Missing the point. You said Levin is boring to young people. The stats say he's no MORE boring to young people than the younger, cooler and woker Gutfeld. That's all.

Both my mom and my grandfather has short and brutal encounters with lung cancer, so I'm not optimistic.
My uncle was supposedly "cured" of it, but then it popped up in his brain about a year later and THAT killed him.
I certainly hope for the best though for Rush or for anyone else who's battling it.
In a somewhat related matter: There is something that has baffled me for years. The Chief Engineer and I tried to convince the owner to pick up Rush's syndicated show. We made our case and he thought about it for awhile, before deciding not to. A few months later, he died. That was 1987, before syndication began! There's no question that the owner died in 1987 so what happened? Was there an early syndication that was less widespread; from Sacramento, perhaps?
The median cable news network viewer age is somewhere between 65 and 70. There is little spread between the three main networks (FNC, MSNBC, CNN).
Fox News is #1 in terms of total viewers among all cable networks in nearly all weeks throughout the year, but often they sit somewhere between #15 and #20 in Adults 18 - 49.
Re:
Plenty of Gen X'ers and Millenials DO listen to talk radio, but it generally isn't the crusty AM station with terrible audio quality.
Instead, they are listening to NPR on crystal clear FM signals, the talk channels on Sirius XM (this is especially true of men), and podcasts.
Sports talk stations on the FM dial have taken a lot of the wind out of the sails of general purpose talk stations on the AM dial, too.

The talk channels on SiriusXM are of atrocious sound quality, especially on weekends when loaded sports play-by-play schedules squeeze the available bandwidth. True, there's no manmade interference or lightning crashes, but the audio is still not FM quality, and, in the summer, the signal is stymied by leaves, which both AM and FM signals pass right through. Listen to talk, including sports, on SiriusXM for any length of time and you get a headache. I believe only Howard Stern's channels have decent bandwidth, and that's because what Howard wants, Sirius has always bent over and supplied.

I haven't read it. This newspaper has a tendency to mess up my computer.

I too have known people who battled it. None of the people I knew wanted to treat it, so I get where you are coming from on short and brutal. Just looking at the rapidity of the research and people who have come through it and survived to date from the breakthroughs.
I haven't talked about it much here but I was treated for lung cancer about two years ago, and I don't smoke. It was a small spot and the doctors caught it early, and they said I'm still doing good. So catching it early definitely makes a difference.
You were lucky. Rush says his lung cancer is "advanced."
So is that supposed to be good or bad?
I would imagine cancer no matter where, it would be fixable if it is caught early one, but if you wait to late there are times that there is not much doctors can do to fix it. But you got a lucky side and survived it, I imagine you can still get it, even being a non smoker, if you hang around people, and even more when they smoke. I am a non smoker as well, and imagine small spot is very easy to fix.
From www.cancer.gov:
Advanced cancer: Cancer that is unlikely to be cured or controlled with treatment. The cancer may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body. Treatment may be given to help shrink the tumor, slow the growth of cancer cells, or relieve symptoms.
You asked is it good or bad. The definition is it's unlikely to be cured or controlled. That's not good.
Yes this was the same diagnosis my mother had. She lived six days after they told her, which was actually
merciful. It had spread all over her body and there was really nothing they could do. She was a 2 to 3 pack
a day smoker for over sixty years so no one could really be surprised by that though.
My grandfather on the other hand developed lung cancer 25 years after he had quit smoking.

I bet nobody was surprised, which sounds like they could fix it or do whatever they can to help people beat cancer. I m not a smoker myself but I have worked with people that are, can't imagine how much money she spend on packs that would be 2 to 3 packs a day. Walt Disney was also a a chainsmoker, and he died of lung cancer, and he was a life long smoker, but to keep his imagine and his studio family friendly he did his best o make sure not never been seen smoking even by children, and people even through in the movie Saving Mr. Banksm, you see the aftermath of a smoking session. I have no idea how many packs he would smoke a day. it sure how much if at all Rush Limebaugh is a smoker or not, since he announced he has advanced lung cancer. Ut did they tell your mother or any of you how long they thought she would live, that led to her living to 6 days after they had told her?
Nothing. I gave you a medical definition. What was so hard for you to understand about the answer?
