Say what? I basically said I can not stand the mass media celebrity pundits on either side. And that doesn't make sense?

Sorry to burst your bubble but I don't see things in terms of liberal vs conservative a la the spoon feeding mega media.

Is this someone I am supposed to have heard of? What has she done that I would?

(All wrestling to be confined to PMs, please. Must protect the delicacy of the public, after all.)

No, You have freedom of speech.

By the way, I thought you were hitting the hay.

Oh, for sure.

On the other hand, I think these "Rush attacks" are a bit excessive...not to mention the hypocrisy.

Anyway, I suppose Rush can handle it. If he can't...well...so it goes.

Ah, I'm 100% with you here, winston. There no longer is any pretense, even, at "journalistic ethics". I have to read at least three papers if I really want a complete view of any story. In fact, to be totally honest, I usually get the whole picture (as much as that is possible) from a reasonably well-argued thread on DP or some other message board.

I can remember Edward R. Murrow and Walter Chronkite, and I find this loss horribly annoying. I used to be able to know the news in less than an hour. Now it takes me longer than some of my college term papers did to research and write.

I don't give a damn how Rush is handling this....I assume he's deep in contract negotiations with some other media outlet as we speak.

The hypocrisy -- hell yes, it pisses me off. It's humiliating to me to have "fellow liberals" behaving like this.

It's already after 5 am here. I have appointments all day today I cannot move....sleep is probably not in the cards for me tonight. I'll probably be more alert if I just stay up.

Happens, now and again. No biggie, as long as it is just one night.

Liberals did not invent "hide the pea" and your side is playing it much harder than mine ATM, if you ask me. How many GOP-run states passed Anti-Sharia laws in 2010 and 2011? Anti-abortion laws? Etc.

What happened to the incessant chant of "jobs, jobs, jobs" that got all these knuckleheads elected in 2010?

You have hurt my widdle feelings.

I may sue!

I never meant to lump you in with everyone who is attacking Rush. I was just answering your questions in your OP. Please accept my apologies. (and please don't sue...I can't afford it. )

No, I see this tactic as coming from a higher level than you and your friends. It's the liberal media, liberal talkers (Maddow, etc.) and even liberal politicians (Pelosi, etc.) who are trying to deflect the nation's attention from issues that really matter.

As far as GOP using the same tactics, I just don't see it...at least on a national level. Take the Republican candidates, for example...except for their in-fighting, I've really only seen them dealing with the main issues: Jobs, reducing spending and so on. Heck, I don't even think they would be talking about abortion if the media didn't bring it up.

Sadly, this may be true. ATM, I have only Lipton's....the McDonald's of tea...in the house.
