But I ran across some stats on listeners that are sort of interesting:<br />NPR Morning edition 14.7 million listeners a week<br />NPR All Things Considered 14.5 million<br />Rush Limbaugh Premier Net 13.25 million<br />Sean Hannity Premier Net 12.5 million<br />...from which I conclude that listeners are about equally split, as is the electorate.<br />...and, no wonder the GOP is eager to cut funding to Public<br />Broadcasting.<br />I used to listen to radio when crossing the mountains and great plains by myself. It was mostly country and local. One<br />time in a long boring stretch, I caught the radio station in the isolated town of Baker, MT. Got interested, as every<br />five minutes or so, they advised us listeners the the 'Hospital Report' would be coming on the hour. Curious,<br />I wondered if it was Mr. 'Glicken was kicked by a steer',<br />'A new baby wss born' or 'Widow Schmidlap, 98, passed away.<br />Pretty fascinating, considering the drive, right? Then,<br />right on the hour, a young woman came on loud and clear:<br />"Today's Hospital Report is brought to you by Lefstad's Seed and Feed. There were no admissions today and no releases. Stay tuned for the Hospital Report wrap up".<br />I turned it off, lit my pipe and scanned the interstate for a car somewhere.<br />BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388509941702241290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33132083.post-25344022558005486182017-04-24T08:58:05.141-05:002017-04-24T08:58:05.141-05:00What's going on at FoxNews?

My first e-mail this AM was from<br />my wife's cousin in Zurich, where among other Swiss<br />news we report and quote-<br />"They brought their friend Kathy from New York along, an extremely friendly and outgoing lady of 66. She lives right on the west side of Central Park and said that her tiny apartment fits twice in our living room. Inevitably, we discussed the new president, who she denies to call by his name or even honour him with the term “president”……..she only talks of “45”. She reported having participated at the “not our president” walk, where a latino man confronted her, demanding this demonstration had to stop and claiming “he (45J) has done a lot for me”. They shouted back and forth, and when she finally shouted back: “So, what HAS he done for you?” he replied: “He has PROMISED me a job”. Well, let’s all promise the world the moon, that should doo, right?" Meanwhile 45 signed<br />3 more executive orders, initiating his yuuuuge TrickleDown initiative. Yep, they are still calling<br />Obama the 'Imperial President' for HIS executive orders. Tis like watching a kindergarten without a<br />teacher.<br />BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388509941702241290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33132083.post-58945403223843813942017-04-21T13:56:03.638-05:002017-04-21T13:56:03.638-05:00Look it's hard to defend Trump.
