Sphere: Related Content
(From Drudge Top Headline) The American broadcast industry is rocked, realigned and blasted into a new orbit, yet again, by Rush Limbaugh, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.In what is being described as an unprecedented radio contract, Limbaugh will keep his syndicated show on-the-air and e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e through 2016 with CLEAR CHANNEL and PREMIERE RADIO.Already host of the most lucrative hours since radio’s inception, Limbaugh’s total package is valued north of $400 million, according to media insiders.
The NEW YORK TIMES will claim this weekend that Limbaugh, marking 20 years this summer as a national host, has secured a 9-figure signing bonus for the new deal, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
In its controversial profile, the TIMES reports that Limbaugh is buying a new G550 jet and is making an estimated $38 million a year.
While newspapers and traditional broadcast media are experiencing declining revenues, Limbaugh’s golden microphone has turned diamond-laced:
Earnings now pace him ahead of the annual salaries for network news anchors: Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer — combined!
The deal represents a stunning triumph over the establishment by an outsider who connected with and captured the spirit of the nation’s heartland.

Oh. My. God.
Can you imagine the seething hatred that must be rolling off of Katie Couric right now?
I fear for the Eastern Seaboard.
Glad to be out in Flyover Country!

Virulent White Nationalism, must be defeated! Right-Wing Provocateurs always get paid and until they don’t, Progressives essentially will be running in place. We need to get Limpbaugh and his ilk, ASAP!

because Limbaugh appeals to the baser side of humanity. Everything he states is easy to swallow because it satisfies core human instinctual values of greed, hate and bigotry. These are the easiest human impulses to activate because they require the least amount of thought.
Who was Bush_Horror2004, anyway?

Sadly, many humans have a strong tendency to harshly judge anyone with whom they disagree or do not identify. How much more civilize and civil would this world be if more people would GET ALL THE AVAILABLE FACTS about any giving issue or person, before they shoot off their mouths or condemn someone/something they really know very little about. Mistaking personal opinions/bias for facts is epedemic! How sad that an open human mind is becoming extinct.

Mrs. Snoop, you are my new hero of the blog. Sorry, Snoop, you’re all of a sudden second fiddle. A hothead rant with colorful language is admittedly entertaining (and full of good info), but I’m an old-fashioned word gal and what a joy it is to read concise, pithy prose delivered with standard spelling and punctuation yet nary an offensive word to be found.
I’m sorry, Snoop, I can’t help myself. I just have to say –
More from Mrs. Snoop! More from Mrs. Snoop!
I was predisposed to feel an affinity with you, Mrs. Snoop, after your kind words about my name and then when you referred to Snoop as your “darling husband” — it just so happens that is exactly how I refer to my darling husband!
It just kinda made me laugh at the time. I suspect that there is much alike in our brains!
And I know that I’m pretty much OT, but I thought a compliment was due for the genteel discourse.
