Keep in mind that the other participant in this garbage was the Norman Lear Center. Norman Lear is a very far left Hollywood guy despite his funny TV shows years ago.
It strikes me that this is Lear's left-wing agitprop with a thin icing of Zogby to make it seem like it's a poll rather than an outright fabrication. As though the two are mutually exclusive ...
Zogby and Norman Lear...yeah sure! I’ll believe anything those 2 have to say about Rush. Sure I will.
and again they assign “red” to the conservative side, to avoid giving it (most appropriately) to the socialist Left.
You are nicer than me. When a lib starts spewing their points, I say “are you freakin’ nuts”? LOL
“his popularity may have more to do with pre–set beliefs in the minds of his listeners than with his presentation skills.”
Then why don’t other hosts draw identical numbers?
Limbaugh’s show is truly useful.
I now pick up women the Limbaugh way. I ask them their names and then always respond “oh that’s one of my top ten favorite all time female names”
Liberals have to be angry about something to function properly as liberals, and watching FOX helps with that. :^)
100% of conservatives have no problem with being called conservatives.
99.9% of liberals would like to see speech, video, music, radio and television that does not agree with their philosophy censored.
100% of conservatives believe that any speech, video, music, radio and television with which they disagree should be funded only by those who like the content and not with public taxpayer funded money.
99.9% of liberals believe the government should decide what gets broadcast.
100% of conservatives believe the free market should determine what gets air time.
And one conservative radio commentator actually sold a letter of censure from the Democrats in the Senate for $2.1 million dollars on eBay AND matched the funds with his own money.
While a liberal radio network surreptiously took funds from a charity for Boys and Girls.
Media Matters pays their base to “listen in” and take statements out of context. There is no point to quoting (or deliberately misquoting) Herr Amerika.
Let me see...
A man is saturated with leftism from his first Sesame Street episode, through nearly all music, television and movies, throughout his entire education, everywhere he goes, everything he does, and he is supposed to be “closed minded” because he doesn’t actively seek out leftist propaganda?
oh, you KNOW that was on purpose.
I’ve heard, however, that they alternate the color of the incumbent party every couple of election cycles or some such thing. At least this matches the pattern.
Reagan was blue against Carter and Mondale. Bush 41 was Blue vs Clinton. Dole red vs Clinton. Bush red in 2000 & 2004. It’s time to switch again, I think....
Red WAS the color of Democrat election victories until the recent elections when the same media that changed the colors made it clear to us WHICH party was now “Red”.
They keep talking about how conservatives don’t “read”.
Missing from this analysis is reading current events on the internet.
I used to be a huge reader, but since FR, I find that cruising the internet reading news links and articles has replaced a lot of my reading. I also find fiction nowadays sensational, cheap and lot like a liberal movie. It preaches at you most of the time and inbetween that is simply salacious.
Also, I do watch the business channels. They are an education in themselves. When you understand the markets and economics, it’s hard for the tripe on TV to pull the wool over your eyes as far as politics is concerned.
Which explains why his ratings are the not any higher than the myriad of other conservative talk show hosts with nationally syndicated shows........not.
BBSNews - Sources = Big Bull$hitter$ News - Sources = Bunch of crap
My MIL really hates Rush, and I asked her why.
It’s the same complaint she has about my views -
“he’s just so SURE of himself”. (Yes, it’s easy to be sure of yourself when you’re RIGHT.)
Like Rush’s “bombastic” definition in his promos - lefties just CRINGE when someone is RIGHT and KNOWS they’re right.
FAQ:
Why are Republicans in blue and Democrats in red (while most other news organizations have the opposite)?Elephants have a blue hue and donkeys have a red hue :) (Actually, as a visitor pointed out, elephants are actually gray - but they appear to look more blue than red :) Red and blue are chosen for the maps because they both are primary colors and because they both are incorporated in the flag. The choice of which party is represented by which color was somewhat arbitrary. I was perhaps influenced by maps that I had seen in the distant past (I still remember the solid blue field of Ronald Reagan's re-election in my hometown newspaper in 1984 - I was 14 at the time). Also, internationally, red typically represents parties on the left side of the political spectrum, i.e. the Democrats here in the U.S.
Actually I believe he's rewritten this and when first asked said that he refused to regenerate all of the maps to suit the whims of the media's recent shift.
“They’re not big book readers, but when they do read, they prefer non-fiction. “
Yes, we prefer the truth. And the reason we don’t read as much is because we’re working to support the “Blues.”
