The story has no credibility because Limbaugh has high ratings. Charlie Sheen is not an addict because his show had high ratings. Gotcha!!
No one could be that dense. OK here we go. There are many unfounded attacks on these guys, including this one (argument one). Now, the effect of these unfounded accusations is to draw more attention to these broadcasters, increasing their ratings (argument two). Argument two flows from argument one. It doesn't cause it.Capisce?

You ignored the question..
What gives some anonymous "interviewee" credibility? Wouldnt you think that there would be more individuals to substantiate the claim? Dont you think there are enough right wing kooks in the country that would be willing to call for FREE? After all, they get what, 10 callers per day?
This is like the story about the costs of one of Obamas trips.. Some anonymous individual said the cost was $x, which was reported everywhere.. and you liberals said the story had no credibility because the individual wouldnt name who he was.. now all of a sudden, some anonymous individual makes some claim and liberals are foaming at the mouth, despite the fact that it just makes no sense given the number of people willing to do it for free..
Talk about "Coals to Newcastle."
I can't even imagine how many calls
these national shows must get.
As if they need to pay for callers.
Are some people really that gullible,
or would they just believe anything
that might discredit Rush, etc.?

Nah, he didn't ignore it, he clearly is being obtuse because he knows these accusations have no credibility.

The callers who call in to Limbaugh sound a lot more polished than the right wing kooks, some in my family, who I come across in real life. Compare the tea party interviews on youtube to the callers on Limbaugh. The youtube right wingers are way nuttier, and racist. Paid actors you can control what they say and what they don't say. A left winger can call Limbaugh pretending to be conservative and give him a sucker punch, I've heard it before. Limbaugh's pretty good at catching it, but some get through and this is when he gets into trouble.

Too funny. SO this is the basis of the credibility of the articles? Lame....

Well aside from the fact that there are multiple sources of the story, and the same company which broadcasts the shows has a division which offers these type of services, and how many of their calls sound scripted and rehearsed, and very few left leaning callers ever get through, I'd have to say not much more.

Now if you have proof that the cites listed are not credible besides your opinion I'd like to see it. If they have been caught in lies before or have a reputation like fabricating news, you might have a point.
Again, just another made-up story from the Left, whose attacks on Rush and Fox have achieved great things.....for Rush and Fox.

Thats because they probably go through 20 callers to find 1 worthy of going on the air. So because they put the "educated" sounding callers on, they have to be paid?

There clearly would be a world of difference between left wingers finding right wing "kooks" to pertray as "tea partiers", than those calling a talk show host.. Especially since the left wing has admitting to outright doing things to discredit the tea partiers, even pretending to be one and acting stupid in front of the camera.. Odd now that the left is making the same accusations that they've been caught doing themself..

So by your own admission left wingers get through, so what again would give this story credibility? Do you think the left wingers were also paid?
