Right at that time I remember that Rush Limbaugh was "called"(?) out of town one day and back on the air next day!
He never one time mentioned the reason for that specific day he was not behind the Golden Microphone, NOT ONE TIME!!
Normally he has ALWAYS told the listener when he leaves the microphone. And suddenly he would rapidly cut off anyone who would raise the eligibility issues on air, which make absolutely NO sense. I'm sure he's keeping an "eye" on F.R. and then sporadic thrown in a "little" short bone on the issue here and then, but not consistently. The other talking heads have similar gag orders, even Glenn Book has alluded to it!!!
Yes, Danamco, the vanished eligibility discussions were dramatic. Someone with too much hyperbole for most suggested there were threats, but the author of that idea, from the Canadian press, never substantiated the claim with a name or documents.
Wondering about that sudden silence while doing chores, I stopped at every radio programming break, and kept track of public service announcements for one hour one weekday evening, listening to the same conservative local station. I had gotten tired of “Lobster Claw Hands” and “Rachel, whose parents didn't really know she as a drug addict” again and again. About three quarters of the advertising was government sponsored, usually by the Ad Council with HHS or some non-profit no one has ever heard of.
It isn't obvious, but if over half a private company depends upon one client, a good board of directors will force a change, because that one client can take down the company. It's just a thought, but may explain the silence. We all know the Saudi’s own the largest block of News Corp, which owns Fox, WSJ, as well as major parts of Apple, Cisco, Citibank, and Harvard. It isn't so obvious that commercial broadcasting can be shut down with a few words to the shadow behind the curtain, already supporting Public Broadcasting, PBS, NPR. It is all becoming National Public Radio. The left can't eliminate Rush or Beck or whomever, but they can kill the “private” broadcasting networks. They know listeners will disappear, which is probably the only reason that shoe hasn't yet dropped.
The control of television is more obvious, but conservatives are more influenced by radio, which spigots are controlled by the Ad Council. Could that be why the 1st Amendment has been effectively stymied around eligibility discussions? You think?
Yep! The men in black helicopters paid a visit to Rush...but were they from the American government, or Mars?
