Like this...

Anyone who has been following the news would, of course, realize that the
Dems have been having a wet dream over the prospect of being able to shut
down talk radio, which for some reason doesn't seem to favor their views.

Since liberal talk radio has been a complete non-starter, the Dems'
calculation is that if they can re-impose the "fairness doctrine" on all
media, radio will have to carry enough money-losing shows having a liberal
agenda so that they will decide to drop talk shows entirely, leaving
standing only their MSM friends.

This is even more of a side-track from the list's charter....

It's so amazing that not one liberal talk show has grown legs like the
conservative ones. I hear a few on NPR, but they are so unentertaining,
so serious, so full of themselves.

Rush at least is entertaining, good enough that his opponents may form
a significant portion of his audience, and his show survives quite
nicely without relying on tax-free donations and government hand-outs.

If he were only *against* something (which seems the Liberals' primary
thrust), his show would have died when a Republican congress was
elected, when Bush 1 was elected, when he went into rehab, when ...
many things happened. He's still the liberals' nightmare.

I don't even agree with him much of the time, but I have to point out
those things.

Liberals, for some reason, don't seem to consider that others' opinions
could possibly be correct.
