In 2011, the Daily Beast and the Young Turks exposed right-wing radio's ratings as fraudulent. Apparently, there is a new system of rating called the Portable People Meter. http://www.salon.com/2011/05/24/limbaugh_ratings/ Previously, it was Limbaugh who came up with the 20 million listeners. They are finding out that conservative radio is not that popular. Cenk issued a bet to Rush to prove his ratings.

Here are links to old articles:

Young Turks (May 16, 2011)
Cenk really sums it up nicely in this video.
