In these excerpts from one of his early interviews, Rush reveals how the talk radio sausage is made. Like any form of entertainment, the primary goal is to capture the attention of the audience and compel them to keep listening. Rush is remarkably candid in describing his attitude toward his performance and the importance of caller screening.

  • Funny, if you listen to him speak here, he actually comes across as an intelligent person. Ironically, his program is a sharp criticism of his own audience: they'll idolize anyone willing to endorse the shit they believe, even if he's clearly only doing it for profit. More than one Rush fan I know would be crushed if they saw this. Or not; they'd most likely rationalize the fact that Rush is basically admitting he's a shameless attention whore... convince themselves Rush still cares about them.

  • @jigen08 The Founding Fathers were liberal in the classic sense of the word, which is essentially modern day libertarianism which is on the rise.

  • So he's basically admitting that his whole show is just an act. He even implies towards the end that he doesn't believe in what he says. I don't really have that big of a problem with an entertainer misleading the populace. The problem is that the shit he spews incites hatred and has actual political influence.

  • @juansihi

    LOL, sucker.

  • Remember, half the population have an IQ below 100, but everybody feels their above average. And Rush is making millions off of these two points.

  • He has a point. You ought to ask whether you are being played with every media source you consume

  • Rush looks like Chris Christie in this video!
