I cannot stand Rush Limball but in his defense the FACTS are that radio listenership is down across the board. Not just him but all the stations have lost listeners with the advent of in car satellite radio and the ever growing MP3 players.

His show is as profitable as ever, his ratings remain solid (duh!), and he's not going anywhere, much to the chagrin of Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and all the rest of those social-engineers.

Talk to me when the entire lot of leftie radio personalities combined earn for their stations what Rush earns for his alone.

10s of listeners were upset when Hot Air America went off the air and silenced the shrill screeches of Janeane Garofalo.

Ya' know....you left wing baboons love to blabber on about things and hardly EVER offer anything to back what you say.

Figure this out for yourself einstein....IF radio stations were losing money on Limbaugh....or Hannity...or any of the other conservative shows....THEY WOULDN'T BE ON THE AIR!!! Here's a newsflash....businesses aren't in business to LOSE MONEY. In fact...if they LOSE MONEY, they change their practice...or CANCEL A SHOW. But...since that hasn't happened, I'd say that is PROOF that you are full of....'hot air'.

Go peddle your left wing propaganda somewhere else...maybe over at the Nickelodeon board...I hear the kids over there will believe anything.

Hate radio isn't going anywhere. For some reason wingnuts seem to require a daily dose to stoke their phony outrage about...

Well, about almost anything, no matter how insignificant. They just can't make it through the day w/o setting their hair on fire about something..

Perpetually PO'd

Ever listen to Mike Malloy or Alex Bennett for a good dose of hate?

No one else listens to them either, but thought you might have......

I don't think radio stations and listeners are tiring of Right Wing talk shows. I know that in Atlanta, we have 3 or 4 stations that air Right Wing stuff and NONE for Left Wing.

I know I tire of it... not that I am a liberal or a conservative.. I just prefer to get the WHOLE story and not just half of it! You can get that from Sat Radio... keep things balanced. If I listen to one side or the other for too long without getting a counter view point I start to march to that drum beat.. very scary. It really and truly is a form of brain washing...

All one has to do is spend 30 seconds searching the web:

Amazing that people will blather on and no-one bothers to actually look to see what's available:

Isn't it amazing the absolute BS progressive liberals like the OP believe in?
