Rush Limbaugh in Newt!, by Dick Williams


On Principles & Values: 1994 Freshman GOP called themselves "The Ditto-Head Caucus"

As the media expand to include more alternatives, the opinion of him in the nation's largest newsrooms means a good deal less than it once did. The Second American Revolution was opposed by the so-called mainstream media--the national newspapers and networks--but roundly supported by the alternative media. Gingrich knows, for instance, that radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh was a nuclear-sized megaphone against Clinton and for the more populist House Republicans. (Freshman Republicans call themselves the Ditto-Head Caucus after the name Limbaugh's loyal listeners have given themselves.)

At Gingrich's swearing in, talk radio hosts (liberal and conservative) were given broadcast space in the Capitol for the first time. After all, exit polls of voters in 1994 showed that talk radio listeners were far more likely to vote Republican.
