Americans have short term memories, advertisers will be back soon, Rush's show is in no danger of going under.

Posted by ty97 Mar 4 '12, 16:28

Financially he'll make less, but he'll still make tons.

Responses:

In the short term, he's neutered. And nobody thought Glen Beck was going away until he did. - David Mar 4, 16:53 22
- if he and Clear Channel don't get in front of this, THIS week (like by Wed)...things will go south. but as of right now... - Remlik Mar 4, 17:08
- I was just about to post exactly this. - Reagen Mar 4, 16:56 12
  - Rush's audience is a multiple of Beck's and his fans are more loyal. - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:02 7
    - Man, I hope he goes satellite. He'd cut his listener base to pieces. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 17:04 6
      - But if I was Siruis I'd at least try. - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:09 4
        
        Is Siruis even viable anymore? - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:12 3
        
        Sirius and XM merged, yes. - Reagen Mar 4, 17:16 2
        
        Hmmmm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:16 1
        
        Not sure, but they are actually making a profit (which I did not realize) and improved their cash position. - ty97 Mar 4, 17:21
      - Yeah, I think even Howard Stern found out that you may have rabid fans but most won't follow you to pay radio. -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:06
  - (And this is a reddit campaign, too. Those guys are like Anonymous's nicer little brother) -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 17:01
  - Rush's Aud -- nm - spamlet (iPad) Mar 4, 17:00
  - I really do want to re-visit this in one, three, six months and see how his advertising dollars are doing. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:58 1
    - Yup. Listeners will stay and the ad dollars will flow back as soon as everyone moves on. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 4, 17:26
- Glenn Beck didn't go away, he change mediums. - ty97 Mar 4, 16:54 7
  - Glenn Beck was shown the door at his network within a year of the March on DC stuff... - Will Hunting Mar 4, 17:09
  - Beck's change of medium made him go away. he is nothing now -- nm - MDH Mar 4, 16:57
  - Then we disagree on the usage of neuter, because Beck is a eunuch at the moment. -- nm - David Mar 4, 16:55 4
    - marginalized -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 4, 16:59
    - like, when's the last time anyone's even bothered to mock him? -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 16:58 2
      - I miss the Daily Show mockings of him. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 4, 17:02 1
        
        at this point it'd be like kicking a puppy. - Reagen Mar 4, 17:17
Did anyone think it was? -- nm - mara Mar 4, 16:46 19
- Some folks have alluded to the possibility, yes -- nm - ty97 Mar 4, 16:49
- i think NOW wants him gone - pixitude Mar 4, 16:47 17
  - I think they have always wanted him gone. For 20 years he has called them NAG, National Association of Gals. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:49 1
    - Yeah, I don't think they have much pull to Rush's audience. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 4, 17:23
  - A lot of peopl *want* him gone, but anyone who thinks something like this will make him go away is pretty naive. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 16:49 14
    - He is going to take the biggest hit he has taken. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 16:52 3
      - Lots of his listeners have daughters. -- nm - Reagen Mar 4, 16:59 2
        
        And agree that unmarried that have sex are sluts. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 17:27 1
        
        unmarried women -- nm - mara Mar 4, 17:28
    - Not only will he keep his audience. In the short term his ratings will go up. Also what he said I am guessing resonates with his listeners and they - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:50 8
      - Assuming all his listeners are identical is a grave oversight. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 4, 16:54 1
        
        Some people listen to him and hate him. They will stay. Some listen and like him. They will stay. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:57
      - I was under the impression that his ratings have already gone up, but can't fnd that data now so maybe was just confused. Anyway, I don't think he - mara Mar 4, 16:53
      - he will always say things that resonate with his viewers and get him ratings. the question is how far can he go before the hit isn't worth taking by - pixitude Mar 4, 16:52 4
        
        I think he would have to drop a major racial slur. I mean he talks about race now. But it would have to be that type of suicidal bomb. - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 16:55 3
        
        calling a woman a "slut" and a "prostitute" is right up there -- nm - pixitude Mar 4, 16:57 2
        
        I have used the slut word in reference to actresses that are, well sluts. In his context it's horrible - Noloha, Bacon Mar 4, 17:04
        
        Apparently not. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 16:58
    - i mean in a "last straw" kind of way -- nm - pixitude Mar 4, 16:49
oh I'm sure there are replacements lined up -- nm - Remlik Mar 4, 16:35
