I have never listened to Rush for 3 straight hours. I find him too one-note and my attention span is not that tight. I like each of the 3 hours to be different focused. I usually prefer Laura Ingraham (repeated here at that hour) or Dennis Prager, because each have excellent guests with a lot of expertise.

As for academic credentials, I say this as a PhD myself, but they don't impress me. Just look at the universities and see what this brains trust has produced there. It's the biggest uncovered scandal in the nation -- every new generation that comes along, subjected to the influence of tenured, postmodernist, leftist, America-hating, Vietnam protest era ideologues, all with "academic credentials." Parents don't know that they're paying tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars to have their children's minds turned to mush. Academic credentials indeed. As Prager says, the more academic credentials they have, the less common sense and moral compass they have.

I do not apply these comments to OReilly necessarily -- I don't put him in the same boat as the country's professorial scum. I just find his research very sketchy, which is ok if he admits it, but he puts himself out there as an expert in everything and he just is not.

This great: As for academic credentials, I say this as a PhD myself, but they don't impress me. Just look at the universities and see what this brains trust has produced there.

Then after a couple of hundred thousand $'s and about 10 to 12 years of what you cite, these students can get a Phd and be on the other end of the cycle/scandal! They will be the professors.
