When did he defend Rush? He didn't do it on the air! He'll get away with this because he's liberal. He and the rest of espn can kiss my .........
Right after it happened.
Rush was NOT fired but resigned rather then hurt ESPN.
Jackson gave interviews ripping Rush and Berman gave several saying that Rush was being misinterpreted.
Even now, Berman (who is very quick to point out that he is liberal...he doesn't say democrat but actually uses the word liberal) says he still likes Rush, and knows that Limbaugh isn't racist, FWIW, Al michaels also has pretty conservative leanings.
