Maybe CNN viewers have switched to Rush radio? Like I said before, watching or listening to liberal stuff is extremely boring. CNN drops to #3, and going down:
The Associated Press: CNN in third place in prime time for first time

Also, the NYT is pretty much in the dumpster, as well as some of the largest and most liberal newspapers in the nation.

Yea right. I think probably 10 million die hard "dittoheads" are out there and others tune in because of the rightwing, corporate monopoly spewing out on your AM dial. It's an all day, corporate financed smorgasbord of right wing lunacy, led by the standard bearer and chief architecht of all the slime, El Rushbo himself.

Its not like you are going to find anything else on the free dial to listen to. For informed commentary that actually deals in the truth you have to either pay for it or resort to the alternative media, that which is far from the mainstream that Rush and his ilk traffic in

Sorry, but the facts show that liberal radio has failed miserably, over and over again.

The 20-30 million a week is just a fact you would like to see go away.

Bush got into Yale because of his Daddy.

I guess you didn't EVER watch Bush on TV when he would totally remove doubt that he was an idiot.

I take Rush Limbaugh (a loud-mouthed, bigoted, overbearing jackass) and his opinions with a grain of salt.

Just look at some of those numbers in the big-city markets.

When will they ever learn?

Margaret dear, I need your help sorting all this out. Rush Limbaugh has a daily audience of 14 million morons- give or take a few rednecks - Howard excluded of course. So are we to believe that they all want Obama to fail? Do I have that right? I am a little confused by this recent turn of events because weren’t these the same peckerwoods who got so upset a few years back when a famous country western singer told about 2,000 people at a concert in London that she was ashamed that George Bush was from her home state?



Dittoheads: too dumb to realize how clueless they sound.

What do you expect from people who take their marching orders from an overweight, wheezing, drug addicted college dropout who never did anything in his entire life other than talk?

Talk to the sheep, there are millions out there.

By far one of the best comments thus far on the thread. Rush is Rush and he has an agenda. Obama is Obama and he has an agenda. Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have agendas. The pendulum swings both ways and neither side is absolutely right or wrong. And this is all a game to keep Americans at each others throats instead of united. The government plan to divide this nation is still working perfectly.

Who knows, maybe those liberals prefer "action" over "talk" Or maybe more liberals are busy with their jobs or other activities to faithfully tune in and listen to the same old drivel on a daily basis. The fact that Rush has such a large following leads me to believe there are 20 to 30 million Americans everyday just listening to a bunch of talk, instead of taking that time to make an effort towards bettering our country and society as a whole. Talk radio shows like Rush's do far more than provide information. They provide a continual catalyst of hate that is perpertuated everyday the faithful tune in.
