Except Matthews, and all the CNN/MSNBC crowd combined have an audience a fraction the size of Limbaugh's. Which fraction?

But I started thinking about all these guys feeding off each other. Limbaugh goes outrageous, so Mathews can get all huffy, and more people tune into to Limbaugh, Except Matthews, and all the CNN/MSNBC crowd combined have an audience a fraction the size of Limbaugh's. Even if this is true, which it isn't, it certainly is not something of which to be proud. I mean.....Rush?!! So then, why are you proud?

Limbaugh has, at most, 20 million listeners. Most Americans have never heard the guy, though they may have heard OF him.

That's because the CNN/MSNBC are limited by the truth and standards as well as competition. When you can say and do whatever you want, your core audience will love it. Rush tells the wingers of this country what they want to hear. We saw the same phenomenon with Beck. As soon as he moved to Fox and there were no restrictions on his content, his ratings soared. Of course, the problem comes back to wingers. They are the least educated, most biased people in our society. And they are a major problem. They are holding this nation back.
