Good expose on Limbaugh being used as military propaganda

Salon has an article about how the military radio favors Rush Limbaugh over other commentators, which naturally could be confusing and misleading for the troops overseas.
What I find interesting is this:

Melvin Russell, director of American Forces Radio and Television Services, insists that Limbaugh's controversial show is broadcast for only one reason -- it gains big ratings in the United States. "We look at the most popular shows broadcast here in the United States and try to mirror that. [Limbaugh] is the No. 1 talk show host in the States; there's no question about that. Because of that we provide him on our service."

Well, they use Howard Stern as an example of a radio show that has high ratings but no place on American Forces Radio. But they had a quick answer for that--he's vulgar. Well, now they have another popular radio station that's beating Limbaugh in the ratings, at least in New York. I'm sure that our ratings-based military radio station can be counted on adding Al Franken's show immediately.
