Rush will say anything to stir up controversy. He doesn't care whether it is true or not. He makes millions exploiting the gullible and spreads propaganda as though it were gospel, creating a vast mass of polarized listeners who take his bombastic form of entertainment as the truth. Progressive talk show hosts such as Thom Hartman, are extremely knowledgable and do their best to research every issue to impart a truthful and intelligent perspective. Big difference!

It is easier to spread and get people to believe, lies than it is to get them to do the mental work to actually use facts to understand issues. It is easier to create chaos than it is to create order. It is easier to blow up a building than to design and construct one.
