I remember Rush's show being sabotaged from the start. My local station first ran it at noon, up against his radio show. They then moved it to midnight, followed by other moves to several different early morning hours. The TV schedules stopped listing it, as the air times would fluctuate so much and it was not on when slated. Finally they started moving it to odd early AM times. I remember it starting at 3:15 one morning, then at 4:22 a couple of days later. Some days it it didn't show at all. Advertisers wanted the show, but the cute leftist TV management made it impossible for them.

Yeah, it was quite something to watch: proof positive of the media's amazing dishonesty and double-standard.

When it was clear Rush wasn't going away, the pompous PBS types convened a forum of 'distinguished' contributors to 'view with alarm' the phenomenon of 'political talk radio.' I can't recall now all who participated but it was the usual bunch of suspects: familiar flap-mouthed liberal second-raters all.

I watched in absolute fascination as they harumphed with righteous indignation for a full hour without once mentioning Rush's name or even acknowledging his existence! He was clearly the reason for their great passion but he was The One Who Could Not Be Named. It was completely unreal and existential. I knew then, sometime in the early '90s, that the MSM were doomed. I think they knew it too.
