Actually you are a Liberaltarian...

Like most RonPaulists, you want lower taxes and limited government and but support most Democrat policies outside of that, including being to the Left of the Dems on military and foreign policy.

I don’t consider you guys anything but a tiny but very loud nuisance

gowdy and goober both from SC have a lot in common. Put them in front of a microphone and they come off like supermen. Give them the ability to do something and they do very little.

NPR’s flagship programs, All Things Considered and Morning Edition, reached their largest weekly audience ever, at 14.4 million and 14.65 million listeners, respectively – continuing to be two of the largest news radio programs in the country, and larger than many well-known television news programs.

Hannity has over 15 million and Limbaugh over 20 million,

At their peak, yes. Their audiences have tapered off over the years. A good example is my market. My talk station that carries Rush and Sean used to have about a 10 share. It's now 6.1. In LA, he was carried on KFI and which had a 4 or 5 share and still does. He now is on KEIB that has a 1 share. That trend can be seen market after market. On the other hand, there has been a rise in listeners for NPR stations. In certain market, mostly leaning liberal, but still major markets, some NRP stations are in the top 5 in and a few instances #1 in total listenership.

The following is a link to the audience estimates for the commercial talk show hosts. http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-audiences/ Rush clocks in at 14 million, not 20. Sean 13.5. The source is an advocate for talk radio. They take the Nielson audience reports and create as best they can the total weekly listeners of each host. There are certain markets where the audience is too small to measure and yet Rush and Sean are carried in those markets. Same hold true for NPR. My NPR station is carried in 6 non rated markets on translators. None of those listeners are counted as part of the NPR audience.
