Of course he's lying. He always lies about his audience size. Take his claims about gaining audience after the Fluke crap. He claims to have 22 million and his audience was never larger. Right there it contradicts his claim of 40 million per day, but it also contradicts past claims of having an audience of over 22 million. He can lie about anything because his audience is too stupid to remember what he says from day to day.

RUSH: I'm telling you, it's the same thing with this stupid bunch of idiots, the Center for Science and the Public Interest. It's probably three idiots -- three anorexic, pallid idiots -- and they claim to represent the entire health industry, or they're given that kind of weight. Meantime,
this audience is 22 million -- and we're learning, by the way, it's even larger than that. I can't give away trade secrets, but there's a revolutionary new way that radio ratings are being taken, and it's been tested in a couple cities and we're finding in Philadelphia, the "cume" is twice what we thought it was. It's going to be awhile before they roll this out into all of the markets that are rated. But it's going to be
even more than 22 million people.

RUSH: We haven't lost any audience in this program.*
The audience is larger than it's ever been... But the advertisers who've really been hurt are the ones who've abandoned here. I just assume everybody understood that. Let me tell you:
We have 22 million people here who have stopped patronizing these people, stopped patronizing them. It's major in many instances, the harm that has been inflicted.
Rush was lying. We can wait for thanatos inability to post numbers to prove it.
20 million people weekly.
Down from over 40 million a day only a year ago!!! Unless the pathological liar was lying.

RUSH:. According to reports at the peak of The Oprah's popularity, her show had
40 million weekly viewers. Now, that's not bad.
That's almost as many as we have every day here. So our hat's off to The Oprah, 40 million viewers a week, not bad.
