(ChattahBox)—The extreme right-wing lawmaker Rep. Steve King (R-IA), grilled NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before a House panel today, demanding that he apologize at once to hate talk radio host, Rush Limbaugh, for comments he made referring to Limbaugh, as divisive.

In its most extreme form, duopoly ideology amounts to nothing less than the overt falsification of reality.
