Media Research Center President Brent Bozell has demanded that CNN and MSNBC prove that radio talk show king Rush Limbaugh uttered a racist quote they have attributed to him as fact after Limbaugh publicly denied having ever said, “Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark” on his nationally syndicated airwaves.

Glad someone is finally insisting they back up what they say. The whole administration thinks if they say it, it will be believed as truth. The masses just don’t want to think they could be lied to...

The media is working overtime to trash Rush. Lies do not matter as they will do whatever it takes to take down a Conservative.

Also it looks like the NFL does not want a Conservative owner. Hard to believe what the world is coming to.

You wait, CNN and MSNBC (legacy fringe media now) will claim they were misled by some dumb quote on Wikipedia or some such. Mark my words, they will spin it as they are the victims of some "planted" story. That's right, they are the victims - not sensationalist socialists criminally negligent in their lack of fact-checking and source verifying... They are either utterly unqualified and bad at their jobs as journalists, or they are wantonly negligent. Either way, CNN & MSNBC come out of this looking like the complete fools they are.

Factcheck is founded by former CNN reporter Brooks Jackson.

He needs to start with Bryan Burwell of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He should have been fired already over his libel, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch should have already offered a public apology and Page One repudiation.

Proof that it didn’t happen is that if it had, it would have made the news the next day.

CNN had Bill Adair of Politifact check the accuracy of the Saturday night Live skit which accurately joked that Obama had accomplished nothing since he has been President:

I know. CNN fact checking a comedy show is retarded.
