Additionally, he was a five-time winner of the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for Excellence in Syndicated and Network Broadcasting. Limbaugh was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1993 and the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1998. It eventually rose to 600 stations and 27 million weekly listeners. His show was picked up by ABC-Radio in 1988, now being broadcast all over the country for what would be over three decades. His show was helped with the removal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, meaning he could voice any opinion he felt, regardless of how controversial. He went through a number of radio stations, working as a deejay and a talk show host, but it wasn't until 1984, when he became famous with his radio show on KFBK in Sacramento, California. Within 18 months, however, he was fired due to a "personality conflict" with the program director. He got his start in radio in 1971 at radio station WIXZ (McKeesport, Pennsylvania) as a DJ with the name "Bachelor Jeff." He was told to cover "farm news," because the Pittsburgh area was surrounded by many agricultural communities. And there’s a camera on every corner in every room in every city in every place in Washington.Radio Personality, Political Commentator, Author. Everything changes when people know the camera’s there. Take your average American street corner, whatever goes on there goes on. Everything, everything that most anybody does, especially in politics, is done, is calculated, is executed, is performed with a desired media reaction in mind. What is new - relatively new - and I don’t mean new yesterday - but what’s relatively new is that the large number of substantive things that are done, not for the reasons that you would think - good decision, bad decision, what’s the objective, how do we get it, if the media finds out, they find out, if they don’t, they don’t, but the media and what they’re thinking is not even a factor in the circumstances I’m talking about. I mean, the old adage, “I don’t care what you say about me as long as you spell my name right” has been around forever. ![]() And there’s value in getting noticed no matter what you get noticed for. ![]() It leads to lack of substance replaced by behavior that will get noticed. It goes deeper than just trying to be noticed. And that’s why I’ve been spending time trying to write it down. Many CEOs, many businesspeople, the media was always there, but it was not, the media was never a dominant factor in determining practically everything someone did. I mean, they knew the press box was filled with writers and so forth, but they went out to play the game and they lived their lives without any thought of what the media would say or do or any of that. There was a time when athletes, professional athletes, played the game to play the game, and they were not even conscious of the media. Back in the - and this is not old fuddy-duddy stuff. Let me explain when things were different, and let me use sports as the example. Everybody does everything, most everybody, while also calculating the media reaction to it. ![]() It’s just the evolution of our society and culture.Įverything is media now. I’ve been actually preparing - if I were writing a book, which I’m not, this would be a chapter, and I’ve been trying to analyze the poisonous - and it’s not a conspiracy. In fact, folks, I’m gonna jump the gun here. And by that, I mean, look at what people will do for media attention. Follow the money and then follow the media.

One of the producers in the undercover investigation said, “We also don’t give him credit for things he does do, and our bosses don’t see an upside to reporting any of it.” Now, if that’s your news organization, I’m sorry, you’ve been hoodwinked probably for about half a century. This happens with a lot of things that the Democrats have on their agenda.įor example, ABC refused to acknowledge Trump’s successes. The bosses did not see an upside, according to an undercover reporter from James O’Keefe at ABC. KEN: Something just happened - and this from our friend James O’Keefe over at Project Veritas - senior ABC News reporter revealed that top bosses spiked news important to voters - now, listen to this - and we’re gonna share some more details of this coming up.
