The graph below re the Stock value of NYT/The New York Slimes is very interesting. The Slimes has been basically in free fall since they really started lying about GW and pushing Kerry in 2004.

Mr. Bellings writes this as if to say that this is a bad thing.

Problem is the MSM is losing the viewship of people who are ALREADY conservative

The brain washed boobs are still watching and being led by the nose

I actually counted up to about 23 or 24 the other day before I zapped him.

You sure do take a long time to learn

I gave up watching him years ago .All you are doing is increasing his ratings and learning nothing

I don't think he means it that way. He's a conservative radio talk guy in Milwaukee, WI.

He's the one that was banned from his show for a week or so because he used what some considered to be a "racial slur" when he was refusing to be PC about a topic.

"NY Times revenue is down 25 million Dollars (48M to 23M)."

Ain't it a shame???? I guess people are finally tiring of paying idiots for their thoughts!

I adore Mark. Like Rush, he can sort out complex issues in understandable terms without talking down to his audience. There may be none better in weighty matters of a sensitive nature, as in the Terri Schiavo mess. There were so many twists and turns there, that many others on radio missed half the story, but Mark hit home run segments every time. He obviously doesn't look for shortcuts just to fill in three hours.

Like Rush, he can also be quite funny, but with his own deadpan style. My favorite was the bit about the taxpayer funded plasma TVs (eight of them!) in the high school lunchroom in Muskego. I was in tears laughing. Couldn't bring myself to leave the car.

I also know of no other "talking head" that can make tax policy not only interesting but also entertaining.

The only thing is, he tries too hard to do the bravado thing, and can't pull it off like Rush does, so it sometimes comes off like he's too impressed with himself. Not many can tell their audience "I'm so brilliant" and get away with it. I can look past it, but many can't, so if he ever listens to critique, I'd say "tap the brakes" on that.

Oh, and I'm not a Cheesehead, I'm in northern Crook County. Chicago has NOTHING ON after Rush, but Belling's crystal clear in my car.

Mark should syndicate, as Illinois could use him as well.

I'm glad to hear even non-Cheeseheads like him! :) I can't get him in my area, but we have ConservaBabe Vicki McKenna on after Rush and she's very good, too.

I aleays read Mark's columns when I come across them, but will make a note to post them more often.

Love your Freeper name, LOL!
