| On May 13, liberal Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen asked why did the Times allow Blair to do such damage? "The answer appears to be precisely what the Times denies: favoritism based on race." | On NBC’s Today the same morning, New Yorker magazine media reporter Ken Auletta thought one story angle needed more reporting: "Did their desire, their good desire, to have a more diverse staff, did it somehow contribute to relaxing of the standards they usually apply to reporters?" | On CNN’s Reliable Sources May 4, host Howard Kurtz wondered: "This was a promising young black reporter. I wonder if a middle-aged hack would have gotten away with 50 mistakes and still be at that job." | ESPN - Rush Limbaugh commenting on Eagle's quarterback Donovan McNabb - "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well ... and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." |

Nice comparison table, Rodger. You ain't lost your touch. ;-)
I believe that there are a good number of blacks on the Eagle's defensive lineup....so tell me how Rush was dissing blacks by his comment.
