The more things change, the more they stay the same.

"Teachers wrote in, as did farmers, doctors, shopkeepers, even soldiers. An astonishing number of disillusioned children also put pen to paper.
We're being educated in lies. I can't tell truth and lies apart any more. The whole world is dishonest. Politics is just a lying contest. What's the point of life?"

Limbaugh is Anti Centralization of Power. Be it Political, Media, or Business (Capitalism). Which is entirely correct.

Doesn't mean that who or what he supports to achieve his goals, is correct.

First one makes him sound vaguely anti-business.

No more anti-capitalist than anti-business. Is he a closet commie?

Shouldn't those who shout about "fake news" stand by their convictions.
Rush Limbaugh indicates he’s evacuating Palm Beach days after suggesting Hurricane Irma is fake news
On Tuesday
Limbaugh's theory:

There is symbiotic relationship between retailers and local media, and it’s related to money. It revolves around money. You have major, major industries and businesses which prosper during times of crisis and panic, such as a hurricane, which could destroy or greatly damage people’s homes, and it could interrupt the flow of water and electricity. So what happens?

Well, the TV stations begin reporting this and the panic begins to increase. And then people end up going to various stores to stock up on water and whatever they might need for home repairs and batteries and all this that they’re advised to get, and a vicious circle is created. You have these various retail outlets who spend a lot of advertising dollars with the local media.

The local media, in turn, reports in such a way as to create the panic way far out, which sends people into these stores to fill up with water and to fill up with batteries, and it becomes a never-ending repeated cycle. And the two coexist. So the media benefits with the panic with increased eyeballs, and the retailers benefit from the panic with increased sales, and the TV companies benefit because they’re getting advertising dollars from the businesses that are seeing all this attention from customers.

Limbaugh said something else on Thursday: He indicated he is evacuating his Palm Beach mansion, from which he broadcasts daily, for "parts unknown."

“May as well go ahead and announce this,” he said. “I'm not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow. ... We'll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown. So we'll be back on Monday. It's just that tomorrow is going to be problematic. Tomorrow it would be, I think, legally impossible for us to originate the program out of here.”

Limbaugh presented the departure as more of an inconvenience than a proper response to imminent danger.

“You know, I had to cancel a bunch of stuff,” he said. “I was going to go to a private movie screening this afternoon, and I had a bunch of stuff to do tonight, and now that's all blown to smithereens.”

Oh woe is me, I've been shut off from my US non-faux news channel, Sky stops broadcasting rightwing US channel Fox News in UK


No more Wallace or Shep?


All gone. The President tells me that CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg are all fake news channels, so who do I believe now.

Believe them or not.

But never trust the Mainstream Media. Be it Fox, CNN, New York Times, BBC, et al. To fairly present any 'news'.

Why should I distrust news.
I think you mean do not trust opinion.

Where would we be without investigative reporters?

Correct.

Since the Mainstream Media has degenerated into an Opinion Column. And it's 'investigative reports' only attacks one side.

I repeat the following:

It is very easy to be a talking head on Faux. It is very hard to be a reporter who has to dig dirt out of trash cans and 99% of the time there isn't anything there. Reporters have vanished in the world of corporate entertainment programs, like Faux News. Only the consumer ombudsman on the local news does reporting, and a few who still work for the wire services. Don't you want to hear about the latest nip slip? Or want to hear about some list of grievances some small group or poor people have?

100% agree.

Irrespective of Political Ideology. The Main Stream Media has degenerated into Talking Heads just spouting. That is not News.

Include the once respected New York Times and other Newspapers. Their 'reporting' has also degenerated into opinion and ideological beliefs. Which once, and very correctly. Was confined, in most part. To their Editorials, Opinion Contributors, and Letters to The Editor.


I agree, Clyde.

Is the reason for the general populations view of media and belief in fake news, is because of the views in this;

Note to Clyde: if your children and grand-children haven't shared Kid Rock with you, he's a rapper, then rap-metal, then country singer. Not the same as Duane ("The Rock") Johnson.

It would have to be my teenage, or a few years younger grandchildren. Not my 4 month to 5 years old.
Unfortunately they have not 'shared' :(

Instead of Kid Rock.

Perhaps you should share our next Swedish King:)
King Sean the first Banan.
