Rush embodies everything that is repulsive
about that pathetic hate group called the Republican party. I've turned on lately to see who still sponsors that coward. Mostly it's station promos. Looks like the advertisers are bailing.
LOL !!!
It's good to see that Rush is pissing you guys off. He's not going anywhere.
So much for the concept of free speech.
Very relevant.
Advertising IS a numbers game. It comes down to ROI on their adverting dollar. Beck is still in the game and he has a large audience and is STILL charging top tier rates. All the majors jumping ship is just opportunity for others to try their hand at major radio campaigns. Controversial media has ALWAYS been this way, and in the end it always boils down to numbers, how many listeners and what they are charging for access to those listeners.
Point of interest Beck still has twice the audience then the NRA has members.
Glenn Beck suffered the biggest drop, losing 30% of his audience compared to the first quarter last year. But he wasn't alone. Top ranking O'Reilly lost 14% of his audience, Sean Hannity, up a spot from 2010, lost 19%, and Bret Baier, who pushed Beck out of the top three, lost 13%.

Cumulus: Nearly All Top Advertisers Have 'Exclude Rush Limbaugh' Orders
I really hope this is the beginning of the end for Rush. I also really hope this is a signal that the country is sick and tired of political garbage for entertainment and is more interested in real discussion.
Wonderful. He represents the ugly vulgar soul of Tea Party America, which needs to be ostracized and run out of town on a rail.
News Flash: Free speech also includes other people criticizing your speech.
We? How are you involved in the process?
You noticed the getting, "run out of town on a rail", part of Joaquin's post, right? Where in the Constitution is that part?
The actions taken by so many advertisers would indicate that this is not just a "fringe opinion."
But you're right. Advertisers only care about the money. And people have targeted Rush's advertisers with boycotts, causing them to lose money. Which is exactly why the advertisers are behaving this way. There will always be listeners and therefore always advertisers, but at some point the economics of his show might no longer work out.
Rush is a purveyor of terrible propaganda. His garbage poisons the minds of millions. He makes millions off the ignorance and gullibility of his audience. His downfall is a step towards progress, towards ridding America of ridiculous ultra right-wing belligerence. This is the root cause of much of what is wrong with America today.
"real discussion", being what, exactly?
Obama's doing all he can to do that for you.
You noticed the getting, "run out of town on a rail", part of Joaquin's post, right? Where in the Constitution is that part?
Republicans keep shooting down congressional efforts that would help my business.
Are you telling me you took that literally? Like, he was literally suggesting that Limbaugh be placed on a train car and sent beyond town lines? As if that would even stop a radio show?
Discussion devoid of racism, fear mongering, sexism, propaganda of every flavor imaginable. I have no problem with honest conservative ideals being promoted, but what he and others like him sling is a bastardized, poisonous mythology that has largely taken over the Republican party and is steering us in a bizarre, self defeating direction.
Are you telling me that you actually believe that, "run out of town on a rail", refers to a train ride? :rofl
just wow!
The problem therein with your comments, is that Libbos are going find racism, fear mongering and sexism in any comments that they disagree with. It's really the only way you all can combat Conservatism, because your own agenda is crap.
The problem is your attitude. Yes some people are so biased that they will invent arguments to support their cause, which is what I'm railing against, which is what Rush does, which is what you are doing now.
Turns out I'm not very familiar with archaic mob justice. "Just wow," indeed. What a failing in my personal character. However, you seem to have deliberately dodged the point.
So I'll ask you again. Do you think he was referring to literally carrying Rush Limbaugh around on a sharp wooden pole and dumping him at the city limits? Because I'm still under the impression that you did take it literally, and will keep that impression until shown otherwise. It certainly is an amusing thought.
So, which Conservatives do you enjoy listening to, who you've never considered to be racist, fear mongering sexists...be honest!
Censorship has a different definition than you think it does.
LOL !!!
