A commentator on CNN claimed that Democrats were equal to Limbaugh for things they have said and cited Ed Schultz last year. Schultz called Laura Ingram a talk slut. once again, the media seems not to make the proper differentiation while attempting to exonerate Rush for his unacceptable slander.
Rush excused himself by saying he is an entertainer. Perhaps he feels slandered when he is referred to as the 'drugster'. The glaring difference is that he did/does use drugs whereas Ms Fluke did not ask for him or others to pay for her having sex. Apparently some of the large media outlets do not do their fact checking well enough or do not have the intelligence to really interpret what they see and hear. That should give journalists failing reports if they cannot place a valence on the truth as compared to fantasy.
It sounds, if one can believe the TV reports, that Rush has lost 6 sponsors. If the people who give the station large amounts for the drivel he spews is smart, there will be more withdrawing. As Rush was quick to say, we should not have to pay for someone wanting sex, we (by supporting his sponsors, should not have to pay for his distortions, lies, and divisiveness. There are many more rabble-rousers on the networks. They may have to learn another way to cheat the ignorance of the public
After four days of progressively escalating insults, sponsor withdrawal, or whatever, Rush finally apologized.
