The sway they have isn't editorial. It's wallet-sized. Think seriously now -- in your job, if you are an employee or an independent contractor for a company, would you openly and publicly criticize the very ethics of the company's owner and expect no retaliation? Really???
Hey -- THIS IS CAPITALISM AT WORK. You may not like it, but it is what it is.
I would have agreed heartily with you just one week ago, but Rush's inexplicable reluctance to call a spade a spade and act on it -- as in Thomas Sowell, who stated plainly and clearly that Newt Gingricy was obviously the superior choice over Romney -- and then for Rush to take actions such that for all intents and purposes help Romney at the expense of Newt, is starting to wake me up.
This is connecting dots that simply do not connect.
The most worrisome thing is that they do connect.
You have no idea how the radio business works. Bain is not paying Rush - Rush’s profits are paying Bain and Clear Channel. Anyone investing in Clear Channel is investing in the chance to get a share of Clear Channel’s profits which are driven by their talk revenue, NOT the other way around.
You have it bass ackwards.
