I thought we were talking about Major Media. 24-hour news was one sided for years. So Rush popularized Conservative talk radio and just last year Air America, based in Canada put up a challenge. I've never seen Firing Line and didn't know about National Review until Drudge linked to it. I did known of Buckley from his op-eds.
Too bad you have such disdain for Rush, you could learn a lot from him. He's pretty funny too.
