Does anyone know what the deal with Lizz Winstead was?

1. If you ever listened to it, you'd know.

She sucked. She was unprofessional and mean. She sounded like a little petulant girly dictator. She never improved and she added little value. On top of it she was probably expensive. I have an idea that she didn't react well to managements desire to see improvement on her part. She is rumoured to be difficult.

Rachel needs a good co-host but AAR is better off without Lizz.

2. Talk about mean...I never heard Liz being mean

What's with the petulant "girlie dictator" What's THAT crap all about?

3. She was aggressive and fucknig angry.

She thrashed about on the fucking radio and did not have a strong radio personality.

7. If you never heard her being mean

You didn't listen enuf....she had little power trips all the time on the air about the blog.

She was soo annoying, she didn't know the issues and she just stood in the way of Rachel doing a good show.

And I hated the affected Sarah Jessica Parker girly girl routine she'd break into now and then.

8. Yeah he needs to go too.

Or at least let his co-host run the interviews and quit the rambling. He repeats himself all the time. Another show I stopped listening too. His show needs to be retooled.

6. She reminded me of a female liberal Rush Limbaugh but without the

extensive vocabulary. Still I kinda liked her style.

5. Here's an article from Mediaweek:

Winstead Exits Air America
March 08, 2005
By Katy Bachman

Lizz Winstead, one of the original programmers for Air America Radio and co-host of the network’s mid-morning show Unfiltered (9 a.m. to Noon), has exited the liberal radio network.

No reason for her departure was given. In a prepared statement, the network said, “We plan to take the show in a different direction.” Winstead, the comedian who co-created Comedy Central’s Daily Show, has been with the network since its debut last March. Winstead’s current co-hosts, Rapper Chuck D and Rachel Maddow are still on the air.
