Rush like most in radio doesn't like to build up his competition. He seldom mentions them.
Thank you ST...I was thinking the same thing.
Now Rush might mention the event, if he has to...but he won’t mention Beck’s name. He NEVER mentions Beck’s name.
He will mention Levin’s name from time to time and he invited Levin to his wedding.
He seldom mentions Hannity...in the case of Beck and Hannity he does acknowledge when a caller mentions their names.
Don’t misunderstand...Rush is nothing if not classy about it but he doesn’t go giving his competition free publicity and why should he?
Levin and Hannity are downright nasty about Beck sometimes....gotta read between the lines. Hnnity will sometimes call in to Levin and they’ll talk about Beck in symbolspeech. Levin calls Beck the midafternoon back bencher or some such.
You gotta develop an ear for it. I am a bit of a talk radio junkee.
And hey, I like Levin...really. But he can be a nasty jealous twit at times.
Hannity is, by me, an airhead who only got big on talk radio because he was one of the first on the scene. I can’t listen to his show more than an hour at a time, at most.
But that’s just me.
Rush will always be the best and he doesn’t need to lean on anyone for a bit of cast off sunshine.
