And why is he unwilling to share those facts and opinions when those with different facts and opinions are present and prepared to discuss?

Who? The vast majority of the "discussion" has been "Rush is a racist", not addressing what he actually said in any way.

I have said over and over and over that there are no readily available "facts", and will be no straightforward facts, as relates to the sources of alleged media bias, unless some writer is going to come forward and say "yes, I hyped him because he's black" -- who's going to admit to that now, or ever? God's the only one who can prove what's in peoples heart of hearts, so asking Rush to provide that info is disingenuous of you. Rush drew a reasonable conclusion; others disagree; it's a clash of opinion.

I was thinking that if I were him, I would get some of the articles written by those he believes have overrated McNabb and I would ask them to reconcile the article based on the available data in comparison to other quarterbacks...

If there is such a bias, he could very easily find a pattern of preferential treatment... This is why I am saying that getting supporting info and then having a good discussion would be a good idea... It is the same thing that would happen to a politician if he has something offensive on the congressional record... The statements could be quoted and analyzed....

With the writer also present to defend his conclusions, Rush could then be perceived as being fair and thorough and his opinion would carry even greater weight...

Also, I would love to see a one on one interview with Donovan McNabb and Rush (security on standby) and let them discuss the issues surrounding McNabbb's performance on the field and the way he feels he has been treated by the media...

Engage... Don't hit and run...
My apologies for being disingenuous...
