That's what CNN does every 5 minutes except from the Left and lot's of assistance from the establishment. Rush built a political commentary machine with no help from the NYC-DC axis. @2/3 of the show was just Rush reading the liberal news aloud and calling out it's contradictions. 2 Link to comment

You think this is a good thing? Seems to me like you are complaining when one group does it but celebrating another. CNN commentators (as well as Fox, OANN, MSNBC, etc) are also a disservice to American conversation. Their business models require grouping people along political lines. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to sense the tension between left/right right now and make connections to the commentators they choose to listen to or watch. 2 Link to comment

Get you worked up and angry about something so you keep listening. Rush was the exact same way X1000 and that's why he was a sickness on society. These people don't care about anything other than getting you angry at someone so you keep listening and then they can make more money. 2 Link to comment

Saying racist, homophobic and bigoted things is not 'ahead of its time.' It's behind its time. Your post suggests this is a good thing, borderline complimentary. You have also accused those of celebrating his death of being a societal 'ill.' Nothing critical of Rush or the things he said, nor the bigoted groups of people in this country that looked to him as a champion of their views (like known KKK members). And there are attempts to further justify this perspective by saying 'yeah, well, tHe LeFt!' These kinds of posts seem to advocate a general, complicit support for racist, homophobic, bigoted, and discriminatory views, no? 4 Link to comment

Well Rush didn't take over an established hard-news outlet, owned by a mega-corporation. He sold himself on nearly broke radio stations. I heard that in Europe cars don't have AM radios anymore because they had no Rush. Of course you like it when a pundit from your side mocks the other side, and hear it as OMGisms when it comes the other way. I don't like Bill Maher but I respect Rush for saying BM shouldn't have been cancelled. What i don't like is that the infotainment is not the alternative but the main stream itself. If CNN still had its 1990s cut and dry channel then I would probably watch it. Rush never claimed he was a hard news anchor or wanted to replace them entirely. I suppose that's the downside of transformative forces. Does Jon Stewart like how every comedian is trying to be him now? I have no idea. 2 4 1 Link to comment
