Time Magazine Affirms - Rush Limbaugh Is In Trouble
It seems the larger mainstream media outlets like Time Magazine are starting to realize that 'small-fry' social media outlets have become a force to be reckoned with.
Last week, I published a Daily Kos diary about Wall Street Journal radio statistics. The industry numbers confirmed social media campaigns are winning the fight against hate radio, namely Rush Limbaugh. And now, Time Magazine is jumping in. Both are seeing social media groups like StopRush, BoycottRush, and FlushRush cause Rush Limbaugh to lose sponsors, radio stations, and market standings. And these groups are supported by larger social media news organization/blogs like Daily Kos, Media Matters, Liberals Unite, Addicting Info, Politico, and PoliticusUSA, who continue to cover stories about the Limbaugh protest. Despite all of Limbaugh's money and best efforts to squelch the protest, it just keeps growing.
Time Magazine writer, Brian Rosenwald, chimed in on Wednesday. Rosenwald is completing his doctoral dissertation. In this article he discusses how talk radio has changed politics/public policy, and how now, the internet is changing talk radio. For decades, Limbaugh could get away with atrocities like making up sick songs about AIDS victims and getting away with it. Rosenwald goes on to say it's very different now:
Today, by contrast, every word that Limbaugh says is broadcast and archived. Watchdog groups, such as Media Matters, scrutinize every word, waiting to blast any potentially offensive statements out to the world. Whereas the opinions of non-listeners might have been irrelevant in 1988 and a boycott hard to organize, someone who considered the Elba comments to be racist could easily use social media to pressure advertisers to remove their ads from Limbaugh’s program (as many did in 2012 after Limbaugh insulted Georgetown student Sandra Fluke).
Most folks following the protest know that current campaigns not only pressured advertisers in 2012, they have continued to do so for three years.

The libs love persecuting Rush no matter how unjustly...

Chrissy "Tingle" Matthews is in a snit for owebuma being called un American.
But Chrissy had no hesitation when calling Rush un American.

Time Magazine Affirms - Rush Limbaugh Is In Trouble
I'll believe that in 24 business hours but only if I'm told to bank on it.

You can bank on it in 24 business hours....tell'em I said the check is good.

Rush is trembling. :whatever:
People that have no concept of business should not be discussing things that involve making a profit.
-
Brian should do well with a doctorate in Limbology.

Even if it's true, I doubt that Limbaugh cares. He's 60yo and hauling in several hundred million a year gets old and monotonous after 26 years. There's only so many places to stuff that kind of large.
I see him retiring in the next 5 years. Leaving the only question: Who will be groomed to be his replacement? Steyn?

Hannity.

Hannity.
Don't think so. Hannity has his own FOX News TV show and his own syndicated Radio show. Steyn just has a newspaper column and sometimes guest hosts for Rush. Another candidate would be Walter Williams, the economist.
-

Maybe they'll meet Rush in person ... at the bank.
Has there been any year since 1987 when Libs & Progs were not predicting Rush's imminent ruin?
-
Even if every station in the country dropped Limbaugh tomorrow, he can live better for the rest of his life than any DUmmie can dream of doing.
-

Doubt if it will be Walter Williams, he's 79 years old.
Steyn is good, smart as hell, and funny as all getout, but he ain't no Rush.
There can only be one Rush Limbaugh, and he is it.
Now, if Ben Carson is available... :whatever:
What does this make now, "Rush is a Goner", take 4,728? DUmmies will never learn, Rush will leave when HE wants to, not before, and there ain't a DAMNED thing they can do about it! :rotf:

Is that the guy who calls himself the Black Avenger ?
I would love for him to be just as successful or better.

Ben Carson is way too soft-spoken for radio. He doesn't have that fire and brimstone voice that's needed. IMO

Yeah, and Andrew Wilkow on Sirius/XM has it in spades!
So does Levin.
I'm sure someone will fill the void, somewhat, but it's a vast void to fill...
-
They really obsess about Rush Limbaugh. :mental:
-
Time stop printing a long time ago...no one would buy their magazine.
So now its just a few liberals with the "Time" logo and a website. They make a living off of add revenue. When the great Time Magazine says anything, it doesn't toss the weight around like it used too.
Nadin and Wee Willie ought to apply at Time. They will make as much as they do now, and will have far greater bragging rights.

To prove your point: Does anyone know who the person of the year has been the past few years?
-
Lucy: Paging Charlie Brown to the brown football. Charlie Brown to the brown football.
ION: Rush is less than 24 business hours from being destitute and broke without a 25 million person audience radio news outlet speaking truth to power.

Time "magazine" isn't exactly known to have any conservative leanings. Who gives a RA, what they say?

DD, my wife and I met Andrew Wilkow and Sean Hannity at an appearance by the latter in Schenectady NY. It was April 1st, 2004. Wilkow mentioned to us that this was a great day for him, or words to that effect, because he was meeting--and talking with--someone who had influenced him to go into talk radio. Both came off as good guys. Wilkow went on to bigger and better things after WGY.

You sure didn't see conservatives trying to knock olbermann off the air...

I listen to replays of his shows on my way to work in the mornings (3-6am) on Sirius/XM. I LOVE to hear him rip some DUmbass a new one! LOL!

"Bank it."
Rush won't be in trouble until his listenership starts tanking faster than Time's readership.
-
Liberals trying to squash free speech and failing miserably.
-
Time magazine also affirmed that the only reason that Slow Joe Biden gets away with constantly pawing and rubbing himself on other men's wives and daughters is because he's a Dem http://time.com/3713264/joe-biden-stephanie-carter-shoulder-rub/, but you probably won't hear much about that at the dump.
-

At least...
-
Omaha Steve would hit the lottery and be dating Kate Upton before Rush is forced off the air due to low rating or whatever the latest DUmmypocolypse is.

Keeff needed no help. He should have stayed with the Sports Talk, like he's doing now, again.
-

Whenever a lib/prog/commie hears/faces/realizes there are other ideas other than theirs, and most/all of those ideas are better than theirs, they still refuse to accept them. It's what they do. It's not their idea, therefore, it doesn't exist.
It's the lib/prog/commie "grownup" version of :lalala:

There's no way I would have written a complaint about Keithie to MesSNBC or advertisers on his show. First, they would have taken a complaint from me as praise. Second, my complaint would have been perceived as evidence that he had viewers.
-
Hannity.
I hope not. I really dislike his shows.
-
When Rush finally retires you can bet that the libs at DU take credit for it.

Like Paul Harvey, I think Rush will either retire when it's no longer enjoyable for him, or when he is physically unable (in some way) to do it.

I've been looking for an issue of Time so I could read the article for myself, but I can't seem to find one.

The waiting room in your dentist's office might have a copy.
Unless they switched to a television showing Fox News to occupy people while waiting.

Doctors and dentists need to update their magazines more often.
The last time I was in a dentist's waiting room, their copy of Time Magazine had Roosevelt on the cover...
Teddy Roosevelt :rimshot:

Never heard of it.

It was his own doing.

And why would conservatives want such a buffoonish example of Lib/Prog ideology off the air?

I wish Rush would father a bunch of kids. We need his DNA to keep spreading :-)

Put his semen in turkey basters and sell them to DUmmie lesbians.

I thought you could park it.
Oh well...

Conservatives don't really have to do anything to get Olberman off the air. His own actions took care of that with MSNBC.

I do not know who will be groomed but I think Dana Loesch would make a good replacement.
-
And Rush continues to laugh all the way to the bank.
His Rush Revere books can't stay on the shelves and are outselling every other children books in every instance.
He still has sponsors lined up and millions listen to him every day.

Let him do them without Condoms is a better idea :popcorn:
