Maybe the division pimps on BOTH sides will have to find real fucking jobs.
The country would be a lot better off without them.

Actually HD Radio gives AM the quality of FM, and FM the quality of a CD.

Or maybe you can dislodge you head from your ass and speak of things you know about because you obviously dont know shit about Rush Limbaugh
You have to understand they attack Libs for not listening to their MessiahRushie while also claiming that mostly Libs listen to him and CON$ only find out what he said by reading Libs posting about him..

I listen to him when I can, at least a few hours per week.
Please explain.

LOL. Most ironic post seen here yet. You should do a little homework before chastising someone's ignorance. The "Fairness Doctrine" is what kept political talk shows from radio.The immeasurable profundity of your abject ignorance never ceases to astound me.
Talk radio was around long before Blush Limblob was even born. This guy for example was notorious and cultivated an audience way bigger than Limblob ever had, in the 1930s:
This guy was big too... started his talk show in 1955:
KMOX and KABC went all-talk format as long ago as 1960 -- 54 years ago. A decade later many more started following suit as AM radio lost music listeners to the superior fidelity of FM.
Where I grew up there was a successful talk radio station on FM, which started doing that around 1975. All of this was long before Lush Rimjob.
As for your complete xenophobic ignorance that can't tell the difference, the Gabor sisters were Hungarian, while Arianna Huffington is Greek. Not even vaguely related.
"They all look alike to me", right?
Finally, it's spelled Zsa Zsa.
Be sure to alert me when next you grace these pages with your sterling wisdom.
Talk radio has a long history. There were local talk shows in many markets in the 1950s but it was a specialty format, not something you found up and down the entire dial. Local issues were the primary asset perhaps because the nation was much different. JFK was screwing anything in skirts. Jackie was spending weekends in Newport with her latest. Everybody in the press knew it but the prevailing attitude was that none of it was important - and it really wasn't. Not until LBJ (I heard "Little Bitty Jesus" for the first time on talk radio) did the national scene become a viable topic but, even then, on local radio with local hosts.
BTW, I'm defining "talk shows" as those structured to take calls from listeners. If you want to work with a more broad definition then Google these: Joe Pine. Long John Nebel. Gene Shepherd. That'll get you back to 1948.
A whole different kind of talk radio until the demise of the constipating "Fairness Doctrine" - then the gloves came off.
At some point talk radio will fall out of fashion. The smarter hosts will take the money and run. Some will linger too long. I give you Don Imus, once #1, now #9 and dwindling.
The biggest impediment to the demise of talk radio is that nobody has yet figured out what would replace it. Various music formats have come and gone. Mostly moved over to FM stations where potential quality is far better than AM (as we know it today) can offer and where stereo actually works. Never mind that many of the radios the mass audience is using (other than in vehicles) produces sound quality about equal to a tin ear trumpet.
You can see some inroads in major markets where "all sports" formats are growing like moss on your cheap asphalt roof. But the other route is ethnic. Show me a major market without at least two "Hispanic" formats. Check out places like Baghdad-by-The-Bay where there are competing formats in each of several Chinese dialects and some languages so obscure as to be unidentifiable in most of the country.
Yes, Rush Limbaugh's vogue will run out. Naturally run out. What's comic is the great screeching flock of liberals trying so hard to silence him with no regard to what their own success will inevitably to do with all freedom of speech, including boards like this.
Rage on. libs.....you know I'm right and you just can't stand it!

A Brief History Of the Fairness Doctrine - TIME
"The doctrine stayed in effect, and was enforced until FCC chairman Mark Fowler began rolling it back during Reagan's second term — despite complaints from some in the Administration that it was all that kept broadcast journalists from thoroughly lambasting Reagan's policies on air. In 1987, the FCC panel repealed the Fairness Doctrine altogether with a 4-0 vote."
Rush took advantage of it and aired his first show in August 1988. You libs made him filthy stinking rich with crap like this. Keep feeding your nemesis, he's laughing all the way to the bank.

You are a true moron. And I say that because there are many pretenders here.
See those guys in the pictures above? BOTH of them had political talk radio shows, as did others, back to 1926. Yes, Reagan's Mark Fowler did gut the FD in the '80s but it never muzzled anybody from delivering opinion anyway; it required a balance when an aggrieved party asked for time to respond ---- in other words exactly what we do here when poster A gets to respond back to what poster B just said. So you're engaging in the internet version of the Fairness Doctrine right here yet you don't understand what it is.
Matter of fact when Edward R. Murrow put his exposé of Joe McCarthy on TV in 1954, McCarthy requested, under the Fairness Doctrine, air time to respond, and got it. They gave him the whole show to respond however he wanted. Is it your contention that McCarthy should not have been allowed to respond then? You want monologue?
Better stick to what you know, Homer. Lip-syncing Sean Hannity's bullshit isn't gonna fly here. Why not? Because you'll get a response, that's why.

Ed Morrow was way ahead of his time. He was a politically aware reporter who attacked (only) republicans and he was careful not to ruffle the feathers of the FDR or the Truman administrations. McCarthy wasn't important until the liberal media turned him into a target. He didn't even head up a senate committee. Democrats were in charge of HUAC but Morrow didn't seem interested in the real issues. He was only interested in a soft targets and ratings. The liberal media absolutely controlled all information available to the public for most of the 20th century. Cronkite was a crooked old liberal who managed to become "the most trusted person in America" simply by reading scripts on TV. The radical left is angry and frustrated over fair and balanced media and they will never stop hating Limbaugh or Fox.
Uh-- what did you say here that was political? That line on the end that thinks Liberals, creators of the First Amendment, would want to "silence" somebody? Again... saying so doesn't make it so.
I'd take issue with your definition -- there's no reason a talk show would feature call-ins; that's a call-in show (and technically eliminates Limblob anyway), which goes back to Barry Gray in the mid-'40s... and when you mention 1948 you somehow left out Alan Courtney. But "talk radio" in the form of a demagogue ranting on the air goes back considerably before that to Charles Coughlin, whose rhetoric for his time (the '30s) rivaled Slutgate.
And this show goes back to 1935:
Clearly all this went on the air way before Limblob was a sty in his daddy's eye.
Btw it's Jean Shepherd. I grew up on him. Now there was a talker.
That reminds me -- meteor scatter should peak at dawn.
I agree that Rimbaugh IS responsible for the assent of RW radio as we know it today.Limbaugh's claim that he single handedly saved AM radio from becoming nothing but police calls is accurate. Limbaugh created talk radio twenty years ago and liberals have been falling by the wayside ever since. I wonder how that ZaZa Gabor impersonator Huffington babe would do on talk radio. Relax lefties, wait for next month's figures before you pronounce Limbaugh dead.
That seems to answer the question of the thread about why Conservatives/Republicans don't and haven't elected many minorities.Holy crap. Herman Cain took Boortz's audience from 6 million to 1.5 in less than a year.

Complete butthurt deflection-whining.
This was (and still is) an illustration of how the Fairness Doctrine worked. Like it or lump it. And change your fucking diaper.
Again!!!!!
At least once a year Limbaugh ' s ratings are in complete collapse. It's like an annual liberal period.
