Not to belabor this particular story too much, but I was amused by this tidbit from newyorker.com :
The premises of “Jeff’s” question to the President were false, gleaned from the alternative universe of right-wing talk radio. Or so Rush Limbaugh said on his program that afternoon. After reading “Jeff’s” question aloud, Limbaugh crowed:
We made this point yesterday. I mean, Hillary is out there talking about the economy is on the verge of collapse, and Harry Reid’s describing America with nobody’s got health insurance, forty-five million without health insurance, wages are going down. It’s horrible out there! Harry Reid never said soup lines. That’s my term for the simple way to characterize the Democrats’ view of America. . . . But the reporter attributed it to him, and I’m not angry about this at all, folks! I’m flattered and honored and proud!
Well, I imagine Limbaugh's fabrications are, overall, about as fairandbalanced as all the other "objective" sources the fans of "Gannon" get their news from, or GW "I don't read newspapers" Bush's personal carefully crafted daily news briefing for that matter That's life. |
