Oh the sweet sound of nothing for 100 seconds of ’dead air’ on the Fox News Radio Network’s Rush Limbaugh Show. What does that mean? It means Limbaugh is losing the war. It means the American public and consumers are winning, and it’s another unmistakable sign that Limbaugh’s days as ‘King of Hate Radio’ are over.

A very bad year it’s been for Rush Limbaugh. For decades, he has spun his blatant racism, sexism and bigotry. He has no filter, no shame. There are lists of his offenses. It’s nothing for him to mock a disabled man, call a little girl ugly, link same-sex/equal marriage to pedophilia or make demeaning remarks about the poor and homeless. He can be quite the idiot as well, saying there was never a national budget surplus under President Clinton or calling global warming a ‘hoax.’ Media Matters has an archive of audio/text going back six years, containing a plethora of malicious commentary for anyone to check.

Limbaugh’s parent company, Clear Channel, and the FCC did not budge. So the people took matters into their own hands and began contacting his sponsors, telling them they would not buy products that supported or sponsored the Rush Limbaugh Show. What happened? Over 2600 sponsors pulled their ads to date. And the results? DEAD AIR






Dead air? There's gotta be a joke in that somewhere.

1. Dead air over the air waves or between Rush's ears?

I think Limbaugh is a vile, disgusting person. I also feel sorry for him. He has to be absolutely miserable inside to feed such hatred. I know he's got to hate what he sees when he looks in the mirror, and he probably knows the only reason anyone really pretends to care or show interest in him is because he has money.

If he didn't have money, he'd just be an unattractive, overweight, loud mouthed, obnoxious jerk...and people wouldn't tolerate it because there's no $$$.

3. The dead air is between his ears.

4. While I detest Limbaugh

You do know that he doesn't work for Fox Radio network.

It isn't my industry, and I don't know the inner workings of the Faux/Koch Brothers/Clear Channel/Cumulus Media connections. But this seems sloppy to make such a claim. Some of the comments at the link you provided back that up.

Just saying.

5. 100 seconds is a lot of airtime money.

I hope Pigman ends up losing it all.
