How many dittoheads are there, really? With Rush Limbaugh leading conservatives and heading up the Republican Party, radio ratings have entered the national political conversation. Radio ratings, done mainly by Arbitron, are, unlike their teevee counterparts, notoriously secretive, and intent...

Never mind the economy; forget about Iraq, even socialism and the race card can be pushed to the last segment. Radio talkers must talk about Rush Limbaugh. ~ Bill O'Reilly is talking about... Rush Limbaugh. Glennn Beck is talking about... Rush Limbaugh. Sean Hannity is talking about... Rush Limb...

A reader alerted us to another controversy blowing in Santa Barbara around Dr. Laura (KTTH m-f, 9p-12a) whose integrity was again found wanting after she was caught cheating in the arcane, wealthy world of yacht racing.

Lowbrow conservatism, name-calling, neocons, bullying bluster, blind loyalty to George Bush and the abandonment of elitism on talk radio have allowed carny barkers to run away with the right. Although we've said similar stuff many times, this time it's an influential conservative magazine. (...

We've never heard him so pissed. But despite all Rush Limbaugh and right-wing radio's Sturm und Drang, they lost another big one today as an agreement was reached in congress to pass the Stimulus Package in President Obama's time frame. With his leadership, popularity, ability to talk, a...

Rush Limbaugh, what he thinks, and the spines he can dissolve in Congress sitting on his momentous ass in West Palm Beach remain the top storis in media. But once the Obama recovery bill is passed, what will be left? Seems Big Pants didn't have all that much to begin with... even with Republican...

Having head fat doesn't always mean you are a fathead... so says medical researchers, but it's a no 1 symptom. We've always known Fox News "anchor" and radio host Glennn Beck (KTTH m-f, 6-9a) as a hypermanic, pop-eyed, chubby-cheeked, arm-flapping, spittle-spraying, race-baitin...

They are so jealous. "Wish he'd call me out," muttered Glenn Beck into his second and third chins. Hannity screwed up his tiny, Irish choir-boy lips, "It started on my show!" They've turned green about Obama actually saying Rush Limbaugh's name outloud in the media. T...

One of the first sets of President Obama's executive orders instructs “federal agencies to handle requests for information from the public and press under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) with an eye toward disclosure, not refusal.� (photo: anti-Obama comedian Rush Limbaugh) You'd t...

It's the Fall Book, and Bonneville's KIRO (AM & FM) are -- as in the trends a few weeks ago, No.1 in the age 12+ market. Some of that was to be expected -- the survey was taken in the Fall, in the crux of a white-hot election -- and they were, after all open for business with two ...
