- If Limbaugh should be accountable to the FEC and/or the FEC for
- "campaigning" for George Bush, then the producers of Murphy Brown,
- the Bloodworth-Thomases, and the producers of Tiny Toons should
- also be so accountable. Not to mention Dan Rather/Sam Donaldson/
- Peter Jennings/Ted "Mr. Hanoi Jane" Turner, etc.

- To the victor belongs the spoils. The Bush Administration couldn't go
- after the above people or even the the Government financed bias on
- PBS, because the press and Congress were too strong. However, Jym
- Dyer has good reason to hope that with both the Congress and the
- Presidency and most of the press and radio, it will be possible to get
- rid of Rush Limbaugh and other politically incorrect people in the
- media.
