Whatever. I was speaking of the MSM. Those you mention were small players compared to Rush. They were local hosts.Who said they were, dumb fuck?As it is today, leftism controlled MSM back then. Rush became big, because many Americans were sick of the constant leftism promoted by the media. Because he was so effective in exposing the left's stupidity, he was vilified by the Left MSM.
You being a dupe, accepted what the .01% wealthy left MSM told you.
Zero of those people I listed were "leftists", Dumbass.
You did.
And I quote, "it was leftism all day long". Whelp --- no it wasn't and you're full of shit.
The national media has been liberal for decades. You know that right? If you dispute that, then we can just stop this now.
So you're complaining that they didn't attract enough audience because they weren't polarizing enough?
Still doesn't work. Charles Coughlin's radio shows were so widespread you didn't even need your own radio.
And no, they weren't "local hosts". They were national. The fact that you're ignorant of them doesn't make them retroactively shrink.
Here's Mike Wallace interviewing one of those subjects, Fulton Lewis, in February 1958.
Lewis had an audience of sixteen million on 500 "liburrul media" radio stations.
