3. People fear him. Remember a while back when a couple ofSenators
contradicted Rush or made some critical remarks about him.
These were Republican Senators. Rush let loose over the airways
against these Senators --guess what they PUBLICLY APOLOGISED
to Rush. The message was loud and clear. Do not mess with
Rush--he is more powerful than a U.S. Senator.

Therefore, I assume the Media is not going to mess with him
because he would take one of them at a time and do everything
in his power to end their career.

We no longer have the Media of Cronkite, Smith, Huntley, Brinkley,
etc. They existed when the News Media was News. Since they
changed to News is entertainment, the Media no longer has the
clout and Moral Authority earlier journalists had. Instead
of Rush being able to ruin the Media, the Journalists of that
era could have finished Rush. Entertainment Media fall into
same category as Rush but a rung higher.

This contributes to a diminishing Democracy.
