Wasn't Rush the one who pioneered the "media montage"? This kind of stuff never gets old.
I once spent some hours reading microfilm copies of a mid-19th century newspaper for a tiny town in Illinois. It was chockablock with national and international news as well as intelligent reporting on local and regional matters. There was no celebrity or infobabe component and the op ed was an unknown phenomenon. The reader was served up interesting and straightforward material.
I dare say the national and international material wasn't original material but it seemed like honest to gosh "just the facts" journalism. In larger communities you could get different flavors of opinion because there would be more than one newspaper and all NOT owned by the same people.
This tiny circle of ownership today AND rampant censorship of views counter to the ultra leftist pieties is a sick perversion of a free press. Other than the internet, even in its precarious position, where the media are concerned, we're awash in something unclean.
