Trump killed Limbaugh (he's not dead yet)

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 Limbaugh’s 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 won’t be there to excuse them for supporting Trump.

like death warmed over when I occasionally listen - really croaky voice. With lung cancer basically you die by suffocating to death.

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.

It was Trump's downfall and soon it will be Limbaughs. I will not feel sorry for him nor shed a tear for all the pain and suffering and divisiveness that he's caused.

and on the air
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.

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

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 men’s 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.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-illinois-basketball-football-radio-wls-am-20190204-story
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 .

https://strategicplan.illinois.edu/2013-2016/mission.html
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
