Rush: Limbaugh Letter
built 290 days ago
Retriever  > Arts  > Music
Rush Limbaugh is using his "Limbaugh Letter" to mislead his audience into accepting the spurious charge that Sadam and Al Queda were linked and had operational ties. Rush made the unusual step of making this content available to the public, not restricting it to "24/7" subscribers. An analysis of the Limbaugh Letter article entitled, "Iraq Al Queda Links" shows the amazingly porous nature of what Limbaugh insists constitutes proof of the war justifying link. Meanwhile, over 1700 Americans have died, the public spends more than 1 billion per week and Limbaugh laughs all the way to the bank.
Franken, best-selling author of such anti-conservative tomes as "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot," chose to go head-to-head with gabber Limbaugh in many markets. This, it turns out, was not such a good idea.

Rush announced his adopt a solider program. This amounts to soliciting money from listeners to buy Rush 24/7 and Limbaugh Letter subscriptions to be "given" to the active troops. Of course the obvious question becomes how generous is Rush really being with this? Rush and Premiere Radio stand to reap millions from the pockets of listeners. Do the troops really benefit? They need things such as flack jackets and up-armored humvees.
In Los Angeles, KFI, the station carrying Rush Limbaugh, lost nearly 15% of its market share, dropping from a 4.6 to a 3.9. KABC, another conservative talk station continuing the pattern for right-wing radio, fell from a 2.3 to a 2.1. Air America's brand-new affiliate KTLK, 1150 AM, gained in the first quarter of its existence, going from a 0.3 to a 0.8, an increase of more than 140%. Most in the radio business say that it takes 18 months for a new station to establish a consistent ratings pattern, but if early indications mean anything, AAR is in for tremendous success in the nations #2 radio market.
