I don't care if they are liberal but I do care about the bias. Who, what, when, where, how? Just the news. I can figure out what to think all by my little, bitty self.

[Little Ray]

Uh, Rush Limbaugh exists to sell advertising at "confiscatory rates." He does this by presenting a show that combats the overwhelming liberal bias in all areas of the news media.

I am for a Revolution of any kind and I would prefer it be peaceable but there is no way to control that bunch in DC.
No doubt term limits and controlling donations would about answer the problem. Along with not allowing them to practice before the government for a number of years after getting out of office.
But they don't do as we say anyway and do you really think if the public really wanted term limits they would pass the law. They control the whole situation and there is no stopping to them without something drastic happening.
They have too many incentives and reasons to stay.

Uh, Rush Limbaugh exists to sell advertising at "confiscatory rates." "

Uh, Is there a problem with that? If he can get away with charging those rates, and advertisers will pay those rates? What gives? I love capitalism!! Rush is the most listened to talk radio personality ever and advertisers know that.

[Little Ray]

No, just that he doesn't exist to balance the the left-wing bias in the media. He gets to charge confiscatory rates 'cause he offered a nearly unique product (unabashedly conservative commentary) when he started and still has the best "brand recognition."

[jays911]

the latest spin is that while we claim that the "mainstream" media are leftist biased, the left claims a right-wing spin. there was a piece about it on morning edition on national people's radio this am. see below:

**Because, intentionally or not, the media are peeling off a mask to reveal their bias.**

Slowly but surely we are learn who

really are.

[Rightly Biased]

So are the rates "confiscatory"? or are the advertisers getting thier moneys worth?

[Little Ray]

They must think they are getting their money's worth or they wouldn't buy the spot!
I sure wish I had more time to listen to Rush!

[Rightly Biased]

I go into withdrawals if I'm on vacation from work and out with the Fam. Mrs. Rightly Biased says he talks to fast for her and when she gets it He's on to another subject (so as a Fam we don't listen much)
