What should be the limit of Rush’s income?

Does the FCC need to intervene and put a stop to the way he sells advertisement on his own show?

Does listening to Rush’s show require the purchase of the products he advertises?

Greed? Can you see inside another man’s heart so well you can know his motives or are all capitalists/entrepreneurs greedy?

Oh, get real.

Do you think Rush babbles on about home security systems, stupid sheets or whatever other garbage he’s selling because he really believes all the crap he’s spewing? Do you really think it’s NOT for more money?

As I said, he already has more money than he could possibly spend in a lifetime.
There’s no need to undercut his own integrity (what’s left of it, that is) by selling this junk - just to make MORE money.

And, yeah, I think that’s greedy.

Yep, there is a bright line not to cross, like some of the old Hollywood types pushing reverse mortgages etc.

OK, so Rush says he’s got enough money and he’s going to stop running any commercials and will no longer take a salary.

Exactly how long do you think the show would last?

Probably a couple of months before it went broke.

Have been in radio and TV broadcasting on both national and local levels, I can tell you most people have no idea how much it costs to run a show like this.

Premiere pays Rush $50 million a year, so how much do you think THEY make.

Here’s what they said about Rush’s show in 2016.

“Premiere Radio Networks and iHeartMedia announced that his show experienced audience growth with 18% growth in adults 25–54, 27% growth with 25–54 women, and ad revenue growth of 20% year over year.”

If Rush stops running any commercials the show is doomed.
