I blame talk radio for much of what is wrong with my country.

That, I'm not so sure of. I only know about one in particular - Father Coughlin - but that's radio back in the 30s, if I recall correctly, and that makes me wonder how many others there might have been.

Granted, there's a sight more channels to choose from now, and that shit's on most of them. But it's on message boards, too - and television - the late and unlamented crossfire springs to mind.

The cultural footprint of this kind of drek is both bigger and older than the Limbaughnnabies.

Coughlin was shut down for cheerleading the Nazis. Nowadays... oh, no need to finish that sentence.

Yeah, I know.

The Futurists would have loved it here. No secret they all went Fascist at the first opportunity.
