Related: About this forumRush is dependent on government sponsored, taxpayer funded Ad Council spots.
The Free Market has spoken and they want him off the air.Rush now has an utter dependency on government sponsored, taxpayer funded handouts from the Ad Council.
It's like he feels entitled to these Ad Council handouts. I don't know why he thinks we should have to pay for his blovating. And I definitely don't want the tape.

to the community? That's what I've always thought. Not that rush isn't a big fat sick liar thoiugh, he is.

He doesn't get money for the running the spots, but taxpayer money is used to produce them, and his show is depending on them to maintain the illusion of a legitimate sponsored show.
