Rush Limbaugh vs. Cumulus Media
Although apparently Rush is disputing it, the facts don't support him (as is often the case with much of the Limbag's assertions) -- he and stations he's on are losing advertisers and thus the stations are losing money by airing him. The apparent abandonment of Rush might be a bellwether indicating a shift in the general public opinion, pointing to an increasing marginalization of the far right, partly based on the increasing obviousness that a great many of them possess nary a clue related to reality.
They still have way too much influence in Congress; we can only hope that the loss of Limbaugh advertisers and a couple more missteps in Congress, perhaps combined with a collapse of the right-wing heaven in Kansas and increasing sequestration woes, will lead to a growing and influential recognition that the positions and politics of the intransigent and ignorant far-right are becoming less important. It will take awhile for this to shake out, but there is definitely some shaking going on.
