Decline Of Conservative Talk Radio And What It Means For Republicans

Conservative talk radio is in rapid decline, as Rush Limbaugh has lost one third of his audience, and Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and others are discovering that their hateful rhetoric is starting to wear thin, only gaining a couple of percent of the American people to listen to their drivel!

More and more advertisers are withdrawing from these right wing talk shows, because there is a strong reaction against them, particularly from the younger generation, which is much more tolerant and open minded on many issues!

Frank Luntz, the Republican pollster, has expressed great concern that the talk radio crowd is undermining the Republican future, with their strong nativism, anti women, anti gay tirades, as if those three groups—Hispanic and Latino immigrants, women, and gays and lesbians– remain strongly Democratic, there is no hope for a GOP President ever again! And good chance the Senate will also remain Democratic with extremist Republicans having lost Senate seats they should have won in Delaware, Nevada and Colorado in 2010 and in Missouri and Indiana in 2012!

The Republicans are discovering that allowing the Limbaughs, the Levins, the Hannitys, the Becks, and others to be their lead image, is disintegrating them!

    Hello Professor,
    I’m was on at 6:00 tonight. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/here-be-monsters

    I am pleased to say the audience is now up to 11,000 dedicated listeners and I took the opportunity to mention your blog repeating the name twice.

    As the progressive / moderate viewpoints gain more popularity…. The hate filled, misleading information , and yes even lies, reactionary right blowhard stations are dying out.

    A few months ago Global Radio fell off the boards of Wall Street trading, filing for chapter 11 protection, stated in the Wall Street Journal their fall and decline was a result of broadcasting Rush Limbaugh’s show. Their sponsers were so boycotted and lost business due to that Blow Hard’s venue, it also sank Global Radio.

    I also made mention of the couple of trolls who crawled out from under their bridges onto your site spouting Rush’s verbiage lies as if they were fact. Bottom line they only succeeded in accomplishing their own exposure and ignorance.

    I hope this gets you more and better informed followers to complement the others you already have… 🙂
