What an ironic statement that is! Rush Limbaugh provided something that was “less doctrinaire”? Less doctrinaire than what? North Korean state media?
It’s fair to critique a liberal bias in the mainstream media, and I’ll accept that Roger Ailes provided some sort of conservative equivalent. But Rush Limbaugh? He has never been anything but a propagandist for right-wing political correctness, He’s as relentlessly doctrinaire as anyone in America. His flat out bias is orders of magnitude every day beyond anything that ever made it onto a non-Fox network news broadcast. He got rich off of it, sure, but wealth isn’t the same as quality, unless we are talking about entertainment value.
