Now bob surely you noticed that those figures were for May 2010.

Limbaugh has 15 million listeners. That's more than ABC, CBS, and NBC

Did you know that there are over 300 million people in America? 15 million is a tiny little sliver. What do the rest of the 285+ million people watch or listen to?

And of course you can prove that his claim to being right about 99.6% or the time is another of his lies. Why don't you get to it?

I used to watch all the traditional network news programs, just out of habit. Believe it or not, until recently I was not very political. I only went to Fox News one day to find out what all the hullaballoo was about (thank you, liberals, for directing me to Fox News! Without all your whining and seething, I would still be watching NBC today). What I found was that Fox News actually covered . . . the news! Amazing, that. Then when we moved to Israel, I discovered that Fox News was the only news outlet that actually reported on all the bombings and Pali attacks, whereas the other news outlets conveniently ignored so much Pali violence but they were always right there Johnny on the spot whenever Israel retaliated.

Then I read Bernie Goldberg's book, Bias, which I highly recommend.

After the Dan Rather scandal, I don't know how anyone can trust the traditional news networks anymore, let alone defend them.
It does just burn their derrieres, no doubt.

Fox put a stop to their monopoly of the "news". Stopped the one-sided, biased reporting the left-wing media engages in.

I love it.

Fox has been #1 for how many years now? 10? 12? 14?

Fritz Thyssen finally realized that using slave laborers until they died wasn't working and wound up finishing the war in the VIP suite at Dachau, then being tried by the allies.

As for Bush we know how that turned out

Rush has between 25-30 million listeners in any given week.

Since the country really doesn't want to listen to left-wing radio, the idiots at MM have made it their mission to threaten and intimidate businesses that do business with Fox - that's really all they have left in their attempt to stifle speech...they don't like.

I see the partisans on the left and the right accusing each other
of attempting to stifle free speech. Who is correct? Let's see.
Does either side try to shut down a cable news outlet?
Yeah, the left wants desperately to rid the world of Fox News.
Is anyone trying to shut down MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Etc? Nope.
Does either side employ a room full of about ninety people to
"monitor" one political talk show? Yeah, that would be Soros
working to see a world free of Glenn Beck. Does anyone
monitor MSNBC? Nope, nobody even watches it.
Would the "Fairness Doctrine" effectively limit any leftist media outlet? Uh, nope.
Was "Air America" attacked on a daily basis? No, nobody even listened.

So who has a problem with "Free Speech?" I dunno, you make the call.
