That figures like Rush Limbaugh and their level of influence exist, as well as on the opposite of the media political spectrum, as self-fulfilling visions of the world, is one of the tragedies referenced in the article as revealed in Sowell's extensive research and (>50 books) publication.

Number of books and number of readers are not well correlated, news at 11.

What makes a figure like Rush Limbaugh a tragedy?

That is not at all what I wrote. Apologies that my run-on sentence was difficult for you to parse.

Still can’t parse upon reinspection but am interested in understanding what you were getting at? Could not connect Limbaugh’s influence to any “tragedies” in the article even after rereading.

Rush Limbaugh exist, as well as on the opposite of the media political spectrum

Rush is a commie? On all the spectrums?

Opposite to media spectrum? What is opposite to media?

Too late to edit the comment. If I had written "...opposite end of..." it might have been clearer.

I did not mean the opposite of a political spectrum, but since you raise the question, I am very optimistic that it exists.

Well you could have been even more clearer than that, by not using double speek.

Interesting that neither one of us seems to know what the other is talking about.

These sound like extremely confused questions. My apologies.
