear. Shudder.

It's quite the opposite over here, Darla.

I can't possibly count the number of women i've gleefully offered my balls to only to be met with rejection, abuse and, at the last count, three restraining orders.

I'll never figure out women.
