Sad, but true. Signing the bill was one of Bill's mistakes. He signed it, but he didn't write it. What he should have done was veto it. You left out what started the ball rolling, Reagan's revocation of the Fairness Doctrine. From the AP: Ronald Reagan’s 1987 revocation of the Fairness Doctrine, which had banned bias and forbade news blackouts. One Southern TV station, for example, lost its license for refusing to report on the civil rights movement in a time when public protests to the FCC could cost broadcast licenses. The doctrine’s absence today means hot-button issues like immigration are reported only from ludicrously left-or-right emotional extremes absent context or middle-ground options. Worse are fabrications, such as media headlining our falling birthrate while blatantly ignoring astronomical 28 million to 30 million decadal population explosions, 82 percent immigration-driven, in ours, the third-most populated and highest — by a factor of three — per capita carbon nation. News once reported spontaneously — and honestly — based solely on its own merits is replaced by topics selectively reported to artificially create specific perceptions and a false national “reality.” https://apnews.com/article/media-ma...-immigration-f2021dc7425a4001b1f910a3bb075b87 Rush? I don't think Limbaugh believed more than half the crap he spouted for years, and probably less. He believed in the money he made from saying what he knew to be lies. Rush only cared about the money. That, and the attention. Rush away.
Brilliant post Glynch. The Rush's of the world help the Republicans round up the culture war voters to put the Republicans in only to cut taxes for the rich. That about sums it up
This sick **** needs to go. Rush Limbaugh deactivates his Twitter account after President Trump permanently banned "There's a lot of people calling for the end of violence. There's a lot of conservatives on social media who say that any violence or aggression at all is unacceptable regardless of the circumstances," the longtime conservative commentator said. "I am glad Sam Adams, Thomas Paine, the actual Tea Party guys, the men at Lexington and Concord didn't feel that way.” Limbaugh started the Twitter account in October 2020 and discussed why he joined on his Oct. 13 show, saying that he hates social media and calling it a "cesspool." "We are gonna be doubling down. We’re gonna be doing everything we can in these last three weeks to take the message of preserving the American way of life, to take the message that America is a good and decent, it is almost a savior of a country, that it is being maligned, it is being savagely impugned," Limbaugh said on the show, according to a transcript.
Rush Limbaugh is likely the most skilled and talented radio person ever. He is a giant and his skill to control the narrative and direction of conversation is amazing. I will miss hearing his spin his web, but the world is a better place without him... no more drug addled extortion and one less person going to third world countries to pay for sex with minors
Going to pick up lunch turned on 740 thinking I might get some of the inauguration live, instead I got an earful of Rush.
