Reagan was the man who really made it happen

In fact in a very real sense Reagan made the EIB happen; before Reagan the FCC had the pernicious "Fairness Doctrine," putatively to keep broadcasting "fair and balanced."

It took courage to recognize and act on the fact that the "Fairness Doctrine" rigorously enforced Political Correctness in broadcasting. Polical Correctness is simply the perspective of journalism - the perspective of superficial second-guessing criticism of the productive.

I wholeheartedly agree. Of course Rush made it happen and Reagan's vision allowed it to happen.

Reagan's vision becomes more astounding every day.
