Say It Ain’t So!

Please overlook the use of the word “ain’t”….all I can say is that I had a momentary brain fat!

I came across some news that should make a liberal smile and the radical right quote the title of this post…(it is nice to be quoted)……I found the good news while reading Alternet website……(it brought a smile to my face and before coffee)…..

Since October, Rush Limbaugh’s ratings have fallen by 33 percent and Sean Hannity’s by 28 percent, while Glenn Beck’s been dropped in several markets. Could this be indicative of a larger trend? This week Salon wonderedif their decline foretells a death whimper for the age of the extreme right talk show host.If true, this would also coincide with the public’s increasing disdain for the GOP’s economic policies, wrought by Paul Ryan’s unsustainable budget plan and last night’s unanimous vote to kill Medicare despite the wishes of their constituents. And while the extreme right pundits still enjoy a healthy amount of media coverage thanks to their willingness to drop outrageously racist, sexist, classist quoteables, it’s all countered by a recent surge of citizens getting behind boycotts, which helped result in Beck’s ouster from markets in New York, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. So, is there hope for an end to the windbag era? We can only hope. Read the full Salon piece here.

Is the sheep that listen to talk radio becoming more savvy of the political situation in this country?  Or is it just their listen, all of them over 60 years of age, like their Medicare, even though I do not like the idea of a single payer system?
