I recently reveived an email from a news source called US Politics Today, which bills itself as a "Non-Partisan News Source For Political Professionals"
US Politics Today
Unfortunately I am neither a member nor a subscriber, so I cannot link directly to the article. But I wanted to share some of the info from the email I received, as I think it's good news for us all.
During the past 3 months, for instance, rushlimbaugh.com traffic ranking has declined 18%. He still huffs and puffs away daily on radio, but advertisers might want to double check the size of his audience. If the bottom has dropped out on him online, it likely has had a similar trend line with his radio show.
Even Fox News, that gold standard of right-wing media, is down 13%.
The article claims the source of its data is a website called Alexa.com, which is owned & operated by Amazon.

The even throw in a little snark for our favorite blonde harpie:
Ann Coulter is coining money by attacking widows and orphans---a new game for her since she's run out of Democrats, living and dead, to defame and verbally pillage. You would think all of the attention the promotion of her new book has given her would raise visitor numbers at her web site, anncoulter.com. Nope. Traffic there is down 10%.
The audience chart reversal seems to be common across the entire right-wing side of the Internet viewing board. Billoreilly.com has dropped 40% in the past 3 months. Townhall.com, that once popular center for right-wing news and commentary, has fallen by 24%. WashingtonTimes.com is down by 27%. And how about Matt Drudge, once the hottest right-wing name in Internet sites? Alexa.com says drudgereport.com is down 21%.
Could it be that Internet users are getting tired of political sites in general? Maybe so. But Moveon.org is up 13% in the same period.

Those graph lines may not directly parallel the decline in GOP poll numbers, but they are all heading in the same direction---down.
