Michael, I think everything I disagree with Rush Limbaugh about is pretty much summarized in that bit from the web about his debating tactics. Need I really say more? I particularly don't like the simplistic mudslinging against "liberals" and "tree huggers". Incidentally, I read some articles from that media watch web page, and the one I noticed is full of lies: mrc.org I watch about four or five hours of news every day, and I can tell you for sure that whether or not a local city councilwoman chose to attend the speech in Worcester was simply not relevant to the news coverage. I watched all the networks, PBS, CNN and MSNBC, and all the coverage was decidely negative towards Clinton. The media made a particularly large point of showing all the people holding up signs saying "Liar" and "Resign Now". They went on to interview more and more Democratic office holders who are disgusted with Clinton, and do not want his support, especially making the point that they do not welcome visits from him during their campaigns for reelection. So what you have in that biased media alert page is an unfair kind of argument. They take one fact--a local councilwoman was not mentioned--and fail to point out all of the more significant anti-Clinton comments in the news coverage. That is exactly the kind of tactic Rush uses. In fact, most of the "liberal" press is decidedly negative on Clinton. Night after night, they discuss on the talking head shows why it is that so much of the public still believes he is is doing a good job as president. MSNBS is particularly negative, and I cannot remember Larry King saying anything recently that could be construed as positive towards Clinton, either. If you watched a wider variety of news coverage, you would know these things. You really should not believe what that web page and Rush Limbaugh believe without checking your facts, because your sources are decidedly inaccurate.
