The same could be said of the envelope-pushing by Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and the dozens of other circus acts in the infotainment freak show. Their effect may be to debase discourse, inflame prejudice, sow ignorance, exculpate criminality, incite rancor, ruin reputations, and stoke the right-wing base - but their effect is not their job. Their job is to make money for the corporations that employ them. We may revile them for being Rove's toadies, but we're chumps if we ignore how relentlessly the companies that employ them monetize their noxious
Soon somehow free speech will be deemed 'Hate Speech' when it comes from the right but as long as it comes from left wing lesbians like Rosie Odonnell it will be deemed "Thought Provoking". I see it happening as Democrats have been pushing the "Fairness Doctrine" I asked up here why left wing talk radio never made it. Hell Air America died a miserable death even when it was fully supported with private liberal money. The reason left wing radio never made is because it is the same old tripe we hear on the Big 3,MSNBC and CNN. So the left in no way can meet or beat right wing talk radio so they will try the next best thing "CENSORSHIP". Imus was a sacrificial liberal lamb offered up to send notice of what can happen in the future.
