Of course, the article did not say "merely", it only reported the facts. The reader can make up their own mind as to whether it was "merely". Rush was chosen because of his proven success in the military/government Sacramento market with a show promoting Ollie North in his Congressional hearings, if you recall those. Limbaugh's success is due to one thing and one thing only: He is THE exceptional talent in the field he is working in. NOBODY comes close. Limbaugh is a total professional at entertaining his audience, and runs a show that has first-rate production and does it with a level of skill that few other individuals possess. The production involves great topic selection and call screening. Limbaugh's skills involve cutting quickly to the point in such a way as to keep the show interesting. Others possessing these skills, although not at the level of Limbaugh's, are Bruce Williams and Dr. Laura. That a talent such as Limbaugh would have received serious promotion is no surprise. I listened to him in '88 and found him to be pompous, but mostly correct. While I don't listen to him today, his audience has continued to exist because he is entertaining.
