Media Bias: Not long after pro football welcomed a convicted felon back on the playing field, Rush Limbaugh is dropped for his opinions from a group seeking to buy an NFL franchise. Won't someone throw a flag?
When even Keith Olbermann says back off, you know the politically correct critics of the conservative icon and megaradio talk host's proposed part ownership of the St. Louis Rams are guilty of piling on.
The prospect of the leading conservative voice in America participating in the purchase of a football team sent the liberal elites into cardiac arrest and into a frenzied campaign once known as the politics of personal destruction.

Very well, NFL. Your wish is granted, as far as this Conservative is concerned.
I wish conservatives would ban together just once and make a difference as we should be able too. We can turn off NFL and the advertisers and make a difference.
MSN’s article about this never once mentioned that the statements attributed to Rush were fabrications, only that he claims they are. They also didn’t mention the dubious sorce. No bias there.....
“Perhaps someone should be fired.” Fired my sit down part. Every one of those bottom feeders (cleaned up to meet FR standards)should be sued for every dime they have ever made and will make for the rest of their lives.
We've got to starve this socialist monster. The dollar is our strongest weapon.
Boycott anything having to do with the NFL, including their advertisers.
I am RUNS WITH RUSH. A proud member of the tribe. God love ya, Rush. God love ya!
I’m done with the NFL.
Rather than boycott, I think Rush should do the exact opposite.
Given all the NFL games that are not sold out leading to local “Black-outs”, Rush should make a call out to his listeners/supporters to sell out those games. This would show how much support Rush has, and what an opportunity the NFL has missed.
" These fabricated quotes designed to slime a prominent conservative pundit deserve condemnation at least as fierce as those directed at the McNabb comments. Perhaps these guys should do less "fact checking" on "Saturday Night Live" skits and more on what they call news. Perhaps somebody should even be fired."
The good side of that is it would show how much power Rush has. The bad part, though, is it would be putting more cash in the pocket of the NFL which they absolutely don’t deserve.
I would like to see Rush personalize and isolate a target on the left, then take it down hard. If Beck did it, Rush can...but a much bigger target. That would be sweet.
And ESPN too. I'm done with them.
You should have been done with ESPN ever since the Stuart Scott era begun.
I think you're correct, but that's going to take a whole lot of doing.
Yep.
Late to the game, but better late than never.
I'm with you. F the NFL. I called
1-212-450-2000
and let them know I will no longer watch the games, buy tickets or support the sponsors. And then I cancelled my DIRECTV NFL package. Screw 'em.
I wouldn't get that close to that bunch of bottom feeders. ( ^: }
