You know... as far as "using" Fox for "sympathy" I see it no differently than the police putting the distraught mother of the missing child begging for their kid's safe return on TV.
You want to show how much this event (in this case disease) can hurt people, and then tell them what can be done to help it. I think *Most* people know that of course the media is going to play on our emotions. It's nothing new and nothing others haven't done in the past, or won't be done in the future, so why attack M J Fox for doing it ?

Stern was the very first person to do something as extreme as he does it in the history of broadcast radio. Sex sells......and he was a major trailblazer in bringing it into every household and car in the country. I don't think you can really compare. When you are getting paid half a billion dollars to talk on satellite radio....you must have done something right.

Because he's supporting a liberal candidate of course. I am so sick of this whole 'hurr lie-berals' 'hurr republi-can'ts' argument. It's never about issues and policy, it's always 'you suck because you belong to this party and vote this way.'

Yes, because I find Jon Stewart funny and entertaining, as well making some good points, obviously I know nothing. It has nothing to do with the fact that I do not agree with the new laws and policies that have been made by the current republican majority.
For instance-I agree with gay marriage, stem cell research and abortions. This means I will support the candidate who believes the same things.
If John McCain runs for president in 2008 and I agree with his stances, then I will vote for him (I should have my citizenship by then).

I personally think Ann Cooter just says the things she says to sell books. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Did anyone happen to catch Micheals interview with Katie?

I think he explained the effects very well.

Not much to compare. Limbaugh dominates the ratings among adults in nearly 600 markets.

Stern did well among youngsters in the 30 or so markets he had.

Stern, incidently, is looking to get back on regular radio, and Sirius will be available on the internet soon.

Can someone prove as they posted: "Do you remember when Rush went on and on about how drug addicts should be locked up? Well I do." Never happened.

yeah, i thought she was being post modern

October 10th, 1995:

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods, which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use, too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

On his TV show on December 9, 1993:

"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say, "Hey, you know, we can't control it anymore. People are going to do drugs anyway. Let's legalize it." It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea, and those who are for it are purely, 100 percent selfish."

... and more

The gimmick account Ann Coulter started throwing wild accusations around about libs do this and that and poor conversatives and poor Rush and blah blah blah. We're still on-topic I promise.

Yes, your "wild accusations" = the truth.

Most of these libs, posing as college boys & girls, are unable to debate issues, and jump to personal attacks and falsehoods within two sentences.

Fox still has the desease, Rush is still a jerk with big ratings.

He is not a drug addict, just hooked on them that are perscribed for him.

I do not care for him even though he has KC ties.

If he was the only person on Radio, I would keep it turned off!

[macallan25]

I believe when you are "hooked on drugs" you are most likely a drug addict. Most coke addicts are......hooked on coke.
