More than Fox, Rush Limbaugh & Mindwars - the stalwarts of the right
Hey, I have no love for any of those guys. If they have lied, start another thread and state their lies, and I will give them equal scrutiny, but note, Limbaugh does not profess to be an unbiased source, just like all politicians do not. So, if Limbaugh is a liar, so be it. He is not passing himself off to the public as an unbiased source, like MSLSD is.
You could make the argument that O'Donnell is the same as Limbaugh (not news people, but partisan commentators), and I would agree. Limbaugh would not be excused from defamation any more, had he made the same or similar claims as O'Donnell.
The only reason this is even an argument is because we had people on here DECLARING O'Donnell's comments are truthful with nothing more than O'Donnell's word, EVEN AFTER he retracted those comments (and some have even argued that he didn't retract).
Do you see the problem?
