If folks can devote 3 hours a day to listen to Rush, then it surprises me that they can’t take a few minutes here and there to pull up Drudge, or FR, or Breitbart, or Twitchy, or The Blaze, or any number of numerous conservative sites.
Anyone who swallows what the mainstream media dishes out is NOT going to listen to Rush. They present two diametrically opposed views.
Rush is not the only one anymore who peels back the liberal onion. He doesn’t have the corner on that market anymore. There are dozens of columnists and commentators who are just as adept at turning over the log of the liberal mindset, IMO.
One other problem with Rush. I don’t feel like paying for the podcasts and it’s very tiresome to listen to 40 mins. of non-Rush stuff for every hour of his broadcast. It’s a waste of time, IMO.
Just like the sun is setting on the mainstream media, I also believe it’s setting on conservative talk radio.
That’s for three main reasons: 1) From the time they sign off until the time they sign on again, 21 hours of news has happened (more on weekends). The news is old by the time they address it, 2) there is a plethora of conservative news sources on the web with up to date news and commentary available any time of night and day at the click of a mouse and 3) people are choosing news and commentary sources which don’t bombard them with advertising.
Obviously, you hold a different opinion and that’s fine. If you enjoy Rush, go for it. I really don’t care.
And yes, I know what the Limbaugh Theorem is.
