Rachel Maddow has declared Rush Limbaugh washed up. Not only that, but Maddow says Obama isn’t a progressive and is a true centrist. Seriously! This is how brain dead progressive liberal media hacks are. I’ll bet Rachel Maddow wishes she was as ‘washed up’ as Rush Limbaugh. Especially considering the fraction of viewers Maddow gets compared to the millions who listen to Rush Limbaugh on a daily basis.
| Butch Rachel Maddow: Rush Limbaugh washed up |

— On conservative media: “The commentary industry on the right makes zillionaires out of these people. That gives them tons of incentive to be outrageous and provocative. Watch Rush Limbaugh, who is really washed up at this point as a radio host. He’s been around too long and he says too many of the same things. But every once in a while he makes a calculated decision to say something to get himself in trouble. It’s his little cry for attention. He trolls everybody, everybody’s outraged, and people pay attention to him for another week. Then he disappears again…
“If you tell people, ‘Don’t listen to anybody else. You can trust only me. Everybody else is out to get you,’ not only do you get them to listen to you, but you get them to listen to you exclusively. That’s how Fox News is so dominant in cable news. It’s not that a majority of the country watches it. It’s just that it has locked up all the conservative audience. Frankly, that creates real problems for conservative politicians in that their feedback loop is closed in terms of outside information and which stories are relevant, including understanding how their rhetoric is going to be heard…We on the left have never made that case: Don’t watch anybody else, or everybody else is terrible and part of a conspiracy and lying to you and against you. Maybe we should have.”
