Related: About this forumPapantonio: Last Breath of Air For Conservative Rats
There are plenty of experiments that have been done that show that when you cage rats in an area with limited space, and limited food, those rats will become ruthless to the point that they destroy and even cannibalize each other in the end. It's called the principle of competitive exclusion.
It's what we can expect to see happening now that the Oxycontin windbag is not so sure about what the future holds for him and his gold Limbaugh microphone. Chances are, even if Cumulus does allow that $20 million dollar a year waste of money which they pay the washed up dinosaur to continue his hate radio, things will be different going forward. Yes, some other old world radio executive will find a home for the Rush hate talking has-been he doesnt just amble off to the elephant dying grounds like he should if he wasnt so shameless. But hate talk radio is experiencing a sea change that will inevitably cause rats to eat rats.

(1,262 posts)2. These people like Rush are just performers
This shows exactly the cynical theater of public media -- including all the so-called mainstream "news" these days. It's an entertaining carnival sideshow - a distraction from what's actually happening to the world - if we could only agree on what that is.
Hate Clowns or Classy Neo Liberal Crypto-Corporatist Presidents, all we get is Vaudeville.
If we're lucky.

and we are merely players
performers and portrayers
each another's audience
outside the gilded cage"
oh wait, wrong Rush. That happens to me a lot.
