Recently Limbaugh told his audience that his lung cancer, a disease which he regularly told millions is not caused by smoking, is terminal.
According to one of Limbaughs regular replacements Limbaugh has been delaying scheduled treatments to help Trump at critical times and to get through the election.
Trump owes Limbaugh big time for helping Putin get him elected in 2016 and Limbaugh should have spent the last ten months getting the best treatment money can buy and resting by the ocean in Palm Beach. Instead, Trump has been using Limbaugh to call COVID a hoax, make excuses for his crimes and incompetence, attack Democrats, and most recently call the election stolen.
Limbaugh took one for the Jipper, and they both lost.
And so did the GOP, because Limbaugh wont be there to excuse them for supporting Trump.

(1,899 posts)like death warmed over when I occasionally listen - really croaky voice. With lung cancer basically you die by suffocating to death.

(15,244 posts)What Limbaugh said is that smoking takes 50 years to kill you, if it kills you. In his case, he was exactly right - it took about 50 years for his smoking to kill him.

So if Trump kills him, well limbaugh should already know everything trump touches dies
This book below is over 20 years old he has been on the air over 30 years
Over the years I have voiced my opinions about the local broadcast of his show but ratings do not lie even in the Chicago market he is popular . So now I am more focused on supporting our progressive radio here.

(9,090 posts)his 'ratings' are very much tied to the fact it's a monopoly and his stations are usually the loudest in every state and also do weather, traffic, sports, etc
matter of fact in illinois the univ of illinois supports 7 of his stations

(21,646 posts)At this time of the year it will be football on Saturday now (if they are playing?covid )because last year in 2019 they left a regular sports channel to come over to the Limbaugh talk station
That station is all RW daytime weekday
University of Illinois football and mens basketball is moving to WLS-AM 890, leaving sports-talk station WSCR-AM 670 for the Chicago radio home of talk-show giant Rush Limbaugh.
The WLS-AM deal also includes carriage of coaches shows featuring Lovie Smith and Brad Underwood.

All big sports teams have jumped here from that station but yes and this is a state sponsor
I hope more places start having progressive radio stations like we do . Maybe with Biden and his policies progressive stations will become more popular so people have an alternative
They need support and advertisers etc of course but the local issue shows with some syndication shows like Miller and Hartmann here are a good mix that could work elsewhere imo
Maybe some people started listening to Limbaugh because there was nothing else on and could have used alternative air waves .

(9,090 posts)here's the basics of the missions statement which is extremely vague but is still antithetical to supporting rw radio
Our Shared Vision
We will be the pre-eminent public research university
with a land-grant mission and global impact. - (even though the radio stations we endorse deny global warming)
And this is how the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will define it:
We will be the best at what we do; this is a matter of excellence in achievement.
We will have impact locally, nationally and globally through transformational learning experiences and groundbreaking scholarship (even though the radio stations we support try to defund public education and attack teachers and their unions on a regular basis).
We will be recognized by our peers as leaders. We will be visible to the nation and world this is the leadership expected from a world-class university with a land-grant mission.
Our Mission
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is charged by our state to enhance the lives of citizens in Illinois, across the nation and around the world through our leadership in learning, discovery, engagement and economic development
