Liberal radio host: Media Matters’ anti-Limbaugh campaign hurt progressive talk radio

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

On CNN’s “Reliable Sources” on Sunday, the publisher of Talkers magazine and a prominent progressive TV and radio host refuted the idea that Media Matters for America’s campaign against Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity caused Cumulus to consider dropping the two talk stars.

 

“Reliable sources” Patrick Gavin and his guests explored the current debate over whether, and why, Cumulus might be considering letting Limbaugh’s show and Hannity’s go from some of their larger radio stations.

 

Michael Harrison, editor and publisher of talk radio trade publication Talkers magazine, said categorically that this was not a political backlash against Limbaugh and Hannity, as some — including Media Matters head David Brock — are suggesting. He said the decision is more of a radio businessdeal.
