114. Look, I'm willing to look at your diatribes as long as you don't have to
throw insults like me being a poor student of history in along with it. In the past before we got radio and later television and computers, print media was just that. You paid your dime for your paper. If you didn't like what they said you didn't buy it again. You bought the competitor instead and most likely you stayed with the paper that gave you the most reliable information. Today, you can't help being assaulted by propaganda and lies no matter where you go and the commercializing of faux facts has a lot to do with how stupid people are thinking today. The fathers were working in a different era and sure "let them print what they like and smart people will sort them out" was the mentality. But surely they wouldn't consider Limbaugh's assaults on reason and facts as worthy of First Amendment protection in today's political climate as you do. It's time to make him tell the truth or admit that his product is fiction. It's not that hard to do and won't interfere with any of his rights although most likely he won't be making millions any more.
