Seems things aren't going so swimmingly for our man Rush:

Also keep in mind it is a CBS poll ... Rush hasn't painted CBS in a positive light for a very long time ... Now, if it was a FOX poll that said Rush was having major problems, thenI'd be agreeing with you (if a right leaning media station says he is having problems, then he must be having some major problems)


It'd be akin to a FOX poll showing the presidents' approval rating at 20%.

that's an approval rating - not a reflection of how many listeners he has tuning in on a daily basis. apparently he's doing something right, if now even CC is checkin in on him.

well, that won't work! it puts a negative spin on his show in your mind, i'm sure. he should use it as a reward for when you're a good girl!

a snippet from his site:





"Revenues at the EIB Network in the first quarter of 2009 are up 13.5% over first quarter revenues of 2008, and at our revenue baseline, that is not an insignificant percentage or amount represented by it. Now, here's the difference, or here's the thing. This fact that I have recently imparted... Oh, and I can share with you that we have just finished an analysis of Arbitron listening data for... What is it? Is it January-February or February-March? It could be all three months; I'd have to check the e-mail. But the cume audience, which means total bodies, is up 32%. Now, when you're starting at a baseline of 20, 22 million, 32% is a significant number in the cume -- and that's total listeners. That's not getting into demographics; it's total listeners."





a 32% increase in Q1 '09? not too shabby.

Rush has the biggest audience of any radio talk show host, and I think he may be the best paid talk show host anywhere. Seems to me things are going just fine for El Rushbo.


The only way the poor lefties are getting him off the air is if they make it illegal for him to broadcast. Which they'd very much like to do, BTW.

Nah, I for one do NOT want him "off the air", since as long as he is the de facto head of the extreme rightie Rs, they (you?)will NOT be in power!

that is funny.... calling Rush the de facto head of anything (other than talk radio), is akin to calling Al Gore a meteorologist!
