Frases de Rush Limbaugh

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III é um radialista e comentarista conservador norte-americano. Ele atualmente reside em Palm Beach, onde ele apresenta o programa The Rush Limbaugh Show. De acordo com uma estimativa feita em dezembro de 2015 pela Talkers Magazine, Rush Limbaugh teria uma audiência semanal acumulada em seu programa de rádio de aproximadamente 13,25 milhões de ouvintes únicos , o que coloca o seu programa de rádio, de estilo talk show, entre os de maior audiência em todo os Estados Unidos.Desde os 16 anos, Limbaugh trabalhou em uma série de trabalhos esporádicos como DJ. O seu talk show no rádio aos moldes atuais teve início em 1984 em Sacramento, California, na estação de rádio KFBK , em que apresentava o seu formato de programa tipicamente contínuo, com comentários políticos e chamadas para participação dos ouvintes.

Finalmente, em 1988, Limbaugh começou a apresentar o seu programa nacionalmente a partir da rádio WABC sediada em Nova York, e em 2014 o seu programa então passou a ser transmitido pela rádio WOR .

Na década de 1990, Limbaugh publicou os livros The Way Things Ought to Be e See, I Told You So que foram incluídos na lista dos best seller da The New York Times. Nas suas publicações e no seu programa, Limbaugh frequentemente critica políticas de cunho liberal e a própria classe política como um todo, bem como o que ele considera como o viés liberal que segundo ele predomina na mídia mainstream norte-americana. Limbaugh está entre as pessoas mais bem pagas nos EUA no ramo midiático, em que somente em 2008 assinou um contrato de oito anos com a sua emissora cujo valor foi de aproximadamente US$400 milhões. O sucesso acumulado ao longo dos anos trouxe novamente prestígio às estações de rádio AM nos EUA. Em 2015, a Forbes totalizou os seus ganhos em US$79 milhões ao longo dos últimos 12 mês daquela data, e o ranqueou como a 11ª celebridade mais bem paga do mundo. No seu mais recente contrato, assinado em 31 de julho de 2016, ficou acordado que ele transmitirá o seu programa de rádio até 2020, data em que completará 32 anos no ar. Wikipedia
