Will Media Matters Force Media Outlets to Correct Air America False Mugging Story?
FOX NEWS ^ | October 18, 2007 | staff

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Last weekend, Airhead America talk show host Randi Rhodes was reportedly mugged and beaten in New York City. Another liberal host, John Eliot, immediately blamed the supposedly brutal beating on a possible right-wing hate machine. Other left-wing media outlets followed suit.

As it turns out, Rhodes wasn't beaten at all. It's believed that she fell while taking her dog for a walk.

So will liberal groups like Media Matters go after irresponsible media outlets that repeated this unfounded story?

I listened to her show today. She said she stepped outside an Irish Pub for a smoke. Next thing she knew, she was face down in a sewer grate. She said she had no idea what happened, but she “could” have been pushed from behind. She had no explanation of why she did not seek medical attention until the next morning. She considered the case closed after the first five minutes of the show and would not discuss further.

There is more of a chance that she stumbled after a sudden shift on the Earths rotation than her getting pushed. She just can’t admit that she can’t hold her liquor...

She should never have tried to walk while chewing gum.

There, fixed it!

Me thinks “Bikerchickee” is one “Randi Rhodes” in reality.

She is just testing the waters here to see who she can bait into calling her DUmb show. Just wait a little bit longer and she will fall on her face.

She really does have a pretty smile and beautiful teeth - I sincerely hope she did not damage her teeth as was originally reported.

The way this story was handled by the left was hilarious, though. Scary, but hilarious.

Which teeth did she lose? Her head’s fairly flat. Is she very tall?
