Now that they played their part in smearing Rush Limbaugh and creating a firestorm that resulted in Limbaugh being criticized by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and eventually being dropped from the group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams, some in the media are admitting they used alleged "quotes" that they cannot confirm.

First, here is Rick Sanchez at CNN apologizing for using quotes against Limbaugh that he now admits he cannot independently confirm . . . MSNBC's David Shuster admitted on air today that they cannot verify the quotes they used either, be he did not apologize . . . But now the damage is done - and both CNN and MSNBC know it. They knew it when they used the false quotes, and they got what they wanted. Now they sanctimoniously try to make it look like they care about journalistic ethics, when the fact is, they will do anything to smear and destroy a conservative. . . . (VIDEOS)

Rush ought to sue for defamation of character.

[Safrguns]

Their public admission of not verifying the quotes is admissible evidence if Rush chooses to sue.

He should soak them for every penny they have... or that he can get.

[DBrow]

At least they issued the false quotes in the correct font.

They do this all the time. The NYTimes “correction “ box is an example, “Unfortunately we quoted Mr. X as saying “No way at all do I support the war!” when actually he is a staunch supporter. Sorry.”

They have become mere propaganda tools to the totalitarian wannabes.

These people owe Limbaugh a retraction and an apology. I’m sick and tired of these liberals thinking they can pull any nonsense they want with regard to a conservative, and get away with it. Limbaugh may not be mad at them, but I am, in spades.

These liberals in the media are no more than idiots, who spew crap about others with no regard to whether it’s true or not. They are also no more than mouthpieces for the Democratic Party. Enough is enough.

Former Pres. GWH Bush referred to Olberman and Maddow as “sick puppies” today. It’s about time!

BTTT

[poobear]

How do it go?

“It’s not the validity of the accusation but the seriousness of the charge.”

[WellyP]

Crush ‘em Rush!

[Tupelo]

Well, ain’t that just special.

Well, ain’t that just special.

[FatherofFive]

Shuster admitted on air today that they cannot verify the quotes they used either, be he did not apologize

"Even though he didn't say it, I know that is what he believes."

These people are beyond belief.

Fake but Accurate.
It's the Drive By media's middle name.

[Bad Jack Bauer]

Do you still beat your wife?

[tobyhill]

This is amazing. The Lame Stream Media has just admitted they slandered and libeled Rush. Should be an easy case now.

**Crush ‘em Rush!**

Sue them all and then whatever is left of MSNBC.. buy it for $10. Just for the priviledeg of saying ... Screwball, Overbite, MadCow.. you’re ALL FIRED.

[LiberConservative]

The media would love for Rush to file a lawsuit. He's too effective slamming 0bammie. A lengthy court battle would distract all of us from the real issues.

[Tupelo]

CNN? Isn't that the network that devoted a long segment to fact checking a COMEDY skit?
Sorry but I am not interested in anything from a faux news outlet.

This Isn't About Rush The left is on the march -- the march to isolate, stigmatize, demonize, discredit and ultimately silence those who stand in their way....At the risk of sounding trite, we are at a crossroads in this country, and the left is proving each day how ruthlessly unprincipled it will be in advancing its goal of fundamentally changing this nation. I pray and honestly trust that conservatives will be emboldened, not cowered, by this nasty, sordid turn of events.

The luxury of calling oneself a "moderate" is over. Very soon, sides are going to be chosen and things are going to get very, very ugly in our communities.
