You've hit the nail on the head. I feel bad for Rush as a human being but I believe his biggest fear has always been that he would become irrelevant. Since common folks like me started to discover the power of the internet 6-8 years ago, Rush has seemed to be more and more insecure about his influence. I only speak for those I know who regularly listen to Rush - - they strike me as folks who already believe what they believe but, for some reason, they need to listen to Rush to validate those beliefs.

As for Imus, well, that's just pure entertainment - except for the 2-3 guests he has on his program every day. Guests say things on his program they wouldn't say anywhere else. And, the reason they feel free to say what they say is because he doesn't interrupt or talk over them. Imus doesn't preach to me. He assumes I want to be entertained and not talked down to.

This makes no sense. In November of last year he was touted as the main fear factor of the Democrap because of his power on the radio. As for the power of the internet, thats a huge joke! Theres no power! 90% of the internet is crap and 8% is rumour or urban legend. You also make a huge assumption that Imus is entertaining. Listing to him is an adventure in boring and watching him is like watching an old Clutch Cargo where the face doesn't

I agree Imus is more of an entertainment talk show. I use to listen to him for awhile and found him to be humorious, but I could never tell when he was just being funny or was trying to be serious. I tend to listen more to local talk radio now. They still talk about national and international issues, but they also talk more about local issues, and I find that to be more interesting then a nationally broadcasted radio shows.
