Yeah, he was only 44. Fish was cancer, diagnosed just a few weeks ago already at stage four. You can reassure your niece that we've got a long ways to go before Mark-Paul Gosselar karks it.

I do think having an audience is part of the problem, but to me it's more of a "monkey on your back" situation--just like YouTubers who feel the need to constantly escalate, Limbaugh got into a cycle of needing to be more and more outrageously offensive in order to maintain the size and devotion of his audience. Having an audience doesn't disinhibit these folks directly, rather it's the terror of losing the audience once they have it.
