Seriously, how is anything or anyone associated with the Rush Limbaugh show making money

[LynneSin]

Sure back in the heyday Rush Limbaugh's radio show was solid money in the bank. But today this guy probably has maybe a fraction of the listeners he use to have plus most of good advertisers have pulled their ads from his show. I'm not even sure who still spends money on the show except maybe Penile Enhancer Meds, Commerative Gold Coins and PSA.

My guess is someone is still funding this show, some billionaire(s) who can use $100 bills to run their fireplaces probably still propping this loser up so they still have a show.

1. I call it a national embarrassment that Rush is worth several hundred million from preaching hate

to the people of the nation. Hate African Americans, hate women, hate anyone seeking political and economic equality and parity.

2. The Koch brothers

Of course they would never lower themselves to listen to limbaugh's crap themselves but they know there are millions of dumbasses out ther who can be easily manipulated into voting for legislators who will pass laws that enrich - the Koch brothers.

Hell, it's worth a few million.

3. Yeah, I think it's all about throwing as steady supply of red meat

to the gibbering ditto-monkeys to keep them all riled up.

4. Some tractor company is one of his main advertisers

Also at least his 3rd or 4th computer security and backup company. He swears by them and then changes to another one.

BTW- he is still on Armed Forces Network radio. Not sure if they pay him.

He also gives his show away in the middle of the country to insure that he is coast to coast and inflate his lister number.

5. But that giveaway of his radio show only worked because the advertisers poured into the show

That's how these radio stations made money. Rush would make his money off of the national advertisers and local stations would get so many free spots for local ads where they could make money.

But more and more those radio stations are realizing that they aren't making any money off a 'free show'. Even if Rush's show is free it still costs money to operate it. I know in the Philly area his show is getting dropped or moved to less prominate time slots.

7. Yes that is true. BTW his numbers are collapsing in California

6. If Limbaugh got cancelled

his idiot listeners would say Obama forced the show off the air. Guaranteed.

8. Clear Channel is still losing money in this deal

There is no way that Clear Channel is making any money on this deal

9. I'm doing my part

I don't just boycott and contact the advertisers that advertise during Limbaugh or Hannity's shows...I contact the local advertisers and any others that advertise DURING ANY PROGRAM...AT ANY TIME OF DAY on ANY station that provides a platform for this hate.

They are just as much to blame for this asshat! The local stations are the ones that still give him a fucking platform.

I don't care if they do nothing but sports for the rest of the day...if they broadcast 1 fucking second of this hate-filled crap, I'm not buying anything advertised at any time during the rest of their programming.
