Rumsfeld Kicks Fox News off Plane

Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | 10-03-2001 | Tony Snow

Tony SNow this morning said that Secretary Rumsfeld had kicked Fox News off his plane for his trip around the Middle East.

[JayNorth]

What are these guys thinking? Fox News is the ONLY place you can turn for a balanced view of the news. I guess I'll have to watch CNN or ABC to find out what happened...but I can't hear the TV because my BS detector keeps going off.

[Scuttlebutt]

I have no reason to disbelieve this report but, for the life of me, I cannot understand SECDEF going on a "diplomatic" junket at this time. He has plenty of under-secretaries he could send to get his word across if a face-to-face talk was required.

[Mudboy Slim]

I'm taping the show...is this today's official Limbaugh thread?! I'm in...MUD

[Tai_Chung]

He kicked Fox off?

Did any media organizations get to stay?

Subterfuge, mi amigo...MUD

[Diddle E. Squat]

Tony Snow? Where's Rush?

[Loopy]

Its not subterfuge Mud, its just that Saudi, Uzbeckistan and Oman (the very countries he's going to visit) apparently objected to US strikes that were going to happen yesterday or the day before. Its all over the threads. He's going there to get them back on board. If he can.

[Red Jones]

I wonder why Rumsfeld would do this? Our government has learned over the last 50 years to rely heavily on propaganda. We can see how subservient the majority of our press is to our federal government's propaganda requirements. Perhaps Fox is out of step?

[Mudboy Slim]

"Did any media organizations get to stay?"

LOL...who cares? Tony Snow is subbin' fer Rush and is puttin' on a classic show. Check it out and get back to us...GREAT SHOW, so far...

FReegards...MUD

[Catspaw]

Tony Snow? Where's Rush?

I dunno, but I'd bet "golf" is part of the equation.

[Mudboy Slim]

"Where's Rush?"

Secret mission...rumor has it he's in Gay Pah'ree...but that's jist a rumor.

Might be Casablanca...I'm not sure.

LOL...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"He's going there to get them back on board. If he can."

Yeah, that too...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"I'd bet "golf" is part of the equation."

Sure as heck wish "golf" was part of MY equation this afternoon...it's beautiful outside and I'm sittin' here FReepin'...LOL!!! Who's the DUMMY?!

The problem with Rita Cosby was that her presence caused the maximum take-off weight of the plane to be exceeded. Though she does have a nice face.....odd voice. Linda Vester is a babe, though she can look like a Rutabaga at times.

[Reagan Man]

.... Secretary Rumsfeld had kicked Fox News off his plane for his trip around the Middle East.

Did Snow give a reason why, or are you trying to solicit our opinions? If it's the latter, I say, so what!

This may be BIG news to you and others, but it's no big deal at all to me. Rumsfeld is in charge and if he chooses to kick any media outlet off his plane, thats his prerogative. Stop making a mountain out of a ant hill.

There are more important things to be concerned about right at this time. Wouldn't you agree?

[Mudboy Slim]

"Perhaps Fox is out of step?"

Fox's Tony Snow is hosting fer Limbaugh...check it out if you can...SPECIAL SHOW!!

"Linda Vester is a babe..."

Babe fer Babe, Fox has got the best-lookin' stable of reporterettes, IMHO...MUD

[Osinski]

Why? Maybe he does (they do)not want news coverage of his dealings.

[toupsie]

I wonder why they even call it the "Rush Limbaugh Show". So far in 2001, I think guest hosts have been on more than Rush. I expect in another year, Rush quits politics and becomes one of those annoying, whispering TV Pro Golf announcers...

[In mourning for six years]

What's up with Fox? Was it the only network kicked off? P.S. It would seem that the more money Rush makes the less time he spends on the air. I guess there is a really big golf game out there that he just couldn't miss. Rush should re-name his show and call it the Guest-Host Pot Luck Show.
