Rush not only provides the facts but gives his interpretation of what those facts mean. What more can we ask for?
Fair comment. But what more can we ask for?
A population that thinks about the facts - actually thinks - and comes to conclusions on their own.
Rush has two big things going for him - he has a totally solid research team, and his callers provide not just talk fodder, but additional information. Yet, should we as a whole blindly accept his judgements? He'd be horrified at the thought of that.
He does op-ed journalism at it's finest. "Here are the facts. Here is what I think. What do you think?" He never insults the listeners intelligence. He challenges it.
I listen to him - sometimes - prefer music than talk. I'll read the transcripts more often.
