Why??? So we can marginalize Rush Limbaugh?
Seems to me Limbaugh and POLITICS are pretty inseparable. Comments?
How about a "Biased Media" category so we can marginalize everybody that 'reports' news?
None of us, I think, are really experts in the media, and so a forum devoted to it would undoubtably be mostly a forum about the polticization of the media.
Basically, therefore, I agree.
Sounds like a public challenge.How about a "Biased Media" category so we can marginalize everybody that 'reports' news?
Go for it. Let's see if you are as smart as you are smartass.

Ah come on Gunny... this category was made to hide yet another collasal failure by the left.
I know you like to play it down the middle, but this is absurd. The left was getting their collective asses handed to them and for reasons known only to you, you felt it important to get this thread off the mainsteam table.
It's cool... but don't pretend it's anything short of that.

Quite a stretch. How do you get from a "Media" subforum to marginalizing Rush Limbaugh?
Publius is spot on. You know, I can remember back when there was a ton of talk about CBS there was no special category ever created for "media".Ah come on Gunny... this category was made to hide yet another collasal failure by the left.

Dude, slowly set the bong down. Being careful to not knock over anything, stand up and step back from the table.
But I confess. Here's the big secret: When a topic has enough interest and is discussed often enough, I see if another subforum will work with it as a means of quick navigation for users rather than searching this forum and that for discussions on the media.
Inevitably, there are always those one or two people who have to come out and act as if this forum is a lesser forum than the one at the top of the page. Rather simplistic thinking if you ask me.
It's a simple fact each and every forum cannot be the one on top in a vertical list. This is a message board, not a game of "King of the Mountain."

Because the only two threads you put in this category had to do with Limbaugh.

I do agree with you however that Limbaugh attracts a lot of interest... from all quarters... even from Obama himself....and if you'll notice the interest in Rush is almost always connected with his commentary on current POLITICS .his main forte....but then of course there are always those nasty libs spewing their memorized hate-Rush-commentary that always follow like lemmings...
and I can see a use for the category of "Media" because it is a serious subject and warrants special attention...however...
Id like to know if someone brings up a topic that refers to both Obama and Limbaugh .under which category does it go? If you say MEDIA then I respectfully submit that you are marginalizing Limbaugh by keeping him out of the mainstream of the POLITICS category because the topic surrounding him is almost always of current POLITICAL interest....albeit from a conservative point of view...
Hell Ive been here long enough to sometimes wonder about you Gunny. How can you even separate the media from politics? The "media" out there is what produces all the news, the editorials, and the political commentary. The media is where POLITICS takes place .where you see and hear and read POLITICS. Gee... why don't we send ALL the media reports over into the MEDIA category?Publius is spot on.

Publius, and YOU, are way off the mark. How long have you been a member here, SE? Where have you EVER seen me side with the left on the media, or on Rush?
I am not marginalizing Rush Limbaugh. This is NOT the Rush Limbaugh subforum, nor is it a lesser forum than Politics. Rush Limbaugh is a media personality, not a politician. While not marginalizing him, I'm also not going to promote him as anything more than he is.

The thread I started about Rush and Obama under POLITICS had over 200 responses. I believe it was popular because it related to the cutting edge of POLITICAL discussion between liberals and conservatives…not because people wanted to talk about Rush per se (unless to denigrate him) as a media personality... which is what you seem to have extrapolated from it. Obama and Limbaugh were butting heads about POLITICAL ideas. It was a clash about POLITICS between the right and the left. It was a discussion on the cutting edge of POLITICS. It was a discussion central and very meaningful down to the very core of POLITICAL discussion of today. But oh well….now whenever the name “Limbaugh” comes up under politics….let’s whoosh it over to the backwaters of MEDIA discussion. Frankly, this kind of parsing is too close to the liberal tactics of isolating and obfuscating, of divide and conquer in order to eliminate the opposition from the main stage.
BTW….Obama is talked about a whole lot….why don’t we have a category just for PRESIDENTS”? Then anytime Obama’s name comes up in a thread we can whoosh it over into his own special category?
Well, Well. The real truth comes out. In your OPINION Limbaugh is a nobody in the political world. So that is reason enough to shut him out of the POLITICS category .Hell Ive been here long enough to sometimes wonder about you Gunny. How can you even separate the media from politics?

You think Rush is on the cutting edge of something more than media sensationalism? Dude, please.
I'm not separating anything. What part of that don't you get? Rush is not the media. Rush is not politics. Rush is not this subforum title. The media is. I'm getting a MUCH better picture of your complaint though.
You believe Rush is somehow as important to politics as the politics and politicians themselves. Wrong. It isn't that I am marginalizing him ... it's that I don't see him as anything more than what he is. He's a media personality who relies on devisiveness and sensationalism to get people on both sides of the aisle pissed off at each other and keep them there.
YOU might call that politics. I call it what's WRONG with politics.
Silly kitten .from where do you get current political information and discussion if you dont get it through the media?Wow ... I missed that ... someone thinks the media is where politics happen? LOL ... seriously, have so many Americans forgotten how to think for themselves?
