Secondly, as I established, wherever this guy's information came from, it didn't come from Rush. It may have come directly from another host or rather it's his interpretation of events.

Most blogs do the same. Heck, even the way that news is presented expresses opinions one way or the other. I agree with Adam's assertion that it's wrong to cherry pick one guy as "proof" that talk radio misinforms people. I think that my assertion would be that <i>every</i> news source can potentially misinform people, and that simply believing what is said or written is foolish, regardless of whose "side" the source is on.

They belong to all of us. There is a limited number of frequencies available, thus the requirement that stations be licensed. When these radio hosts (who will tell you themselves that they are not journalists) present their entertainment under the guise of "news" it is misleading. This kind of misinformation on the public airways should, at the very least, be disclosed. The difference between blogs and talk radio Adam, is that the airways are public. They belong to all of us.
