>>...Rick- you may be right. They may lose some business, but they're also going to gain a pretty nice market share. Rush has a very well proven track record of increasing market flow and business. (Snapple, Priceline, Hotwire, Select Comfort, etc...) He has a HUGE audience.>>
Thanks for letting me know who else to boycott. I used to use Priceline.
From the 3/2/03 Chicago Tribunue article by Jon Margolis:
'Andrew Kohut, the highly regarded pollster for Times-Mirror, has described "the typical Limbaugh listener" as a "white male, suburbanite, conservative [with a] better-than-average job but not really a great job. Frustrated with the system, with the way the world of Washington works. Frustrated by cultural change. Maybe threatened by women."
Somebody, in short, who is not as rich, powerful or famous as he thinks he should be, and who wants to blame outside forces. The talk-show hosts help. They blame cultural (but rarely economic) elites and the government for the world's ills and regularly reinforce the listener's sense of being scorned and ridiculed.'
