During their brief coverage of Rush’s passing, NBC news just committed journalistic malpractice. Of course, they do this in some fashion almost daily. They claimed that Rush was well known for making “racist and sexist comments”. Then, as an example, they played a tape (while printing the words on screen) of Rush saying: “We need segregated buses.... this is Obama’s America!” Racist ? Really ? Rush was talking about Obama’s statement that “Republicans need to get to the back of the bus.” Rush’s statement had NOTHING to do with race. Obama wanted to segregate us based on our political beliefs....
