Rush Limbaugh

Limbaugh: How About Fairness In News Coverage?

And on his show WEDNESDAY, RUSH LIMBAUGH challenged Congress to enact a Fairness Doctrine that would counteract "inaccurate reporting" by mainstream media. "Liberals in the Senate have it half right when they talk about the lack of balance and the lack of honest reporting," he said. "They're dead right when they talk about that. It's just they're wrong about where all these things are happening." Citing negative reporting of the economy as an example, LIMBAUGH alleged that politicians like Sen. DIANNE FEINSTEIN (D-CA) want to "manage" the news and that the news media is offering "liberal Drive-By Media propaganda." "Yeah, let's regulate the Drive-By Media," LIMBAUGH said. "Let's have a Truth Doctrine for them."
