Rush Limbaugh's ratings fall

I suppose I should clarify... there's a difference between having a radio on in the background and "Listening" to that radio that's on in the background.
For the most part I'll take the radio over T.V. any day. Radio only ties up my hearing while I can use my other senses for other things!
It's not hard to understand the appeal of Rush Limbaugh. The US has gone tribal, and he speaks to a specific group of people united by worldview. Their identity is defined in opposition to the established order.
But will he be worse than Hilary? Yes, he is so bad they will elect another Democrat. The Reps better get their dinosaur act together, if they want to see the Oval Office again.
I hear ol' Rush is planning a follow-up book with Rush Revere loading up his pockets with non-prescription Viagra and heading for a known pedophilia tourist destination without an adult female companion.
You listen to ol' Rush a lot. Did he ever explain what he was doing in the Domincan Republic with a bottle of illegal Viagra and no adult female companion?
I'm not judging, mind. I figure it's entirely possible he was too f*cked up on illegal opioids to know what he was doing.
Thanks for the reddie, Walter.

Maybe maybe not.
If Hillary does not run I would not be so sure about a Democrat winning Kreskin.
Yeah... that dinosaur party that keeps rising from the matt each time people like you say they're gone forever.
After Obama first inauguration folks like you said the GOP is gone forever. Two years later they swept the Dems from the House of Representatives and almost took the Senate. Dems didn't learn.
Then after Obama's second inauguration folks like you said the same thing. Now the Dems are worried about losing the Senate!
Rising from Matt? I didn't even know the Republiklans were going down on Matt.
Wow, I'm really out of the loop.
Lots of people are against the "established order" and hate this guy. As the most listened to radio personality in the US, he is very much a part of the established order.
"Conservative and cranky" seems like a much more accurate description of their identity.
It's all our little buddy has half the time.
Likely a bad habit carried on through public school where he developed a deviated septum from repeated beatings due to this pencil-sphincteritis.
He should laugh more, smoke some weed or try getting laid instead.
Not sure if Jerry would do well on radio.
Besides, Jerry needs to bring back the fighting like we have in hockey.
Whatever it takes to divert attention from the fact that your hero is a convicted drug offender and suspected child molester.
Now now....you can't demean someone completely without including "bogot" or "racist"
From Bad To Worse: Limbaugh's California Ratings Debacle Deepens
The syndicated talker, who for two decades has been universally regarded as the most popular and powerful AM talker in the country, continues to wallow in obscurity in the nation's second largest radio market. According to recently released ratings from Nielsen Audio, Limbaugh's California flagship station, KEIB, now ranks 39th in the Los Angeles market, attracting an anemic .5 ratings share. (A ratings share represents the percent of those listening to radio in the market who are tuned into a particular station.)
The tumble to 39th place represents yet another downward lurch -- in March the station logged in at 37th place. Note that there are a total of 45 rated stations in the Los Angeles market, which means Limbaugh's KEIB station (the call letters mirror Limbaugh's motto, "Excellence in Broadcasting") has nearly reached the ratings basement.
And yes, Limbaugh's syndicator, Clear Channel-owned Premier Networks, pays the talker $50 million a year.

Rush Limbaugh was awarded the “Author of the Year” from the Children's Choice Book Awards, and declared, “It was a big deal.”
No, it’s not. The award is not fake. It’s the notion that it represents any kind of merit that’s phony.
The Children's Choice Book Award is given to the person who wins the most online votes on the award's website, and according to the Boston Herald's blog The Edge, the folks behind the award have no way of verifying that only children voted, nor do they have a mechanism in place that prevents people from voting multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple times. I'm not sure what's sadder: the fact that Rush Limbaugh won a children's literature award, or the fact that he probably won it by prompting his fans to vote for him. Just picture it: Rush's butt-boys stood there hitting refresh over and over again, freedom-boners rising against their patriot zippers as they Did Literally The Least They Could Possibly Do for their country.
The nominations are based on book sales, and the award is given to the book that receives the most votes online with no way to restrict who votes or how often, and nothing about the award represents merit.
These scam awards were created by the Children’s Book Council (CBC), a trade association of children’s book publishers who seek to promote literacy but especially like to sell more books.
The irony here is that even though this scam award is just a popularity contest, three of Rush’s fellow nominees in the category (Rick Riordan, Veronica Roth, and Jeff Kinney) actually beat out Rush by a wide margin in 2013 sales according to Nielsen Bookscan, which tracks 80% of all book sales (and Kinney also beat Rush in sales on Amazon). So Rush didn’t have the most book sales.
