A lot of people are mentioning that. I guess I would say he might have been representative of a broader movement. And I hate Rush. But as influential as he was. He wasn’t shifting the national view this much.

Zooming out - 1987 abolition of the Fairness Doctrine. I’d bet good money on this one. Fox News came 9 years later.

Clearly you aren’t if you think FCC policies are relevant to FNC.
