If you haven't heard, Katie Couric's in the news. I don't mean she's in the news for reporting the news. No, she's actually making the news these days. It seems she's got a gig doing "independent journalism" but in truth, what she's doing looks less like reporting and more like some Goebbels propaganda.
It's no secret that she's an anti second amendment activist and a recent project she's been working on is meant to promote her cause. However, it turns out that she couldn't make her point without some drastic and deceptive editing of interviews she conducted with gun rights supporters.
But that's not what I'm writing about here. That was just some background. What's really bugging me is that I wouldn't even know about this story if Rush Limbaugh hadn't talked about it on his show. Rush has a policy of not giving MSNBC any free press. Rush has an audience in the millions and MSNBC has maybe a couple of hundred thousand. He avoids running any audio clips of their broadcasts and he avoids talking about them as much as he can and he insists that his ban is helping drive their numbers down.
Whether he's right or wrong, their numbers are definitely down, but I can't help but wonder why he doesn't do the same thing with the rest of these leftist hacks. He's always bemoaning the garbage that's discussed by the "drive-by's" but the fact is, most of us wouldn't even know about it if he didn't bring it up. The only people that get their "news" from those sources are generally the people who also think it's actually truth.
So Rush, if you're reading, just let the hogs go ahead and wallow in their own excrement. Stay away and we won't have to smell 'em.
