Citation?

I know listenership is low in DC, but growth is huge in many other markets. I think I've been through posting citations for this here before.

Quite an admirable source for your three month old story. </sarcasm>

But in fact, not really a story at all.

Hmmm... when was the last time you saw a conservative radio show being pushed in am television during the morning news? How 'bout never?

For the last five years all major media outlets have teabagged bush on an almost continuous basis.

To have an even marginally popular radio show call the administration on their lies and deception was news.

Until the plame scandal broke, and the administration bungled the Katrina disaster, I don't recall hearing any bad press for the administration since the campaigns.

And then, you know.....DeLay and Frist's malfeasance is hard to miss too. ;)
