You got it the other way round. That 1930s technology allows Rush to be the most powerful media personality in the country. No one even comes close.
With all due respect to ElRusbo, he is coasting on an audience he built in the 1990's. As the news director of an AM radio station once told me, our main problem is that we lose ten listeners a day via the obituary column. In another decade that medium won't exist. As it is now it reaches almost no one under 40.
And it pains me to say that as I'm a radio fan from way back.

Rush is almost exclusively on radio. His internet and TV presence is minor, yet he continues to weld gargantuan power solely through radio, every single day he is on air, as he has for decades.
Its totally irrelevant if Facebook or Twitter ban him or Levin. It won't affect his power in the lightest. I have never even used Facebook before, even though I check President Trump's tweets from time to time without ever joining Twitter. Everybody listens to radio in their car in their daily commute.
