The entire entertainment industry, which our media is the foremost member.

American media is purely entertainment, unfortunately some people take it as truth.

My wife and I are late 60s conservatives, we listen to podcast probably 10:1 over TV and radio, as do a lot of our friends.


Why am I picturing y'all sitting around an old school floor radio listening?! Ha. Next you'll say you do it as you read a newspaper and smoking a pipe.

It is interesting how things are coming back around to the basics in some form.

You’re not wrong. But look around, there’s a shite ton of fat people in America feasting on Marxist indoctrination and propaganda.

Rog, I do agree with you to a degree.

He had actually been more spotty than many will admit during his career.

I believe he was leaned on during the Bubba years and maybe coerced somewhat to support Dubya RINO position of Open Borders and the Iraq War. For a while his opinion and influence AND focus on truth WAS softened.

As I also recall, he was too soft on both Poppy and Dubya as well; he also went along with the whole NAFTA deal and ridiculed the CORRECT positions of Ross Perot.

That said, when he was ON and dishing unfettered truth, Rush was an amazing analyst. I miss THAT.

He actually warned against W in 2004, however after W won, he went on to rationalize his election.

I don't think he was dishonest, I think he just preached to the choir too much.

His Clinton countdown was actually funny.

All conservative talk is on FM. You might want to check your local listings.

Totally disagree. Why?

If you split the media in Left vs Conservative, the Left's "news" is pure 100% weaponized bullsh*t & propaganda; It's Late Nite "comedians" catapult thinly veil the same exact bullsh* & propaganda AS "entertainment".

With what few conservative media outlets there are in Prime Time (Gutfield, Tucker) try to blend the two. Truthfully AND adeptly IMO.

He did; But that "choir" was Dubya's Republican Establishment fanbois. As an actual "conservative" he lost me for a while.

Rush was frustratingly weak on calling out Dubya's dismal border enforcement position.

And about that liberals own television... while you're right, it doesn't look like the majority of our populace is really all about that agenda anyway. lots of abysmal tv ratings for years now, and worse now than ever.

Right.. Colbert is still bashing Trump...

I remember that I posted a colbert joke. A guy made a pure white something.

The joke. It was so white it had a daughter named Haley.

And he gets a pass and a laugh.

Imagine if someone elae had a joke that it was so black that it had a daughter named Shaniqua.

Crap would be hitting the fan.

Dave Chapelle can sling the "N" on national tv. SBL and it ok.. the most vile word on the planet.

Liberals control TV news and their ratings are horrible.
Liberals control late night comics and nobody laughs.
Liberals tried talk radio and it was a disaster. I tuned in to the Cuomo show. The best way to describe it:
You're asked to attend a funeral for one hour every day for people who you did not know. Sound like fun?
