For Political Commentary, Listen to Ben Shapiro, not Rush Limbaugh


Chalk me up as a convinced Shapiro-ite.

Is that a word?

I’ve listened to Rush Limbaugh for over 20 years, off and on.  I just discovered Ben Shapiro 6 months ago, and started listening more a couple weeks ago.  Rush’s agenda has become increasingly clear: to advance the Republican party and President Trump, regardless of the truth.  While I was happy to see him awarded at the State of the Union for his life’s work of reviving talk radio and the conservative agenda, these days he is a one-man propaganda machine for the Trump administration.  It’s become a little sickening.

Today was the last straw.

When Rush said that Biden cancelled his events because nobody was going to show up anyway, it was such a trivialization of the pandemic. 

Shapiro, on the other hand, gave an un-prejudiced take on Trump’s speech last night.  Praise where it was due; critique where it was needed.

I’d urge folks to listen to Shapiro’s sense and avoid Rush’s propaganda.
