On Monday, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) stepped onto the floor of the Senate and strongly denounced talk radio host Rush Limbaugh for what have proven to be out of context statements made by the conservative personality on his program last Wednesday.
Yet, with the exception of a CNN segment aired Monday, and articles by Fox News, USA Today's On Politics blog, The Hill, NewsMax, and the New York Post, virtually no major media outlets covered Reid's statements.
Not the New York Times. Not the Washington Post. Ditto all three broadcast network evening news programs Monday, and the Associated Press.
This raises an important question:
Have most major press outlets correctly concluded that the leftwing organization Media Matters did indeed cherry-pick and misrepresent Limbaugh's statements thereby making earlier reports on the subject erroneous?

I’m wondering if this entire Rush-attack issue was designed by Hitlery to take the light off her Hsu campaign donations and her ties to the ChiComs.
LOL
But can you explain to me why Wayne Newton is still on Dancing With The Stars?

Harkin and Kerry never met an enemy of America, they didn’t love and honor.
MSNBC was wall-to-wall this morning.
E mail Dinghy Harry and let him know that his lying smear campaign against the Rush man is not going unnoticed.

I thought she took that little English girl that she kidnapped to Thailand. Or maybe that was Paris Nicole.
Thanks Dave. ...Good STUFF!
No, I think the little English girl is with Natalie in Aruba.
The mainstream media are just smarter than Harry Reid, they know that this issue hurts the Democrats more than it hurts Rush and the Republicans.
Primary purpose of the attack, imo: Hillary kept the Hsu deflated.
Thanks for the ping.
Reid may be a fool,but he’s THEIR fool and they will shelter him from adverse publicity any way that they can.
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winnah!
Rush is toxic to MSM. Throw matches at him and you will quite possibly get burned. And maybe they have learned something from the Rather Papers fiasco. When you know something is false and provably so, it doesn’t make sense to hype it if Rush is on the other side. After all Rather was brought down by “amateurs” in pajamas. Rush is a lot scarier on the face of it. He will come off of this first best and NYT et al probably suspect that is the case.
It does that, doesn’t it?
