Zev Chafets Delivers Masterpiece On Limbaugh
Elective Decisions ^ | 7/4/08 | Chris Davis

Palm Beach–In what could only have been deteremined as a yet another hit piece by the New York Times, Zev Chafets, delivered a masterpiece in his 8,000 words on Rush Limbaugh. There are certain times that many pieces of literary work should be written.

I can think of no better time than the Fourth of July to publish this excellent piece. The piece is a study of Limbaugh, his lifestyle, an abbreviated life history, and his stance on many issues. It flashes back and forth throughout his life, but gives Americans a better understanding of what Rush LImbaugh does and why he does it.

Agreed. It showed what good journalism looks like—neither too fawning nor too critical. It let the readers make up their mind.

It was so rare for journalism that the piece, in itself, became a masterpiece.

Mr. Chafets did, indeed, write a balanced article about Rush Limbaugh. Hard to believe this was published in the NYT.

Link to the article.

Wow, this was an excellent article. I really liked the Ted Baxter label he applied to O’Reilly - priceless...

Why did you not listen for eight years? News, entertainment, slams Democrats. Whats not to like?

Rushbo’s southern command center, although somewhat obscure, doesn't appear to be that secure. A concern of mine is that some liberal nut job will try to harm Rush. Losing this man would be a tremendous blow to American conservatives ... no one articulates our position as cleverly with that ever present sense of humor as Rush.

Anyone here remember that once, a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away, El Rushbo actually did a TV commercial for the NY Times?

Better yet, can anyone find it online and post the link?

He runs his mouth, to summarize.

Well, I’m stuned. As is my beeber. A piece in the NY Times on Rush that didn’t attempt to eviscerate him!

I can almost hear the assignment editor shouting... “Hey, who’s this ‘Limbow’ guy? I just heard he inked a 400 million dollar contract for something they call ‘talk radio.’ Maybe we should report this... Let’s send someone to do some background on this guy. But don’t be too mean to him. Someone with that sort of money may be looking to invest it somewhere, and if we’re really nice, maybe he’ll invest in Times stock...”
