Also Pickard, America’s Battle for Democracy: The Triumph of Corporate Liberalism and the Future of Media Reform. I’m not saying any of the above *caused* right-wing talk radio. But the creation of an infrastructure for it absolutely has connection to the end of ownership rules, Fairness Doctrine.

The ownership rules were what really mattered. Until then, Limbaugh was just a local phenom, like Bob Grant in NYC and others.
