Rush Limbaugh to host Trump in "virtual rally"

boombox4 said:
But you also said the Rush affiliates were responsible for equal time, which I doubt Biden would take advantage of. Our media is so polarized right now that I sort of doubt that the equal time principle means anything.

I agree that they probably won't, but I'd suggest they should. A key part of a president's job is to speak to all of America, even those who do not ideologically agree with him. I'd argue his disregard for this part of the job is a significant reason why Pres. Trump's approval ratings have rarely been over 40%.
 
Did they take the top and bottom of the hour breaks? Both the networks and locals would have to make up lost spots. How many stations had anyone available to dive for the BLEEP button to cut Trump's F-bomb. I know of one.

We're still talking about the word going out on broadcast stations although the credible reports say the station feed had the world deleted while the internet feed did not. The FCC does not regulate streaming audio on the web.

Between press conferences and rally's POTUS has frequently used swear words that technically would violate FCC rules. TV and Radio stations were phoning their lawyers asking whether they would be held liable, but not surprisingly, nothing ever came of it.

Because you need a stool pigeon, someone who is offended by obscene words and isn't in love with the president.

A fleeting expletive is the same whether it comes from a rapper or the president. It just takes someone to complain.

In the old days, the conservatives were the ones who complained about obscene language. Now they're the ones who use it all the time.

But none of the opposition are listening to Rush Limbaugh, are they. They already hate Trump with a passion, no further 'energizing' of that sort needed.

I listen to him all the time. He's very entertaining. Occasionally he makes sense. This used to be true a lot more often four years ago.

Amazingly, he read an email today that said he was wrong. He was criticized for saying something bad about Trump. How? No one is a bigger Trump supporter. The email said Trump doesn't have to explain the embassy in Jerusalem. Evangelicals who listen to the show already understand.

Today he said America as we know it is in danger. The opposition has been around since the Founding Fathers but they've never been this organized.

"Make America Great Again" is somehow a bad thing, he says. But that's what he wants, for everyone. That's what Trump wants, he says, for everyone.
 
Vaccines: on the way
Trump: Sinking in own morass.
Limbaugh: Dying.

The coming year will see the end of three diseases; one medical and two cultural.
