Were this the other way around, the MSM would be frothing to report this and demand a retraction.No doubt about THAT! Oh, the hypocrisy. Rush mentioned this today, too. He shares your sentiment regarding the media.
Rush has been a great warrior for conservatism. More than his style, I've always been most impressed by his mind. He truly does see angles to things that others simply miss.
I hope someday he does a treatise on conservatism or a history of media and politics in the 20th & 21 centuries.
