It’s not too bold a claim to state that the idea of conservative talk radio owes its existence to Rush Limbaugh. He created it.
Rush owes his existence to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, a piece of legislation that demanded any news outlet covering a story was required to share both sides of the story. While the concept of a mainstream media wasn’t what it is today, the main broadcasters did generally cover news with the same viewpoint, tossing in Conservative views as a token. Opponents of the Fairness Doctrine argued that while regardless of the intention, the reality was the doctrine contravened the constitution by violating free speech rights guaranteed in the First Amendment.
When the FCC voted to strike the Fairness Doctrine from its books Congress put in place legislation to more formally codify it, a move that was vetoes by President Ronald Regan.
From the, there rest is history. Without the need to present the other side of the story, which was all you heard on other news outlets, Limbaugh was able to speak in a Conservative voice and the results must have been frightening for the Liberal elites.
While mainstream media gave a homogeneous viewpoint and conveyed the belief that this viewpoint was the norm, Limbaugh’s viewership exploded, proving quite the opposite. By 2017 Limbaugh was American’s most listened to radio host with 14 million Americans tuning in daily.
Early on in his success he published two books both of which were New York Times best sellers. In “The Way Things Ought to Be” he committed to Conservative principles and the idea of American exceptionalism.
In “See I Told You So” Limbaugh commits to principles of law and order, God, family and the American dream and how hard work can get you there, interspersing his commentary with lessons from his own life. He details what it is that Liberals hate about American and why and then does on to predict what the Clinton presidency will bring.
What makes Limbaugh’s second book so fascinating to read today is how even while the title suggests a look backwards in time, it’s fantastically predictive about the years that were about to come ahead. Three decades from its publication date, he’s still telling us he’s right.
In addition to his two best sellers, Limbaugh published a series of historical fiction books for children under the “Rush Revere” title. Each of these stories features a time traveling hero and brings the stories of the foundation of a nation to new light.
