The 5 Stooges Who Ruined Their “Conservative” Careers By Joining “NeverTrump”

I listened to Rush the other day. His show sucked. He spent the first 23 minute segment of the first AND second hours talking about the same useless point and kept repeating himself over and over...

(”Repeating a thing doesn’t improve it.” Inman in the movie Cold Mountain)

It was so stupid I don’t even remember what it was. Besides that, he discusses Trump campaign and the polls, taking Trump’s side, but always pointing out how he isn’t necessarily FOR Trump, just reporting what is happening.

He still can’t upset his conservative puppet masters, even though Trump is now the nominee.

I have no use for this Bull$hit artist. I can’t believe I listened to him all those years.

[buwaya]

I wonder about that too.
There is only one way to find out I suppose, and I dont want to find out.

Once you get started listening to Jeff Kuhner at noon, you’ll never go back to Limbaugh.

Jeff kuhner is a fake and a fraud, last election he supported every rino on the face of the earth, he's a cruz guy, he was excellent when he first came to Boston, when he moved to noontime he became a clown.

I hadn't realized Savage had climbed so high!

They revealed themselves to me when in 2008 they ignored Obama’s eligibility, and then refused to address the fake birth documents, fake social security number, non-attendance on Columbia's campus, etc.

[TheStickman]

Rush seems to me to be more NeverHillary than pro-Trump. I turned him off for good after he suggested Trump was talking about the election being rigged so he could “use it as an excuse if he loses”. No more Rush for me after that.

Vote Trump 2016

[wintertime]

If and when hard tyranny comes to our nation, Rush will sell his talents to the fascist oligarchy. He will lick the jackboots crushing our necks. Bet on it. He may already be doing that.

I have posted this many times since 2008. I am still totally ticked at Rush's “intellectual dishonest”. I will never forget.

Your Wiki list is based on old data. It looks like they used data from 2014.

It is difficult to find more current ratings. They tend to release them by station, since the ratings impact local rates.

BTO,,,
You got Me!

[MayflowerMadam]

Stephen Moore is the good guy.
Stephen Hayes is the bad guy.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Thank you! I wondered where they were getting it. Much appreciated.

They are both open borders/amnesty guys.

From talkers.com:

Rush Limbaugh and Premiere Networks Reach Agreement on Extension. There was little doubt from most industry observers that talk radio superstar Rush Limbaugh and iHeartMedia’s Premiere Networks would come to terms on an agreement to continue syndicating Limbaugh’s show. Not surprisingly, today’s announcement from Premiere did not mention the terms of this new deal, but simply called it a “long-term, multi-platform agreement.” Eight years ago, Limbaugh and Premiere announced a partnership agreement that was widely reported to have been worth $400 million. The conventional wisdom is that changes in the radio industry and the backlash from the infamous “Sandra Fluke incident” have negatively affected Limbaugh’s ability to earn the type of ad dollars that would justify that kind of money this time around. At the top of today’s program, however, Limbaugh told his listeners that the deal is for four years and he gets no regular salary but, presumably, a percentage of sales. He said, “I have to make my numbers.” In the press release,Premiere stated, “Ad revenue for ‘The Rush Limbaugh Show’ has also increased by 20% over last year, and the show continues to be the number one program in talk radio.” Limbaugh celebrated his 28^th anniversary in national syndication on Monday. He said in the prepared statement, “After 28 fulfilling years, I seriously considered moving on to something else, but Rich [Bressler] and Bob [Pittman] were very persuasive. I’m thrilled to be continuing. And I really want to be on the air if the Russians find Hillary’s emails.”

Last year, here in the Boston market, Rush was kicked off 50kw WRKO and wound up at 5kw WKOX, which is having trouble filling its ad minutes (actually, I don't think they are even bothering). They run the same set of PSAs and promos over and over to fill up the breaks.

From Nielsen:

WKOX-AM	News Talk Information	0.2	0.2	0.1
WXKS-AM	News Talk Information	0.1	*	*

WBZ is straight news during the day, talk at night. WBUR and WGBH are the local NPR outlets. WXKS is business talk (Bloomberg). WMEX is also talk, but not listed for some reason.

WRKO, WKOX, and WMEX all run a 12-3 talk show, Jeff Kuhner, Rush Limbaugh, and Sandy Shack, respectively

BTO ,
I KILL ME!

just a note that others Be hating
Rush,,
Good!
I new Trump would bring out the Roaches, but this is really going to be one hell of a Fight to get back to sanity.

[wardaddy]

It wasn’t hard to tell Rush hated Trump and loved hisself some Ted

But he walked a very thin ridge and survived while the rest perished

[Ted Grant]

The audience simply doesn’t have the patience for more talk and no results.

[uncitizen]

Rush likes whomever the Establishment globalists pay him to like.

[central_va]

Limbaugh laughed at working class America when NAFTA passed. He made fun of blue collar America, Trumps America. For Rush to really get behind Trump Rush would have to be man enough to admit Free Trade is a disaster. But Rush will never do that. He is not a nationalist at all and a globalist through and through.

[stanne]

Oh yeah. No one is going to give up easily. This month Trumps been observing. Noting enemies. Leaving the lights off so they’ll come out to the kitchen floor. When he turns the light on they’ll freak
