Rush is and Entertainer! That is why he got the 400 million over ten years!
He brings in ratings and ad revenue. Rush uses the "in your face" routine
to expand his branding image. He doesn't expect anyone to believe
everything he says, just like Glenn Beck, "a fusion of enlightenment and
entertainment". Rush is a master of the genre.
