Limbaugh Admits Media Bias: "If it weren't for MSNBC there wouldn't be any liberal sound bites"
if it weren't for MSNBC we wouldn't have any liberal sound bites. I've told Cookie I'm sick of it, ban MSNBC, and we can't, 'cause there's no other place to get liberal sound bites. There isn't any other place. I mean CNN is just insane over there. They emphasize their hosts, they have guests, but just roll tape on 'em and it's so boring. It's not worth putting anything from CNN on the air.

If it weren't for MSNBC there wouldn't be any liberal sound bites. Now, that has to mean something. That has to mean that they're rare, that they're not everywhere. They may be everywhere in print, but, you know, left-wingers on the radio, genuine cuckoo's nest. You wouldn't even want to go there. I wouldn't play that stuff. MSNBC's it, and it's two shows or three shows. It's it is morning thing with Scarborough, it's the Larry O'Donnell show at night, and maybe occasionally something from Reverend Sharpton. (interruption) Well, yeah, sometimes Sergeant Schultz. Sergeant Schultz is out there walking amongst abandoned railroad cars looking for the future of America. I know there's Algore's channel, but that's nothing worth highlighting. It really says something. MSNBC is the only place in the media to get these liberals.

7. Wow!
That is some declaration! For decades, these right-wingers have been calling the media "liberal". Rush screwed up and let out the truth. There are few liberals on television.

9. Wow, if he/they think MSNBC is "liberal" then 'right' is the new left.

Or maybe he's actually working with MSNBC to try and establish them as 'liberal' in the public's mind.

Either way he's delusional.

Edited on Wed Nov-09-11 03:44 PM by GreenTea
pretend & scream that the corporate media is all liberal - get fucking real - The corporations despise the progressives agenda of fairness, truth, facts which exposes the rich & their corporation greed, selfishness, duplicity, hypocrisy and disreguard for rules or law that get in the way of their profits the corporate media certainly isn't liberal and the corporate fascist republican, pigman Limbaugh knows this extremely well, but his show is all about corporate shilling lies & misinformation for three hours everyday....

The republicans & their corporate backers will spend as much money as they feel they need to corrupt elections and misinform the people and Fox news and the rest of corporate media will do the same including MSNBC, who will gladly play the republicans lying ads and suck in the corporation oppressive, ill-gotten bucks!.

14. Rush, as always, having it both ways.
Liberalism is a fringe, non-mainstream philosphy and a juggernaut strangling the nation.
