goes from 150 likes to over 5500 likes in less than an hour on their facebook page.

But if you go to see who LIKES them, it is filled with people from Turkey and India. Did Clear Channel pay per LIKE?

See here.

I need to get a screenshot of this somehow.

Spread the word.

1. Well, what about Rusty Perkins, in Hawthorne, CA???

..

10. I will NEVER unsee that.

(wish we had a "severe psychological trauma" smilie).

2. I think that I just heard somewhere (can't remember where - maybe Stephanie Miller?)

that companies do pay people (usually working from overseas) to bump up their LIKE numbers. Given the hits that Rush has taken lately in advertisers and the advancing age of his audience - it would not surprise me that Clear Channel would do this.

3. First thing I did Jan 1

Was to erase KTLK 1150 from my car radio.

Now it's The Mic from Madison on I Heart Radio.

Hello again Stephanie and Randi!

4. same here. In fact I deleted my I Heart Radio app altogether

and I stream another progressive station directly.

5. I'm confused

KTLK is a local station for me and they were progressive until Jan 1.

I Heart is on my smartphone and I get what I want.

12. KTLK was the only thing I used I Heart Radio for

6. Same here.

What a bummer of a way to start the morning. Thought I'd tune into Mama for some laughs and instead there was some blowhard, dickwad spewing rightwing lies. I couldn't erase KTLK fast enough.

So yeah now it's iHeart the Mic and there's also 880 in Asheville and am 760 in Colorado.

13. Use the "Progressive Voices" channel on TuneIn instead...

If you choose any over-the-air broadcast station, you'll be liable to have to go through it all again when the plug gets pulled on that one as well...as many of us ex-KPTK listeners in Seattle found out after we had switched to Reno's (former) KJFK, only to have that station change format a few months later.

And that goes double for any station owned by ClearChannel (which is the case with all stations on iHeartRadio).

15. Thanks, just downloaded the TuneIn app to my phone

14. I dumped 960AM off my radio in SF after they dumped their last progessive programming. Rush, barf.

7. Worst. Marketing Expenditure. Ever.

8. For screen shots, I use Jing...

It's free to download and easy to use.

9. Selling social media clicks becomes big business, AP, 1/5/14

Celebrities, businesses and even the U.S. State Department have bought bogus Facebook likes, Twitter followers or YouTube viewers from offshore "click farms," where workers tap, tap, tap the thumbs up button, view videos or retweet comments to inflate social media numbers.

For as little as a half cent each click, websites hawk everything from LinkedIn connections to make members appear more employable to Soundcloud plays to influence record label interest.

In 2013, the State Department, which has more than 400,000 likes and was recently most popular in Cairo, said it would stop buying.

It's a lucrative business, said the president and CEO of WeSellLikes.com. "The businesses buy the Facebook likes because they're afraid that when people go to their Facebook page and they only see 12 or 15 likes, they're going to lose potential customers,"

11. Just another reason

I don't give a rats ass about social media and their likes.

Those that place import on this crap are seriously in need of psych help.

Social lemmings IMO.
