From the Obama approved network, CNN asks a psychiatrist, why do people listen to conservative talk shows like Rush Limbaugh? And of course the answer is predictable. If they really wanted an answer, they would only have to watch their news channel for a day and then listen to Rush. They'd notice that Rush has covered topics that they don't. You get far more information from Rush than you do from watching the other networks combined (except for the days he goes off on a tangent like he is now over the NFL incident). And of course there is the entertainment factor.
BTW, the liberals do have access to a very popular radio station, NPR. And does CNN mention that? This slanted and insulting newscast is a great example of why people are listening to Rush and CNN's ratings are in the toilet.

Sounds like you need to go back to middle school, Michele, and learn how to tell a news story from an opinion. Comparing CNN or NPR (mostly news, with some opinion pieces from varying people -- much like a newspaper with news sections and editorial sections) to Rush Limbaugh (all opinions of one person) is like comparing apples to oranges. Rush doesn't even pretend to be a news outlet -- he knows he's just an entertainer!
A good public middle school can teach you how to differentiate between news and opinion. Try asking for help at your local public school.
It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and more influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).
Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, the handicapped, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. You are reaping what he has sowed, KARMA, "Palin and simple" like his followers. Don’t we all feel better?

WOW! Paul. You have missed the point. This is not about you. Such anger. Well, I encourage you to keep looking for the truth. You seem to think you are on the right path. And, I pray you will find it....one day. The public school system has definitely worked on you...I'm sorry, for you.
