Rush is also on 3 hours a day. 15 hours in week compared to 2.5 hours a week for a half hour newscast, more airtime = more ad revenue. Rush’ salary is a drop in the bucket when you consider the ad revenue and syndication fees for his show.
Only one thing can save Katie’s basement ratings (besides Rush or inclusive of him)...the Fairness Doctrine..eheheheh! That’s right..force these liberal TV news outfits to have conservatives on air live next to their darlings....the ‘unFairness Doctrine’ (although Stalinist in design) may actually help these rags and hags. Oh the delicious irony....
