The next time you hear Mark Levin on the radio, or watch Glenn Beck on TV, or read Erick Erickson, RedState.com on the Internet, you might just ask yourself who is paying for the message? And why is it so stridently anti-Trump?
Don’t fool yourself. They’re doing it for the money.

The Conservative Tree House blog exposed the financial nexus supporting prominent “conservative” pundits to promote in their media outlets Ted Cruz as the last, best hope to block Trump in Wisconsin, a state considered by the Washington-based GOP establishment as perhaps the last establishment firewall to block Trump from the GOP presidential nomination.
“These financial/media relationships have largely and historically, remained hidden,” a blogger identified simply as “sundance” noted in an article posted on TheConservativeTreeHouse.com on Wednesday. “They have sure never been publicly, clearly, and regularly stated so the consuming audience would know the presentation was fraught with financial conflict.”

I started in radio in 1978, had my own shows by 88 and got out a few years ago.
Rush was a big part of it. I listened to him extensively, got a lot of broadcasting tips from him and figured out his broadcast style over the years.
As a leader he had to remain objective,fair and balanced. He lost that this year.
My guess is Hannity will slowly replace hims as the talk radio leader since he is still objective even though you get who he likes more than the others.
From my standpoint I did learn a lot from Rush but I'm learning things I don't like at this point.
LoL,too good!
Yes....Erick “Private Doberman” Erickson
I suppose I shouldn’t be too hard on Rush. He played a role in educating people about the left and about conservatism. But his role is naturally becoming smaller and if he isn’t willing to adjust to the changes in the political landscape and to his lesser role, he risks becoming completely irrelevant.
Had to catch up. I downloaded Levin podcast to listen to Levin response.
Sad to hear. I’ll pick back up with Levin after July 2016..., BUT since he has now gone back on his word and declared “neverTrump, “ maybe I’ll need to wait til Jan 2017.
Unlike Rush, Levin has made his intentions known-— all in for Cruz. I’ll give him that...AND, I don’t think Levin has been bought.
Before Levin was all in for Cruz, I was all in for Cruz. Accumulating info changed my mind. Why would I want to listen to a daily 3-hr Cruz infomercial? I’ll meet up with Levin in Jan 2017. Meanwhile, unlike Levin, I will vote for Trump or Cruz...whoever is the nominee.

“...too damned juvenile for words.”
