Somewhere I read that Rush's people inflate the numbers to bamboozle the local radio stations. Something to do with advertising. I can't remember what the deal was, but they had a unique arrangement - the stations got the show for free somehow and it really bumped up his listenership. It's not Google-worthy.

Sandra Fluke is a distant memory but Rush will come to life in about 3 hours. What happened to the boycott?

I am on my iPhone so I'm not going to Google right now, but long story short the ratings numbers everyone used to cite came from Clear Channel and not a ratings service. Clear Channel owns Limbaugh. During the slut episode it came out that not only were the numbers from Clear Chanel--they were something like 7 years old.

Rush is either losing money for his owners or his earnings are way down. Not Google-worthy.

Well, now that I can Google, I'm not finding the information that I remember reading. But I am finding lots of links that confirm that the much-touted 20 million figure was never true to begin with. And that his ratings appear to be slipping in any case. So my contention is true regardless of my memory.

The broadcasting landscape s strewn with bodies of those who tried to dethrone Rush. Remember Air America?
