8. Desperation In Hate Radio Land...
While most of us were celebrating President Obama's innauguration, Cheap Channel, the owners of the largest radio group in the country (many that air the Rushbo Circus) fired 10% of their employees (nice move by the Bushbot Mays family...and by Bain Capital...a subsidiary of the Carlyle Group)...with more cuts on the way. Rushbo's radio world has been imploding...hate radio's influence and hey days have long passed. This is a desperate move for attention by Rushbo...get his name in the news in a vain hope this props up his poor ratings and crumbling advertising. It's a cry for help from the desperate...both politically and from a radio industry in total implosion.

I'd be more shocked if Rushbo had said something positive...also extremely suspect. His act is to whip up the hate and venom...draw listeners like a lunatic ranting on a soap box...get reactions and attention. Methinks this has less to do with anything "ideological"...but a desperate move by Rushbo and his corporate radio buddies to try to get some attention.
