Rush said today that he would not comment on Beck. So he didn't.

How that is spun into knocking Beck I have no idea.

I didn't listen to the entire program but I did catch this part so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one scratching my head over the mental gymnastics required to arrive at the headline and article. As an earlier poster put it, there appears to be an effort to cause conservatives to form a circular firing squad in order to clear the field for the Democratics Socialist People's Party. I fully concur with this view...

I remember reading about the "Yellow Journalism" of the turn of the last century: Hearst prodding us into Cuba; The NY Times "Beat back the Hun" writing of WWI; and thinking how much better we are today. I was in grade school then.

I know realize that yellow journalism has never disappeared it just changed its ideology.
