Days after announcing he had advanced lung cancer, CNN’s Sara Sidner put a 3-minute piece together entitled “Rush Limbaugh’s Controversial History.” In the story Sidner says Limbaugh “sometimes shared xenophobic, misogynistic and racist sentiments with the masses.” Watch HERE.
Meanwhile Fox Business is reporting that Rush makes roughly $87 million per year, making him the 18th highest paid celebrity on The Forbes list and he has a net worth of $590 to $600 million.
Since Fair and Balanced broke up and left the building to pursue solo careers, CNN can only be blamed for providing a push back. A celebrated misogynist, racist and rampant exploiter of the gullible and credulous does not deserve a free ride, particularly since he is likely to die sooner or later – as we all must.
Question to Radio Ink: Did you actually watch this piece from CNN?
We did. And the piece uses actual videos…actual videos of Rush Limbaugh and what he is saying! Many of those statements are indisputably racist or sexist, and inflammatory at the least.
So how can you possibly label this CNN piece as a “hit piece.” ??? How? The piece is based on real things that Limbaugh said. That is not a “hit piece.” Rather, it is a reality piece.
Thank you.
Freedom of speech is one of the things that makes this country great. I find it ludicrous when news outlets or individuals present opinions as reality.
Yes I watched it. That’s what it was. Why did they not mention all the money he raised for charity?
Is there anything in the piece that’s false or incorrect? Or do you just disagree with the presentation?
