(9,090 posts)deifying reagan, excusing his crimes and those of his accomplices and managers, and rewriting history was largely enabled by the fact that reagan killed the fairness doctrine in 87 and they created a monopoly for a massive propaganda op that's still working well now.
he turned the party of lincoln into the party of limbaugh
while the left likes to blame the propaganda machine on clinton and the telecommunications act later the right was already using rw radio successfully to vastly improve their political power and get things like media consolidation and deregulation from the dems. it is the unchallenged blatant lying and repetition of it that the fairness doctrine would have inhibited that made the difference.
considering time lost on global warming, the biggest mistake in political history belongs to the 'left', who's organizations and the dem party continue to ignore rw radio.
