You give it to him.

He is awesome at spreading lies and misinformation. He touts himself as factual and there are plenty of people who believe him when he spews his "facts." I don't listen to him, I don't contribute to his ratings and marketshare. Being able to read transcripts from OTHER news sources about what shit he's spewing, is not me contributing to his marketshare.
I have arguments with my dad about this man quite often, I can't argue if I don't know anything about him. I am attempting to reduce his marketshare by persuading others to NOT listen to him. Can't do that if I can't justify why.

Sorry I didn't respond to your ridiculous assumption earlier. I was busy being a productive member of society.

By the way, my panties don't get in a wad because I wear the non-ride up kind. I also don't stick "tampons in my ears" as Rush suggested a female caller had done, I know where those go.
