I wonder who said this:

Michael Moore?


Close, but no.

I thought we established this was Rush. It sure sounds like someone
who understands what "free" broadcasting is all about.
This is a guy who made millions "giving his show away for free".
The same is true of "free" TV and "free" internet services like Yahoo
and Google. You pay every time you buy something they advertise there
in higher prices. Of course Google et al is also a serious threat to
your privacy. If you are "logged in" or accept cookies your inbox is
certain to be stuffed with spam based on everything you ever looked at
on the web. They may also sell your search history to the highest
bidder. Certainly the government has free access to it.

All true, but his statement also explains what his mission is NOT, and his
most rabid devotees do not understand this.
