Despite it's IMMENSE popularity and commercial success, why won't ANY American network screen "Fahrenheit 9/11"?

I rest my case.

As for Limpbutt being a cult, once a cult is LARGE enough, it's a religion. Like Christianity, or Scientology. Perhaps Rush should claim tax-free status? Rush is as MSM as you can get now.

re: As for Rush, well, he's Rush. Mainstream? More like a cult following.

Mainstream? He claims to be the most popular talk show in the US. What's your definition of mainstream?

The point is, when you are talking about media, Rush is unapologetically Republican (as opposed to conservative). Same with Fox and all Clear Channel radio stations. The "traditional" mainstream media, ABC, CBS and NBC bend over backwards to appear neutral.

The whole "liberal media" thing is a smoke screen... the "eyes and ears" in the US see at least as much Neo crap as they see liberal crap. More Neo stuff in my opinion, the "bully pulpit" has it's advantages.
