Rush Limbaugh: Media exaggerates Japan disaster
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/03/16/rush-limbaugh-media-exaggerates-japan-disaster/
WASHINGTON – Right-wing US radio host Rush Limbaugh said on his show Wednesday that the media is overplaying the nuclear crisis in Japan after last week's 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami.

"We have all these people on the media who we've never heard of, never heard from ever before, making calls to evacuate," Limbaugh said on his show on Premiere Radio Networks.

He singled out a European Union organization for criticism, saying it was exaggerating the situation in Japan, where Friday's quake and tsunami have left thousands dead or missing, and touched off a nuclear crisis.

"Let's go back to the BP oil spill. Do you remember at the end of it all they couldn't find very much oil, and yet it was the worst disaster ever?

6. The media exaggerates Rush Limbaugh period
he time and time again shows he isn't very knowledgeable on any subject, yet the "media" can't get enough of him.

2. You know, If brains were dynamite
this idiot couldn't blow his nose. He is a perfect example of why abortion should be kept legal.

3. Several thousand dead is bad enough (without the nuclear plant crisis); he never
fails to live down to our expectations of him.

4. Why doesn't he airlift himself over there to do some on the site reporting, perhaps from the
reactor core. :eyes:

13. I think we should encourage him and his listeners in this line of thinking.
I think they should all visit the site and demonstrate that evacuation is not necessary. That would certainly prove his point.

19. The Koch Bros should send their big shiny buses...
Around to pick up all the faithful and deliver them to the nearest airport to board their big shiny private planes and make a mad dash over there just to prove us Libruls wrong.

17. What an idiot....
It's easy for him to say. He's safe and sound in Florida. Maybe we should take him in a helicopter to Japan and dump him with the people literally fighting for their lives. Rush Limbaugh is trash.

18. "We have all these people on the media who we've never heard of..."
If you have never heard of them, shit for brains, then you haven't been paying attention to anyone other than your own echo chamber. Most of us have been watching international news broadcasters "on the media" for a very long time now. And you will get away with this load of fertilizer because your idiot fan base never steps outside the EC either.

I'm sure you will find some way to blame the cancers and such on Obama.

21. "I'm sure you will find some way to blame the cancers and such on Obama."
And once he does, this will go from being exaggerated, in his pea brain, to being an epic catastrophe.

22. Yep... absolutely...
He hops from one lie to the next without a breath in between, and for some reason his minions never see the first lie being laid to waste by the next, nor do they remember the past lie because the new lie is just so deliciously outrageous.
