Where would Rush be without the 'driveby media?'

A bigly portion of his show is him acting as a foil against the MSM. He ridicules them often. How much of his content would vanish if he didn't have them to play against?
On some level he has to know that he needs the MSM.

Rush could retire today and be fine the rest of his life. He was a response to the MSM. I think, like Trump, Rush truly loves this country.

this is a dumb comment because liberals will always exist.
could Jon Stewart have done his show without beating up Fox News and Hannity and Rush and so on.

Where would the left be without Rush?
One minute, he's nothing more than a radio jockey with no real political aptitude. The next minute he's the voice of the Republicans and has Barack Obama blaming specifically him for the reason he sucked so bad in office.
Rush is in the left's head, and he knows there playbook. The left is just angry that he's right 99% of the time.

That's why I can't stand the guy. His whole shtick is to rile people up by BITCHING about people BITCHING. It's one bigly cycle of old white guy tears.

Critique of Media is a HUGE portion of his programming. BTW, he didn't use the term 'driveby' until about 15 years into the show.
Those who incorrectly predict his ratings drop when a GOP President is in office forget that the media is always there no matter who is in office.

Do you and me "need" the TD Poliboard, w? We are all part of the Social Media Platform which has become the mechanism for political discourse. Rush is a cog in the wheel; albeit talented and entertaining. He loves exposing the MSM bias, and irrationality of the Left. He'd probably do it for free, like we do.

It's called pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. And is quite fun to do, i might add. I do it here quite often.

Fair enough. But to me, he is what's wrong with the divide in America. He's just to the far right and you agree with him. But he never calls out bullshite on the far right.
Same can be said with the far left guys too. I call them out when they do the same shtick (Bill Maher, etc).

you don't provide any specific examples of how he is 'far right'.
how do you define "far right'. that is probably being pro-life, anti-obamacare, etc in your view.

Not a left winger, I just don't dickride 1 party or the other. Which to you probably means I'm a leftwinger sadly.

blasting 'old white guys' is a common leftwing thing. it is like you think old white guys don't have right to express an opinion you disagree with.

Rush? I'm not even gonna merit an argument about how Rush is far right of the everyday American.

that's because you can't without exposing how leftwing you are. he has the most listened to talk show in the country so the idea that he's radical doesn't make any sense.
what hackks like you is try to radicalize anybody who has views that you disagree with. you are so arrogant that you think people should just take your word for it.

Dude's been doing this for 25-30 years ... the undisputed KING of conservative ... scratch that ... political ... talk radio ... and bitch-made punk liberals still say, "YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT!"
Yeah ... right ... Rush would have folded without MSM.

Weird. So he's the mainstream media then that he's bitching about?
