Rush Limbaugh's woes in the ratings game of partisan talk radio are being highlighted by his left-wing enemies, Media Matters is gleefully reporting that the radio talk show host is on a downward slide.
Salon puts this headline on the piece, "Rush Limbaugh’s downward spiral continues: Another demotion, another step toward irrelevancy."
The piece highlights a recent move down the radio dial Limbaugh was forced to make after being dumped by his host station in Boston, Mass.
Limbaugh is still on the air in Boston but the conservative radio talk show has a new AM home in the city and it "currently boasts a 0.6 rating, trails four non-commercial stations in the market, and becomes yet another big-city, cellar-dwelling outpost that Limbaugh is forced to call home," Salon reports.
The have a lot more Rush bashing here.
Earlier, the New York Daily News revealed that sagging ratings might mean less money for Limbaugh in his next contract noting that "the ratings for syndicated conservative talk have flattened or dropped for several years, despite the gift of a Democratic President to hammer, and some think the format is wearing down."
Daryl Parks, a former talk host, media blogger and self-described Republican is quoted by NYDN and has the opinion that the schtick is wearing thin,
“Today’s talk radio is fast fading into the sunset because of a format stuck with 1990s rhetoric,” he says.
“A constant right-wing political drumbeat no longer resonates.”
The article notes that Rush "lost many advertisers after the Sandra Fluke birth control controversy in 2012, and that could affect what his syndicator, Premiere, will offer when his eight-year, $50 million a year deal expires in 2016."
Despite the ratings woes and aging demographics for the show he is still the "face of syndicated conservative talk radio," according to the NYDN.
Proud grandparents post birth announcements in our town paper all the time. Sometimes the parents of the baby live out of the country. The Dunhams had especially good reason to do so since it is possible that Obama was born out of the country and therefore not a citizen.
There is **PLENTY** of evidence that the birth documents posted on the Internet ARE flat-out clumsy forgeries.
Finally...Obama spent millions ( government and private ) to prevent the release of court admissible birth documents. The ducks I see quacking and waddling around like ducks are that Obama went to great lengths to hide documents ( birth certificate, school records, and passports) that any natural born citizen would have immediately released. All it would have taken would have been a nod of his head to his secretary and a mere $20 or $30.
Yes....I am STILL totally pissed at Rush Limbaugh for ignoring Obama’s eligibility, his expensive and extensive efforts to hid his past, and the FORGERIES.
Rush Limbaugh is completely UNTRUSTWORTHY and a COWARD. He is a PHONY for ignoring Obama’s eligibility.. I will never forget it and will take every opportunity I can find to remind conservatives of Limbaugh's cowardice.
Have you looked into HOW those announcements got into the paper?
BTW: Holding that the crude forgery is a crude forgery DOES NOT commit one to the claim that “Obama” was not born in Hawaii. All it commits one to is the proposition that the files of the State of Hawaii do not contain a piece of paper dating from 1961, of which the pdf is an accurate image.
There is no evidence that the Kenyan Obama is the biological father of “Obama Junior.”
I'm a dial-outer when it comes to golf, I go get some nice pleasant interesting stuff from Praeger for awhile, and then wander back to Rush after half an hour, just to get my low-blood pressure problem treated.
So you're stamping your little feet because Limbaugh didn't embrace birtherism.
Tell me.. if someone thinks that Voodoo is a stupid way to fight cancer, does that then mean they are in favor of cancer?
No.
It just means they think the method is stupid.
I alike Rush and listen when I can. But deep down I suspect he is a libertarian gloBULList free trader. Have you ever heard him talk about H-1B visas? or other forms of trade abuses?
Yes, I recall your having mentioned that.
How could it be otherwise?
I you continue to send posts to my ping lists
I didn't know you had any ping lists, and I assure you I've never made any posts to any lists of yours.
Rush’s show has been a thorn in the side of the left for 27 years. Who else has ever had that long of run pissing people off and creating havoc in the political realm?
BFD if his ratings are slipping.
You are right. What they don’t say tells me everything I need to know.
Now getting into the WHY he presented a forgery is when people fly off the rails. And personally, I don't even care why. I don't care where, when, why, or how he was born or hatched or whatever. The fact is he presented fraudulent documentation.
There is no question it is a forgery. And that alone is a crime of major proportions for which any other American would have been imprisoned.
Obama is using a dead man's social security number. That is well documented. Yet.....Nothing is done. No one is curious.
