I like your answer. There have been a couple of others with good answers on this thread. Others feel the need to lecture or insult. I look them up and they seem to follow the same pattern - impressive resumes which probably gives them the need to believe themselves above others.
I don't need lectures. I am just trying to start a conversation.
Getting back to your post, I also want to comment that I like what Rush is doing lately. As FNC gets more and more viewers, he is "appearing" more on different FNC programs - via phone, of course. I see this as part of a strategy to spark the curiousity of new viewers and have them tune into his program.
No apologies needed. I didn't think you were tearing him down. My words go out to those who tear any of the radio host down, be they listeners or other host. We all have our own favorites we like to listen to, and others who we just don't get excited about. We even have some great local host who are more talented than some of the national host.
I'm not a big Beck fan, but its not because of his recent show. Its because of his radio show back in 2008, when he was night after night warning us that school buses were being targeted by Muslim terrorist and he had parents in a state of hysteria. As a father of an 7-year old, I was one of them. And it was all based on Internet rumors that were debunked. There was no plot. No buses were missing. Just a rookie radio host caught up in the excitement of a urban legend. I do still listen from time to time and his show has matured some, and I am thrilled he has captured a new audience not touched by the other host, but I'm not going to join others and rip the guy ether. The only one I will rip is Savage, I can't stand the guy.
