.
AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

IF THERE IS ANY DIFFERENCE


FCC ONLINE COMPLAINT FORM
To Whom It May Concern (Does That Include You, Dear Reader?)

CHAIRMAN, FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION,
CHAIRMAN, FEDERAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION,

We wish to file an official complaint, for immediate action. For many years now, the Rush Limbaugh radio program has been nothing but a three-hour-long Republican campaign commercial, every day of the week, all year long. As such, it should have been listed as a series of financial contributions to every Republican candidate for every office at the Federal level since the inception of the program, based on the price of a 30-second advertisement on the show, multiplied by 60 minutes, multiplied by three hours, multiplied by 5 days, multiplied by 52 weeks, multiplied by 22 years: A very substantial unreported campaign contribution of free air-time to Republican candidates only. We demand that it be treated as such, and that all Republican office-holders be charged with failure to report it.

Calling this show "entertainment" or "news & current affairs" is sheer fraud. What the show is is propaganda masquerading as news & commentary. It is consistently and deliberately biased, unfair and misleading, deliberately designed to distort important issues, sway naive voters and poison our polity. Add to this the daily promulgation of hate speech and calls for violence against public figures and the public can only wonder where the Federal government is when all this is going on.

Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunctions and Howard Stern's potty-mouth are nothing compared to the daily obscenity of Rush Limbaugh calling for the failure of the very country that affords him free use of taxpayer-owned airwaves. The Supreme Court may or may not know obscenity when they see it, but all Americans know it when they hear it. Rush Limbaugh is obscene and must be fined and removed from the airwaves immediately. Any radio station that carries his filth should have its' license revoked forthwith.

It's time that government parasites and corporate boot-lickers did their jobs, serving the average American, not the corporations and the rich. If you can't, then resign. Anyone could do a better job of protecting our democracy from abuse and assaults from within. Do it now or quit today.
