Conservatives instantly flocked to Rush by the millions, creating radio numbers that we could not have imagined when the liberal “King “ of radio was measuring his number one show by the hundreds of thousands.
Conservatives also instantly flocked to Fox News, the first conservative news station, I don't know what dilettantes and out of touch elitists did, you tell us that they would only listen, or watch what Bill Buckley approved of. You sound like one of those liberals who seem to be speaking about a foreign people when they mention conservatives.
Your attributions go far beyond what I wrote. The essential point is that because Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio were new, they took time to gain affiliates, find and grow their national audiences by getting conservatives to tune them in, and then capture ad revenues commensurate with the size of their audiences. That is how the media business works.
