Rush Limbaugh may be losing another outlet for his hate-filled
far-right diatribes. According to a report from Daily Kos, Chicago’s
Cumulus radio station WLS 890 is about to kick Rush to the curb.
While Culmulus is denying the allegation, Limbaugh himself posted a rather telling remark on Facebook on Wednesday.
“Now that I’ve outgrown the 25-54 demographic, I’m no longer confident I see the world as everybody else does,” he posted. Wait, what? You mean not everyone is filled with loathing when it comes to women, immigrants, minorities, the LGBT community, birth control, fair pay, the poor, etc, etc. “I’ve gotten old enough now that there are younger people, generationally younger, who have an entirely different view, an entirely different experience.”
Do I detect the smell of defeat in the air?
Limbaugh has been on WLS since 1989, but the network is bleeding millions lately. WLS’s revenue dropped from $13 million to less than $9.5 million in one year. People just aren’t that into Rushbo’s bullying misogynist schtick anymore, and campaigns like Stop Rush/Flush Rush have convinced sponsors to pull their ads during his shows’ time slots.
But Rush is right about one thing. His sexist propagandist talk-show doesn’t speak to the majority of the younger generation — which gives one hope that someday soon, Rush and his special brand of hatred will be off the airways entirely.
