In reply to the discussion: Does the FCC's failure to fine Limbaugh represent regulatory capture? [View all]shcrane71
(1,721 posts)Your argument doesn't stand. Why was Ms. Fluke choking back tears as she explained that it meant the world to her that Obama said her parents were proud of her? If no one is listening to Rush, then she could just ignore his slander, no? I mean, no one listens to AM talk radio... puuhleeze (you're not a from a rural state are you?). It's not as if his denigration of her spread to other media forms... oh, wait, it did. Oh well, bullies will just be bullies and we should just ignore them, right? Who cares that they have a microphone over public airwaves that should be being regulated by the FCC?!?!
Continue to write as much as you want about history that makes no difference to the debate at hand. Justify a broadcast spectrum being ceded to the Right. Regulatory capture has happened. You don't care about that. Possibly you're a Libertarian who doesn't believe in any sort of regulation. Insinuate that anyone who doesn't agree with you is dumb -- that's a GREAT way to win an argument, Rush does that a lot.
You can respond if you'd like with an argument that addresses the issue, but try not to use the word meme or trope. Everyone hates tropes nowadays.
