Musk didn’t just allow it to happen. He intentionally reshaped the infrastructure and algorithms of the platform in order for it to proliferate to serve his agendas. #Musk knows what #Zuckerberg knows what #Limbaugh knew what #Murdoch knows what #Hearst knew: fomenting division and fear turns a casual audience into ideological addicts who will make them rich while further serving their agenda.

It would be nice to see Sherrod Brown back in the senate.
I'll never forget the first time he ran.
Rush #Limbaugh told everyone on his program that "the only reason #Democrats were supporting Sher-ROD Brown (that's how he pronounced it) was b/c he's black." 🤦♂️
No one ever corrected him and he never-ever admitted his mistake. These #racist pr!cks have been bigoted douch-nozzels for decades. 😒
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit
That's why I ain't vote for him, next one either
I'm a part of the problem, my problem is I'm peaceful
And I believe in the people, yeah
#Limbaugh #racist, #GlennBeck
#Gaza #GazaStrip #bombed #Obama #vote #peaceful
Are you mystified about how a very stupid and evil-spirited #Trump could lead the #republican party today?
#Limbaugh sowed the seed of hate on a daily basis - scapegoating the vulnerable. A malignant side effect of the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine - free to say anything without rebuttal - he brainwashed white America

#Democrats are painted as "communists" who give your tax money away to "shit hole immigrants stealing your jobs", to the lazy, to "sexual deviants," to worthless regulatory agencies that "destroy the economy" ...

It Appears That Someone Urinated on Rush Limbaugh’s Grave

If the owners of St. Louis’ Bellefontaine Cemetery were smart, they'd turn his rotten, bloated corpse into a cash cow.
They'd sell tickets, water & a privacy shield for those with bashful bladders.
But seriously, 2 years ago I talked to @MattBinder about the wildly successful #StopRush campaign. It cost #Limbaugh & the distributors 100's of millions in ad revenue. https://youtu.be/jbq5jG_JgNk?t=492
Methinks the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine was a tragic blow to our democracy -- a devious form of censorship
... defended by the Cato institute and the Heritage Foundation ...
it has enabled* propagandists (#Fox #Murdoch, #Limbaugh, #Newsmax, #Musk) to dishonestly present their divisive, fear-mongering, demonizing broadcasts as #News and credible views.
The product of propaganda is fascism, Putin terrorism, Trumpism, a confused public unable to make well-informed choices.
Better Off Dead
17 February- Rush Limbaugh
What do you get if you're so vile that you won't clean your own butt? If you're Rush Limbaugh, you get the cists on his bunghole that allowed him to avoid military service.
(shudder)
This revolting fellow went on to become the unfiltered ID of white supremacists across the country. His schtick was unimaginative, dumb and offensive. So of course the morons lapped it up. This was a man whose every breath was used to lie. It's almost impossible to believe the misogyny he routinely trafficked.
Living through his rise was like being in a zombie movie. Watching people you love and respect slowly devolve into mindless angry fools is not something you'll forget. God help me but his minions called themselves "ditto heads". If you were looking for Patient Zero in the cruelty you've seen in our politics, this is the infection in it's purest from. "Chelsea Clinton is the White House dog." Dick.
He was also a junky.
If you think that drove him to have some empathy for people caught up in the criminal justice system, well you must have slept through the last 40 years.
He was absurdly influential among the neo Klansmen who make up the conservative movement. One of the lowest moments in American history was when George Bush senior fellated Rush on the air.
He eventually went deaf due to the drug use. His show started getting cloned by a broad collection of loons across the reactionary spectrum who didn't sound drunk and his market share tanked.
As a final indignity, a grotesque orange imbecile dropped a Presidential Medal of Freedom around his neck, forever sullying that honor.
Cancer grew in him. The cancer must have held its nose. It takes a special kind of scumbag to make me root for the cancer. 17 February 2021 he finally died.
Happy Anniversary.
I wonder what the moderate #Republicans who kept voting for #McCarthy for #Speaker now think, being he gave key committee seats to batshit crazy extremists who are only going to drive more voters away from the #Republican party. Or maybe there are no moderate Republicans left inside the party. The party has been getting leaner and meaner since #Limbaugh hit the airwaves.
Need a frickin' flow chart to understand what's going on in the article. I swear at all the corruption in the #Republican party. It's beyond the pale. But that's what happens when for decades people like #Limbaugh who had no moral convictions was the leader of the party. Along with #McConnell and #Newt, who do and say anything, or remain silent for power. They helped bring #Trump and all of this #corruption in. Along with #McCain when he brought nasty #Palin into the party.
@schestowitz Now that Rush #Limbaugh is dead, we need to bring a coffin into that pic.
How the #ElPaso #Killer Echoed the Incendiary Words of #Conservative #Media Stars. Are #Fox and #Limbaugh culpable when their fans kill? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/11/business/media/el-paso-killer-conservative-media.html
