Don't worry, they'll silence Rush too.

Great...Rush's numbers are up. Is that really a news story? Do we really want our news sources to just report who's winning the popularity contests?

Yes, because the popularity of Rush's show indicates the consensus of Americans. The reason Rush is so popular is because most Americans are conservative. They will listen to whoever reflects their views.

The smart politicians will absolutely take notice of this.

I have only heard Rush about two or three times ever, but I used to own two of his books and was generally in agreement with most of his political views.

Not a big Rush fan, but when the man's right, he's right.

They do it quite frequently for the liberals; no reason the conservatives shouldn't get an honest plug occasionally.

But to answer your question, no they shouldn't "just report who's winning the popularity contests?". They SHOULD be reporting the facts of the sleazy operations going on in academia AND government; BUT THEY AIN'T!!!!

Sorry for posting a viewpoint that opposes to yours. In your strange little world, if someone disagrees with your viewpoint they shouldn't read or comment on the your thread, huh? It's no wonder that you are such a close minded fellow. Don't worry...I won't comment on any of your threads again. We wouldn't want to cause that thing you call a brain to hurt itself by actually thinking about a topic.
