One problem with that though...if so few people hate him or don't like him why do the advertisers still spend millions if not billion's around the U.S. paying for it? Well the main reason is lot's of listeners do like him. So many in fact that the businesses have spent millions by now in polling and focus groups and found lot's of the listeners do listen to him and it's not because he is free...maybe in the beginning like most talk shows...but once they get such a huge fan base it changes.

So this Bill Mann needs to go back to business school and Isuggest a class or two in Micro or Macro Economics and some other business classes like marketing and others and all one has to do is follow the money. Where does the money come from one ask...well it comes from consumers...because if it was not for the consumer/listner of the show the companies would not through away money even in a tight economy as we are in for Rush or for anyone.

Keep in mind most radio stations especially A.M radio stations struggle to keep going and the BIGGEST listening hours lately have been according to Arbitron, top five programs include those of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Michael Savage. Others include Neal Boortz, Mark Levin, Bill O'Reilly (until his retirement from radio in early 2009).

So please let's focus on what radio is...it's a BUSINESS!! One if you tell the people what they want to hear and most likely the truth you will keep radio advertising dollars floating in. Not some half baked explanation of things. Besides how many "liberal" radio announcers are there? Hmmmmm yeah none come to mind. Even Dennis Miller was liberal before 9/11 and he switched to conservative radio. They attempted liberal radio sure...Janine Galopero or how ever you want to say her name and Al Franken (don't take his election as a case in point....Minnesota on average is more liberal than most).

Point is Dollars speak. Am I conservative or liberal...I am neither. What I am is someone who want's a straight answer and the right answer and more about business sense and dollars than the BS coming out of a politicians lieing mouth or someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

Sorry that was my rant for the day. I have nothing against the woman for posting just the person who wrote the article.
