Fox Comedy news telling the truth? When has that ever happened?
You have to factor in on the Rachel Maddow show, the gay set too. I wouldn’t expect them to watch Hannity.
I am sure I speak for all democrats in wishing Greta’s husband a speedy recovery….good luck….
McDonalds has higher standards than Fox Comedy news.
Looks like the Cable News numbers are back to normal now that the election and inauguration is over……

I can see where the left would be GREENBACKS with envy of old Rush. Think about he started a show that criticized the corrupt, secular, left wing, so-called objective media and made billions doing it.
The guy was an the original OG, on air GOP menace to the control of the corrupt, secular, left wing, so-called objective media.
Rush is an icon. He started with nothing but an idea and what an idea it was!

Yes, finding a bunch of schills who will listen to his show and buy any crappy product he promotes or even worse tries to sell because they are sheep. Have to give it to the man, it was a great money making idea.
Rush’s net worth is in the billions and growing everyday. He should get down on his knees and thank NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and all the other corrupt, secular, left wing, so-called objective media sources.
Letmethink
I agree. Several days ago I pretty much said the same thing. I was trying to address misinformation without replying directly to the poster. Big mistake by me!
Wherein a bunch of petty, nattering weirdos take vicarious pride in the success of others, as both an affirmation of their world view, and a temporary moment of forgetting their own comparative lack of accomplishment
and then back to reality.

No, his idea was do a show that catered to people who thought like he did but were not represented anywhere in the media.
Before I ever heard Limbuagh I thought the media were a bunch of left wing liars but often wondered if others felt the same way. Then came Rush and he taped into what we already knew. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

Matthew
I am simply acknowledging success you pompous wind bag.
Rush says what others don’t dare to say. For that he vilified in the corrupt, secular, left wing, so-called objective media.
I think Rush is wrong some of the time and I do think he slants things to fit his point of view. So what! The corrupt, secular, left wing, so-called objective media does the same thing all day. The difference is Rush is a radio guy with an opinion and the corrupt, secular, left wing, so-called objective media pretend to be objective news people.
They are the propaganda wing of the progressive movement.
@Papa
I just don’t understand how a guy who makes 50M a year feels the need hawking off cheap ass products like the EIB chairs or coffee mugs. Rush is a modern day snake oil salesman plan and simple.
Not directed at you in particular, more at the weirdness in general of people being so emotionally invested in “their people” doing well in television ratings. Fortunately, this phase of posting only lasts for 2 – 4 hours, before being replaced by the mewling, nattering circle-jerk of bad news, the self-reinforcing negative nonsense of people with too much time on their hands. Nothing personal. Cheers. Cheers
X is on fire, and I agree with X! Just think of the implications
ok bye
@
Mark
He gives all that money away. He has some class so he does not run around telling people how much money he gives away. The media that hates him would never tout his generosity. He is a very generous guy.
A lot more generous than a number of rich left wingers that come to mind.
@
Matthew
Alright you got me, my response was thin skinned.
Ohhhhhhh…..there goes that Jealousy again! Jealous of RUSH!
Come on, now, admit it…..I swear I won’t tell a soul. Honestly, I won’t.
I can see it’s eating you up because you’re obsessed. LOL.
