Ok. So anyone who listens to conservative talk radio is now a moron. Why not just call them that? And I guess you better tell that to the 20 or so million people that listen to Rush Limbaugh. If someone like Hannity brings up an article like the one from Rolling Stone, it is up to listener to determine how reliable that piece of information it is. Just as it is up to someone reading something online, or in the newspaper, to consider the source of the information. Do I listen to Sean Hannity, sure, but I know that he approaches things from his view point and is expressing opinions. Do I read the NY Times, nope. They masqerade as a respectable, unbiased, journalism outfit, and they don't even come close.
People like Hannity and Limbaugh are no more devisive than most liberal Democrats, who preach class warfare every chance they get. I mean, how many times can Tom Daschle say "wealthiest 1%"? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maureen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 10:28 PM Subject: Re: debunking the rolling stone bug-hunter article > At 11:09 PM 1/25/03, Kevin wrote: > >Well in that case Larry, your statement about Journalistic integrity is off > >base.
