I remember the O'Reilly scandal. It came and went very quickly without much attention. I wouldn't have even heard about it except for the fact that I was partying with some people who worked for Fox News that weekend when the scandale broke. Of course, they were talking about it. I credit O'Reilly for burying it before it spun out of control. He had the wisdom to deal with it correctly, unlike most media figures. Kudos to him. The Rush Limbaugh drug story was a big story. Don't you realize that. It deserved serious attention from the media, as Rush is a huge entertainer and his diatribes against drug users make him a focal point when such a story emerges. What is unfair about the coverage of that particular story? As far as Air America goes. Again, did they actually break any laws? Perhaps what they did was unethical and against he spirit of the law, but did they actually break any laws. If not, it's really not much of a story. If they did, we'll see indictments.
