18. If Rush Limbaugh claims that his show is his opinion only, I think that would
be a step in the right direction. If he claims most of it is fiction he made up and that he does no fact checking, that would be the second step. Then and only then would I say that he has gained his right to free speech. What he actually does is propaganda and I think there was a time that this could be fined or at least frowned upon unless it was labeled as such or as advertising. Also, worse than other voices out there being in short supply, there are markets where he is carried simultaneously on several stations because Clear Channel owns them all and supposedly can do that. The time for some sensible regulations has arrived as to exactly what programers can and cannot do and how many radio outlets can be owned by one corporation.
