Someone might want to tell Harriet Myers about this.........

[Sir Gawain]

Any moron can be a journalist or TV talking head. We’re not impressed anymore.

[celtic gal]

The lib media only hopes...but thankfully they are, as usual, wrong again.

"CNN correspondent Carol Costello"

Cheers!

I’ll always be grateful to Dennis Prager and his helping me to moral clarity.

Just wait until November. Then the Conservatives will speak their piece... I know I can’t wait.

[GOPJ]

Funny, but I heard the same about CNN...

Fox started strongly, but has dramatically dumbed down over the last few years. It's the all-Britney, Paris, missing hot chicks, youtube stupid video channel now. Limbaugh is one of the few guys who can talk about a substantive issue for an hour and maintain an audience.

Limbaugh addressed this issue when talking about all the people wanting him to endorse a candidate. He stated that people who thought he was a kingmaker were deluded, that if he was, Clinton would never had been elected.

The only thing that concerns me is that if this fall is the bloodbath I suspect it will be, the Rats, unimpeded, will restore the "fairness doctrine" and start a takeover of the internet. The mainstream won't oppose them, as they want talk radio and the internet shut down to all but the "approved" news sources anyway.

[Ciexyz]

No, it ain't.

Rush does not have a lot of influence in states like Iowa that have Tom Harkin as a Senator. Nor in states where the Sununu’s cross dress as Republicans. And Rush certainly has no influence in a state like South Carolina where Goober Graham passes for a conservative Republican. Nor has he any influence in the home state of Michael Moore where Gore carried the Detroit area by 1 million votes. Rush has a lot of listeners, but RINO’s and blue states take up the early primary season.

[JoJo Gunn]

Yes, they wish.

There’s only so much Rush (or anyone else) can say to abject morons hell-bent on taking Conservatism down the toilet.

[L98Fiero]

I’d be inclined to agree with the article.

I hardly ever hear anyone talk about Rush anymore IRL, unlike 10 years ago. A lot of that is thanks in part to the internet. There are many more sources for conservatives now.

They have GOT to be kidding. Rush Limbaugh is by far the #1 rated radio talk show in the USA, according to industry journal Talkers magazine. Limbaugh has single-handedly propped up way too many AM stations, to say the least.

These people think they can tell us what do do, think and who to vote for.

No way Jose.

[JerseyDvl]

Looks like someone will be due a healthy helping of Crow sometime after Super Tuesday.

[DennisR]

I guess that is why the airwaves are filled with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham, Larry Elder, Mark Levin, Mark Davis, Bill Cunningham, Mike Gallagher, Jerry Doyle, Michael Medved, John Gibson, Tammy Bruce, Barbara Simpson, Rusty Humphries, ... need I go on?

[WOSG]

What’s CNN? havent watched them since last century.

I’ll have to listen to Rush tomorrow to find out what’s that about.

[BobS]

I thought Rush was going out with this one:

Kathryn Rogers. She likes golf and football. Priorities are priorities.

[peggybac]

CNN is still on the air?
