While I think you have some good ideas, if you read the posts - by people listed on the list - and they left off the biggest of them all “InstaPundit” you will see that 90% of Rush’s radio show is covered the day before by these blogs. Rush has been behind the internet curve for 2-3 years. Rush has interesting commentary but even the local news realizes that more topics and faster is now the norm - Rush beats one idea to death in his first hour. The listerner can handle more.
InstaPundit...Glenn Reynolds...is da bomb RE: being in the know. Rush credits him all of the time. However, I can understand Rush wanting to do his own research, just as Drudge, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit, Ace, and others do, before they run with a story.
That’s what I love about conservative sites. They strive to get it right, instead of going on a list serv, or reading a wire, and having everything fed to them.
As far as Rush being behind the curve for 2-3 years...you haven’t been listening. He is on the very tippy top...every...single...show.
Like most talk shows, Rush has a theme...that’s what is “being beat to death” in the first hour.
Try listening to the other two hours...
