    Well... Here's a bit of irony:
    The US is one of the last places on earth to use those wonky imperial measurements ! :D

    And you still get the number of fluid ounced in a pint wrong. And if it wasn't for pirates you would be using the metric system.

    You still don't get it, and you're being a dick about it while being an ignoramus.

    Syndicated political talk/entertainment did not exist prior to rush. Nobody is saying Rush was Guglielmo Marconi nor that he originated talk radio, but you're being obtuse.

    Isn't this more related to the fairness doctrine and being allowed to advertise during news?

    Rush was mostly there at the right place/time.

    As far as the hate, the character didn't exactly spread joy & happiness did he? Mostly 'Simple Solutions' to complicated problems. Like drug addiction..... :D

    You say that as if there was only one slot available and he took it. There was nobody else on his level.

    So now we keep adding in more specifics to try and make him look special - he was not special and didn't do anything special other than be in the right place at the right time along with many others as radio changed to syndication. Not an innovator. Just a loud mouth who spouted whatever would get him attention.

    Not even close. Look at my first post in this thread.

    " true ignorance of the man. Rush pioneered the syndication of political talk radio. "

    Meanwhile, you have yet to give a single example of someone who did what he did as you keep ignorantly claiming.

    According to one of Rush's old producers, what he did pioneer was during his career was the that it was ok if there were a few seconds without anyone talking. A little air silence is ok.

    So the best thing about Rush was when he was silent?:Poke:

    You're correct, I missed that silliness in your first post. Being the first in syndication is NOT remotely being an innovator :crackup:

    There are too many political commentators in too many different medias to list them. If you're too ignorant to understand that well, that's on you. Google isn't that hard to work...
