TMI 02/26/2021 – The Damage of Limbaugh w/ Peter B. Collins, Pop Culture’s War on Peace

For decades, a fellow from Missouri named Rush Hudson Limbaugh III dragged media standards away from objective reporting of factual events, past the realm of opinion and into the depths of slander and service to the darkest impulses of humanity’s prejudices. But how did it all get that way? Joining us is equally-veteran in the radio industry Peter B. Collins, who will outline precisely how Rush came to prominence and even go over his own experience meeting Mr. Limbaugh early on in Rush’s career.

Then, we will discuss how the very idea of war is deeply and persistently ingrained into USA’s pop culture, and how this makes any push for peace far more difficult than it needs to be. All this and more on TMI for Friday, February 26, 2021! Listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
