Limbaugh is paid to entertain. When Limbaugh can no longer sell soap he'll be out of a job. That some people find him informative or religiously accept his pronouncements as though from God Almighty is due to the weakness of those audience members.

People have a choice whether or not to listen to Limbaugh, read the NY Times, listen to CBS, or watch the Daily show. Some are so weak-minded as to think that any of those sources is unimpeachable. Is that the NY Times' responsibility? Limbaugh's responsibility? Etc. I think you'll agree with me that people are responsible for their own choices.

To believe otherwise would mean that you believe in an aristocracy of some sort -- in which smart people should tell dumb ones how to believe. No thank you.
