Tony Snow TIED with Al Franken. Rats.
I'll take choice #2. I'd sooner listen to the sound of a fax machine answering a mis-dialed phone call.
Good gosh, can't anyone in the media do basic math? If there is a tie at 5th, the next lowest one isn't 6th, it is 7th. There are actually 34 shows ranked, which would properly be shown as:
1) Rush Limbaugh 13.75+
2) Sean Hannity 12.50+
3) Michael Savage 8+
4) Dr. Laura Howard Stern--tie 7.75+
6) Laura Ingraham 5+
7)Neil Boortz Mike Gallagher--tie 3.75 (these shows tend to be on some weaker signals)
9) Jim Bohannon, Clark Howard, Bill O'Reilly, Doug Stephan--all tied 3.25
13) Glenn Beck, Dr. Joy Browne, Don Imus, George Noory--all tied 2.75 (time to retire to the ranch, Don-O?)
17) Jerry Doyle, Kim Kommando, Dave Ramsay, Michael Medved--all tied 2.25
21) Bill Bennett, Jim Rome (tied) 2.0
23) Bob Brinker, Ed Schulz Tied 1.75
25) Tom Leykis, G. Gordon Liddy tied 1.50
27) Jim Cramer, Al Franken, Tony Snow tied 1.25
30) Alan Colmes, Dr. Dean Edell, Phil Hendrie, Rusty Humphries, Stephanie Miller--all tied 1.0
I was just copying what TALKERS had on their site :)
Sorry for not being more clear, I was criticizing only the magazine, which did the rankings.
At least, not on terrestrial radio.
What's even more surprising is that we don't get G. Gordon Liddy-a hometown boy-here.
Yup, knew you were but just mentioning that TALKERS did it that way. And I admit a basic addition error in a post I did earlier where I added up a few libtalk hosts and got 4.75 when it really was 5 (million). In other words, add about 4 of the top rated lib talk hosts and you get 5 million listeners
while Rush has over 13 million all by himself!
