Thread Name: Where do you get your news?
Subject: RE: Where do you get your news?
Oops. I just mentioned Rush Limbaugh in another thread. No reflection on you Doug R. I've seen your posts for over a year, so I know you must listen to him for entertainment and not news.

By the way, has anybody noticed that he NEVER, NEVER, NEVER admits to having said anything innacurate, or even ambiguous, when a caller informs him about it? Time and again (yah, I listen to him too) he insists that the listener completely misinterpreted his remarks. This happens SO often that it really DOES make me wonder what he must think of his audience's IQ. Occasionally he apologizes for getting a date or a number wrong, but it's NEVER on the same day, and always initiated by him. He claims he never has guests or political debates on his show because HE can carry the whole load quite nicely, and he makes for a tremendously articulate guest when interviewed by someone like Tim Russert, but truthfully he'd be torn to shreds by any well-informed debator. No point arguing THAT though, because he'll never allow it to happen.

Funny thing though, Gov. Jesse Ventura, who should be afraid of debate, isn't. He has made fools of some pretty experienced politicos, simply by telling the truth (about both sides) as he sees it.
