Have there ever been so many absolute, blatant, crazy-as-a-shithouse rat assholes

with daily access to the automobiles and living rooms of the American people? I mean, Jesus H. Christ---stop and think about it!

Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, Savage, Malkin, Ingraham, Coulter, Dobbs and, of course, literally hundreds of local "wannabes" hoping to be so extreme, so outrageous, so over-the-top full load bozo that they will be asked to "guest host" for one of the Great Ones.

I actually recall stumbling onto an early Limbaugh show on my car radio and hearing him bluster "If you don't know what to think, listen to me; I'll tell you!" My reaction was "What an arrogant asshole! How could anyone voluntarily subject themselves to listening to such concescending and mean-spirited drivel?" Obviously, this was before I understood that the true conservative can't feel safe and secure unless someone who claims to be their superior is giving them detailed instructions on how they should live their lives. Given the choice between being forced to think for themselves and contracting syphilis, most would happily choose the clap, especially if allowed to publicly repent and beg forgiveness for their "weakness" in sampling the "sins of the flesh".

Considered individually or as one slithering organism, these folks constitute Bullshit-R-Us and I think it might be appropriate to just interrupt anyone who is quoting anything any of them has ever said with "That's obviously bullshit because Rush (or whoever) said it. I don't want to talk about bullshit. If you do, do it elsewhere, and understand that only an idiot could listen to him for over five minutes without either puking or giggling. Which do you do?"

That's all. Just had to get it out of my system. Day-um!

We really need to break up the corporate media giants.

In lieu of an assumed lack of power/influence and $$$?

Those were created to limit the ability of corporations to leverage a monopoly.

Theres no more dangerous monopoly than the media giants that overtly influence and deliberately subvert our government in concert with their supposed competitors.

Standard Oil was broken up for much less.

Beautifully said.
