I read Google news this A M where I saw this story about a young Muslim lady being murdered
on her way to a Mosque . This should never happen and I wanted to be informed on what was
going on . While on the internet page below I clicked on a video link to hopefully follow the story.
What I got was unbelievable . A claim that there has been an uptick on people of color be attacked
since President Trumps Election . Like white America is at fault for this . Anyway , in the exact same
story line guess who murdered this young lady . A PERSON OF COLOR. No joking here like I normally
do with flippant sarcastic one liners . This is the kind of mis-information that lodges in our countries
weaker minds.

Watch it here . Click on the far left picture that has the video icon on it.

There apparently will never be an end to this radical b.s. being distributed to the low information
people among us. With impunity I might add.

Thanks for bringing this up. It's more proof the lame-stream media are broadcasting propaganda, not news, and exploiting distraught people's situations to indoctrinate their own evil agenda into the minds of the unwary.

I rather reminds me of the scant mention of the beginning of the conservative "Tea Party" gatherings by the MSM (D), ml, and the {one/still} picture captured was of a waste-shot of one of the Tea Party attendee's - with a pistol on his hip. And to "lefty," THAT's who they wanted to portray the conservative "skin-head" movement. But a little later an alternative media source showed the full-body picture of the same "gun-slinger," and he was ---- wait for this ---- black!!! It seems, the MSM (D), is rather retarded, and hasn't yet realized, {after about 40 years}, that they are no-longer the only game-in-town. They WERE {the only game}, since the end of the 19th century, up until about 1967, when Rush Limbaugh started his "EXCELLENCE IN BROADCASTING, with half-his-brain tied behind his back, just to make it fair," conservative radio "talk-show" career. I understand that the "lefty" NYT "journalists," heard Rush for the first time, and at their usual Upper West Side, Manhattan, "elite" cocktail parties, voiced their "lefty" opinions of Rush. And apparently couldn't believe the conservative, completely unfamiliar "nonsense" Rush was spouting; and {party goers were rumored to say}, that "Rush wouldn't last a week;" about 40 years ago!!! Hummmmmmmmmm. And they STILL haven't realized "lefty journalism," can no-longer get away with their outrageous lies!!! But they STILL try!!! Interesting. I guess it's that old diabolical philosophy that "if you tell a big-enough lie, long-enough, people will begin to believe it." Another miscalculation for "lefty." It seems they NEVER took-into-consideration that SOME DAY, people like Rush and Hannity and Ingram and Malkin and Beck and Coulter and Keyes and Elder and Cain and Liddy and Dobbs, etc., would nearly put "lefty" commentators and "journalists," out-of-business!!!

Limbaugh's conservative radio talk-show career did not start until 1984 in Sacramento, Ca., and not nationally until 1988...about thirty years ago. His national show started almost immediately after Reagan eliminated The Fairness Doctrine for broadcasting.

The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission's view — honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC, which was believed to have been under pressure from then President Ronald Reagan, eliminated the Doctrine in 1987. The FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine, in August 2011.

The Fairness Doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been considered by some to be a contributing factor for the rising level of party polarization in the United States.

The main agenda for the doctrine was to ensure that viewers were exposed to a diversity of viewpoints. In 1969 the United States Supreme Court upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the Fairness Doctrine where channels were limited. But the courts did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so. The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the Doctrine. However, the proliferation of cable television, multiple channels within cable, public-access channels, and the Internet have eroded this argument, since there are plenty of places for ordinary individuals to make public comments on controversial issues at low or no cost at all.

In his mind, Rush Limbaugh (R), {"with half his brain tied behind his back, just to make it fair"} started his talk radio career in 1960, when he was 9 years old, 49. And had been dabbling in the talk-radio circuits since then. And the "Fairness (D)octrine," was a fruitless {"lefty"} "FCC" attempt to make sure Rush or Hannity or Coulter or Beck or Dobbs or Levin or Keyes or FOX, etc., would NEVER present the conservative side of life to the public; and, as a (R)esult, completely (D)rown the "lefty/fake" rags!!! "Fair and Balanced," to "lefty," is Comey hiring Mueller to hire the entire "lefty" Hillary campaign (D)onor cabal (D), to get-rid-of {(D)elegitimize/impeach} President "45" Donald J. {born again} Trump (R); the worst thing that's happened to "lefty," since before their "hero," {Chris Matthews/"MSLSD"}, "red-(D)iaper baby," Saul Alinsky (D), was even born; 1909

Here's a little more detail...

Limbaugh began his career in radio as a teenager in 1967 in his hometown of Cape Girardeau, using the name Rusty Sharpe. Limbaugh graduated from Cape Girardeau, Missouri Central High School in 1969. He played football. Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything," and "he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."

Limbaugh's biographer states that a large part of his life has been dedicated to gaining his father's respect and approval.

After dropping out of college, Limbaugh moved to McKeesport, Pennsylvania. In 1972, he became a Top 40 music disc jockey on WIXZ, a small AM radio station that reached much of the Pittsburgh area. He started with an afternoon show and later did mornings, broadcasting under the name Jeff Christie. Limbaugh moved to Pittsburgh station KQV in 1973 as the evening disc jockey, succeeding Jim Quinn. He was fired in late 1974, when the station was sold to Taft Broadcasting. Limbaugh was reportedly told by management that he would never make it as on-air talent, and should consider going into sales. Unable to find another job in local radio, Limbaugh moved back home to Cape Girardeau. He became a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers from his time in the region.

For the rest of the decade Limbaugh took jobs at several radio stations, working in music radio, before settling in Kansas City. In 1979, he left radio and accepted a position as director of promotions with the Kansas City Royals baseball team. There he developed a close friendship with then-Royals star third baseman and future Hall of Famer George Brett; the two remain close friends.

In 1984, Limbaugh returned to radio as a talk show host at KFBK in Sacramento, where he replaced Morton Downey, Jr. The repeal of the Fairness Doctrine—which had required that stations provide free air time for responses to any controversial opinions that were broadcast—by the FCC in 1987 meant stations could broadcast editorial commentary without having to present opposing views. Daniel Henninger wrote, in a Wall Street Journal editorial, "Ronald Reagan tore down this wall (the Fairness Doctrine) in 1987 ... and Rush Limbaugh was the first man to proclaim himself liberated from the East Germany of liberal media domination."

On August 1, 1988, after achieving success in Sacramento and drawing the attention of former ABC Radio President Edward McLaughlin, Limbaugh moved to New York City and began his national radio show. He debuted just weeks after the Democratic National Convention, and just weeks before the Republican National Convention. Limbaugh's radio home in New York City was the talk-formatted WABC (AM), and this remained his flagship station for many years, even after Limbaugh moved to West Palm Beach, Fla., from where he continues to broadcast his show. Limbaugh's show moved on Jan. 1, 2014 to WABC's cross-town rival WOR (AM), its current New York outlet.

Good info, 49, thanks!!! I try to listen to Rush every chance I get during drive-time - 12 noon to 3 p. m., on a FOX affiliate in S. Fla., WJNO. Cool. A true and truthful "99.7% of the time" conservative who ALWAYS makes-my-day. And Elton John, one of my favorite musicians, played at his relatively recent wedding!!! Cool, again!!!
