In Afghanistan, Limbaugh lectured students on "truth" in journalism
Edited on Tue Mar-01-05 09:59 PM by Petrushka
Once again calling into his radio program from Afghanistan, where he is working at the request of the federal government to highlight U.S. relief efforts, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh lectured students on journalistic standards.

8. And how to maintain a long-running, successful marriage...
He wouldn't know truth if it gave him an enema.

4. What exactly does...
... he know about journalism? He's never even been a journalist. He doesn't even admit knowing any honest ones. I think the only "journalist" that takes him seriously is Gannon/Guckert/Jiggy.

Y'know... when this is all over (and one day it will be), someone's gonna write about it and it will be the next generation's Catch-22.

6. "Truth" is so much more important than "facts" or "reality"
Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 12:06 AM by PurityOfEssence
Once you've decided what's correct in the world, that's truth, and bending or smashing actuality to conform to this model is much more noble than accurately or dispassionately relating what's really happening.

Of course there's a god. Global Warming's a myth. Women should be forced to carry to term, even if they were raped and birth will kill them. The rich are our most precious resource and should be subsidized at all costs. Middle Easterners don't know what's good for them, and we'll kill 'em all out of love of freedom if we have to.

It's the "because I said so, faith-based administration". Business is always good. Markets know better. People are hurt by being helped. People who disagree are lazy inferiors. I can do drugs because I'm better than you. Everyone's just jealous of us.

What a wicked little popinjay. Is there such a thing as blowhard pipsqueak? This beaming hater's the poster boy for selfishness and self-glorification, and I hope he lives long enough to see the pain he brings.

11. I think the boy actually lives life in hell. Being an overweight, drug
addict is probably not the most enjoyable life experience. He's spreading his pain to as many people that will accept it.
