Rush Limbaugh's Hate Radio Network Home Facing $20 Billion Bankruptcy
Rush Limbaugh’s Hate Radio Network Home Facing $20 Billion Bankruptcy

………. Between the StopRush movement's pressure and Willard Romney's bankruptcy gang, iHeart radio is badly in debt………..

“………Conservatives thrive on peddling hate because it resonates with their increasingly ignorant racist, sexist, and nativist base. In fact, Republicans have benefitted greatly from selling hate and it was that fact that likely prompted Mormon cultist and then aspiring Republican presidential candidate Willard ‘Mitt’ Romney to direct his company, Bain Capital, to buy control of America’s leading hate radio network, Clear Channel …………..

….. after a carefully-devised and crowd-sourced boycott effort, iHeart Radio Networks (formerly Clear Channel) is facing an over $20 billion bankruptcy. There is probably something in the Christian bible denoting how horrible it is to take pleasure in the distress of another person, but in the case of the right’s hate mongers and for the good of the nation, one cannot help but celebrate the news that Willard Romney likely helped foster the impending demise of hate radio…….”

Seems poor Rush and others may go down the tubes in Bankruptcy Court just like Gawker seems to be headed……………….Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh………….what a shame…………NOT

uh you do know that iheart radio probably owns whatever radio station you listen to that plays music right??? I'm sure Rush doesn't generate that much revenue for them, but they have thousands of radio stations some featuring gay radio hosts as well that don't produce much either. To lay blame at rush limbaugh is silly. They should have laid blame on the fact that iheart tried to restructure themselves around their pandora-like radio app. Which sucks!

Who is RMUSE, why does he post the same thing on any site that will have him, why is he the only one reporting it as a Rush Limbaugh story, and why does he associate “hate radio industry’s profit margins" with the link associated with "completely collapsed” when the link itself doesn't.

Yoda, it appears with RMUSE and PoliticusUSA you've stumbled on an analogy to Alex Jones and InfoWars.
You must be so proud.

It's still an entertaining medium. I'm a fan of the Sunday comics myself. Doesn't change the fact that these media are gradually becoming less and less profitable as more advanced and inexpensive options are developed, like podcasts and online magazines. Do I think radio will cease to exist any time soon, or even in the next few decades? No, of course not. If they continue to lose subscribers at the current rate they're going, however, my grandchildren might not see radios or newspapers outside of history classes by the time they're born.

I admit, I'm dating myself when I say I listen to radio a lot but if your grandkids drive cars or work with their hands they're liable to listen to radios at the same time. Or is it all about playlists and downloads now?
Newspapers, you're probably right. I bet I don't buy 2 a month these days, and I used to get them delivered when I lived in the city.
I just love music, and radio is the best medium of delivery for me.

Not sure what Rush has to do with iHeartRadio which didn't even exist until 2008, when Rush was on the air for over 20 years. The Wikipedia article on iHeart doesn't mention Rush.

If there is a $20 billion the losers will be some pension funds primarily. And pensioners.
 
Calling out poor liberal judgement and fraud, waste, and abuse in the government, does not equate to "hate". In fact, if there were no "watchdogs", we would really be in trouble.

A opposing view does not play well with liberals.

Hence the catch phrase........ "hate speech"

Or racist.
Or Xenophobe
Or Homophobic


Rush is a entertainer with a knack for sarcasm, and a feel for the Washington the political pulse. The left overlooks their own "hate speech" entertainers like Chis Matthews, Maddow, Olberman, Ed Schultz, etc. etc. etc.

It doesn't have anything to do with him. if you look it up Limbaugh is on Premier Networks which is owned by iHeartMedia. butiHeart also owns over 800 radio stations, outdoor advertising, and abunch of things.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Rush. It has nothing to do with StopRush and the other stuff this article says either.
Neither does it have anything to do with Mitt Romney as Romney had left Bain years before Bain had anything to do with Clear Channel/iHeart.
Bottom line is politicus articles generally suck and this one is no exception.
