Miss Marple, this is my main complaint about Rush and other conservative radio personalities lately.
They act like what they read in the Washington Post or the NYTimes is gospel when it comes to Bush.
But for years they ridiculed what the NYTimes and Washington Post had to say about Clinton, they put no credence whatsoever in these newspapers.
So why all of a sudden are these newspapers trustworthy, and not guilty of spin?
The way I see it is because it serves their purposes now to use these papers as sources, and I think it is extremely hypocritical.
Because it gets them attention, which the media (and that includes Rush) crave. Just look at all the knee-jerk response you are reading here today. It gets attention, and it brings Rush's name back on FR.
I don't listen to Rush anymore, since I get no new information or humorous analysis anymore - just harping.
Rush would have done the same thing to Reagan, if he were around then. It's the nature of the beast..
It's because Rush has three hours to fill.
