Democrats nearly double Limbaugh’s audience

by Dan Spencer

Saturday, March 7th

The Democrats’ conspiracy to demonize Rush Limbaugh, directed from the Obama White House, has the talk radio icon laughing all the way to the bank.

Friday’s U.S. News Political Bulletin reports Rush Limbaugh is a clear winner this week:

His ratings have nearly doubled since his feud with the White House burst into the media limelight.

Byron York asked Rush about the effect the Democrats’ plot has had on Rush’s business:

The latest numbers I have are for January, well before this kerfuffle began, and they are through the roof — six shares in NY, for example. There are daily ratings taken now in about the top 15 markets but I have not seen them yet. All I can tell you is that as of January, we booked 80 percent of all our 2008 revenue and we’ll be over 2008 by the end of this month.

According to Talkers Magazine, since the Democrats’ conspiracy was put in motion, Rush’s audience has grown from 14 million to 25 million.

As Chris Matthews said the Democrats’ plot is a great stimulus program.

Whatever they are paying Rush, it’s not nearly enough.

Rush owns his show. His paycheck is based on a.) his audience and b.) his advertisers.
