ru$h limbaugh: I love to ‘yank media’s chain’ ----yet he's the media's darlling on the today show

[spanone]

Rush Limbaugh realizes you don’t become America’s most popular radio talk-show host without having the hide of an elephant. And he’s long subscribed to a theory: His 21 million listeners know him and love him, and the other 280 million Americans, well, they don’t pay the bills.

“My objective is to satisfy audience so they come back the next day,” Limbaugh told TODAY national correspondent Jamie Gangel in a wide-ranging, three-hour interview, excerpts of which air on TODAY Monday and Tuesday.

“Most of my critics don’t even listen to me; they are clueless,” Limbaugh said. “They just go to Web sites that report what I say out of context. I’m amazed at the Democrats and the media who do not know what’s going on in my world. I know what’s going on in theirs. I study ’em. I watch ’em every day.”

1. Your world is a fucked up place Rush, we DO know what's going on

asshole, but you'll never read this, so why don't you go fuck some more children. SOMEDAY, you WILL go to jail, or your fucking heart will explode you fat pedophile junkie.

3. You are a liar, Rush Limbaugh. You are a hypocrite. You break the law then buy your way out of it.

You criticize others while you yourself do worse things.

You are doing a disservice to America, and to your listeners. You prey upon those who don't think for themselves, they just take what you say at face value, then repeat it to others.

You are a racist.

You are a disgrace.

You are the one who is clueless, and the people who don't listen to your show know what you are and have better things to do with their time.

4. I'm not surprised that the broadcast media industry celebrates Limbaugh

After all, regardless of political persuasion they are all in the same business and he's one of the media industry's biggest (if not the biggest) success story.

5. That 21 Million figure was pulled out of OxyRush's pimple-festered ass.

Only in his wildest dreams.

7. 12,000,000 TOPS, a MINORITY by any other name.

or less than 5% of the population listens to pig shit.

6. How does he bullshit us? Let me count the ways!

21 million listeners? :rofl:

"Web sites that report what I say out of context" : Uhhhhhh, guess what, clown - we have these things called AUDIO & VIDEO TAPE. We can play back EXACTLY what you say on the air, so don't try to piss in our ear and tell us it's raining!

8. Rush's world = Republicon draft dodgers & drug abusers

No real American of honor would ever go there.

9. my MIL had the show on today where he was being interviewed

I was hardly paying attention to him, but I did hear him say that he's on all by himself, all of those hours, no one else. And I thought, "yeah, if they had someone on to counter your BS, you probably wouldn't be on anymore." Actually, if they had someone on like, Thom Hartman, to debate him; they'd probably have a hell of a lot more listeners. But, corporatist tools can't take the chance of having so many lies exposed. It would be an awesome thing to be hold; however.

10. Not as much as the media love being yanked.

They line up for the privilege.
