Once again, the DUmmies are dreaming about Limbaugh's demise.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
