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

Posted on 10/18/2007 7:46:21 PM PDT by Baladas

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?

Trick question.

I can’t believe anyone would believe the story that she was beset by right wing ruffians — everyone knows we spend all our time stalking that family of health care thieves.

Nah - they weren’t listening to Err America, either.

We are owed more of an explanation than that! I want to know if the rumors are true that she was acting like a drunken idiot inside the bar, insulting bartenders and such. Those of us on the right, who happened to be much maligned as a group over this incident, have a right to know!

Speak for yourself, I’m still busy harassing DJs for playing the Dixie Chicks. That takes up most of my spare time.

LOL!

She spent most of the time whining that nobody asked how she was and that she had major dental surgery to replace her missing teeth that presumably fell down the sewer. She mentioned being in an Irish Pub, but said nothing about drinking anything! Ironic that she had to go outside to smoke and leave the safety of her bar stool! BTW.. she never mentioned having her dog with her.

They let the dog into the pub?

She tripped over the dog leash. That is why you don’t bring the dog along on a bender.

She probably tripped over a sleeping homeless person, one that was created by the Evil Bush Administration.

The Duke Lacrosse players were the ones that mugged her.

Not too many people can hold 14 Bloody Marys steady.

Then how is Randi supposed to get her booze?
