So in other words the same approach to manning up, as the approach to betting.

Dumb shit, since you are far less than honest and have no working knowledge of manning up, your bleatings are quite meaningless.
My "approach" to betting is to honor bets. It involves something you have no ability to fathom from real life experience: honesty.
Shit for brain dishonest hack bitches (like you) apparently wish to pretend that if two people make a bet but one has to "leave" before the bet comes to term, that the "bet" nevertheless continues.
I believe the terms of your Welsh rare-bet were that if you lost you would exit and not return. That's an action entirely on you; doesn't depend on whether anyone else is here or not. Everybody on the site could "leave"; you would still have the obligation.
Well, you lost, loser, and you
failed to honor your own bet just as you
failed to justify your prior claims. Conclusion: you are a dishonest hack.
Now back to our regularly scheduled threadgram:
>> This is inevitable. In order to maintain a top radio show, you have to continually draw new audience members in from the younger generations as the older one move onto other forms of entertainment.
The problem here is, Limbaugh's radio audience has always been Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, who carried him through his heyday during the conservative surge of the 1990s and early 2000s. Additionally, Limbaugh's audience has always been AM radio listeners who have never had an interest in Internet radio or podcasts. I know Limbaugh runs his program in podcast format and Internet streaming but I highly doubt he's carried high ratings here.
Now cut to 2013. Gen Xers are becoming increasingly disinterested in the conservative movement and the Conservative Baby Boomers are literally dying out, diminishing the audience for Limbaugh and Hannity, etc. Add to that Gen Y and Millennials don't give a shit about Limbaugh, and he has an audience growing smaller and smaller every day with no prospects of reversing this. And also radio is shifting over to the Internet and satellite subscription services - at least good radio is - because the audience can get more of the shows they want when they want them, no commercial breaks and they don't have the FCC's politeness police breathing down their necks (yet).
This makes Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, Medved, Savage, and their conservative ilk dinosaurs in a brave new world which can't support them. And it definitely can't support their asking salaries. Limbaugh once bragged in a Rolling Stone article about being paid $80 million a year plus a nine figure signing bonus for his current contract with Clear Channel. But he also got that much when he could pull 15 million listeners a week (he's not doing that now!). And his audience has become fickle with him. During his last controversy where he called Georgetown student Sandra Fluke a slut for demanding that Obamacare cover birth control, six major sponsors and a quarter of Limbaugh's audience threatened to walk away from the show, prompting Rush to apologize on air for the remark. Clearly Rush does not draw the number of WASP males required to support this kind of ideology he used to. <<
