A Tiny Glimmer

Rush Limbaugh got dumped from the line up at a CBS Radio affiliate in Philly recently, replaced by Michael Smerconish.

I haven't heard much of the usual indignantly outraged tantrums from the Wingnuts yet tho'.  Eerily quiet.  But it turns out the AM station dropped him, and he got picked up by an FM outfit, so this doesn't exactly sound like much of a big story, but hey - there it is.

Maybe the real point is that if Limbaugh continues to fade from the AM side, and even if he keeps getting picked up by the FM stations, his reach continues to diminish because FM gets out to a much narrower audience.

Anyway, from Addicting Info:
Limbaugh will no longer be heard on the CBS station in Philadelphia that has allowed him to spew his venom for the past twenty years. He has been replaced by Michael Smerconish with the intro “forget the anger, reason is back”
Score one for reason and morality.
