Rush, for all his nastiness and venom, could teach a masters class in media and marketing.

Mark Levin is a seditious fucking goblin, but hes read all the right books, ya know.

Alex Jones is truly delusional. But he rages against the machine in such a way as to convince his peeps that hes correct and theres no difference between Stalin and Fascisim and Elected Democrats.

We have to shut down hate radio.
We need to call our reps, and push them to introduce a standards in news act. No more for-profit 'news'. All the ads you want, but the production-plus profit has to be donated to a state university journalism school. IF THIS IS NOT DONE, the following applies:

You MUST call it entertainment, state before and after each commercial break that its NOT NEWS, that it hasnt been fact-checked, and that it exists for entertainment purposes ONLY, and may as well be considered fiction.

3 strikes you're OUT.

Strike 1: you're off the air for a month and you pay a fine not less than a five hundred thousand dollars.
Strike 2. You're off the air for 6 months and the fine is a million bucks.
Strike 3 and the FCC pulls your licence, and you're banned from public airwaves for 10 years. The WHOLE PRODUCTION CREW.

Because those are OUR AIRWAVES, AND YOU JUST RENT THEM.
And you're not going to be allowed to use them to whisper fascist poison into the ears of the idiots anymore.

Rush and Levin and Tucker and Dobbs would be off the air in 6 weeks.

RANT OFF.
