I would suspect that many right of centre talk radio and TV shows at least surf FR to see where a certain portion of their viewers are at after-all they need to appeal to that maybe not majority of the listeners/viewers but a good chunk and without them their ratings would plunge.

If by doing this a few nuggets mentioned on this board and other conservative/Republican sites gets into the media and eventually into the homes of the public then this board and others similar are serving one of their purposes to get information out.

I am sure sites such as this are used for their material even if they do not want to mention them for fear maybe that their creditability might be in question.

I am sure that many of them first picked up on Sarah Palin from this and other right wing websites and I also suspect that FR would have been used by the McCain VP committee to see where some of the grassroots conservatives would be on the pick. Whilst we probably cannot take the all the credit for the pick and other items mentioned in the conservative/Republican/right wing media we are still part of the whole.

I agree,Rush has mentioned probably a dozen or more sites over the years that he refers to often. We are seldom mentioned however if you listen closely stuff we do here is often mentioned,paraphrased or otherwise lifted.
