Rush Limbaugh Mathematically Disproves the Existence of a Liberal Media

(Quote From Rush Limbaugh)

If Karl Rove were the leaker to Matthew Cooper of TIME Magazine, do you think they'd have kept that news private during the 2004 presidential campaign? This leak occurred in 2003. If Karl Rove engaged in criminal activity, do you not think that the media -- who claimed to know it all now -- would have not released that information during the campaign, given it to John Kerry or something and made it a huge campaign issue that the president's chief political advisor is a criminal?

Time to face up to the facts, Rush. THERE IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS. Thanks to the abolishment of the fairness doctrine, massive deregulation of the news industry, a profit-oriented focus, and a wide scale investment into rightwing think tanks and news outlets by the likes of Richard Mellon Scaife, Rupert Murdoch and Sun Yung Moon, we no longer have a liberal media.

We will learn the truth and the truth shall set us free - Karl Rove committed an act of treason in attempt to cover up information that directly contradicted the evidence used to build up the case for War in Iraq.

The truth is that if there was a liberal media in place, this story would've been dug up long ago. But, we've seen time and time again what happens to those who dare contradict the neoconservative movement:

  • Rather's career was slammed over a single story that do this day remains unrefuted - Is there a single colleague that can vouch for Bush's time spent at the Texas Air National Guard.
  • Just a few weeks ago, Newsweek was attacked directly by the Bush Administration, and blamed directly as the cause of violence in the Middle East. A few days later, late on a Friday so as to avoid public scrutiny, the Pentagon revealed that the Koran had indeed been abused Guantanamo. Was there a public retraction on the part of the Whitehouse?
  • Wilson and his wife, Plame, were both publicly attacked and smeared for daring to stand up to the Bush regime. By revealing Plame's identity, the Bush Administration put Plame and her co-workers in danger and wasted a government resource that was working on an anti-WMD mission.
Compare this to the treatment of right wing pundits who all to frequently stretch the truth, make false statements and accusations and outright lie. You can hardly watch fifteen minutes of Fox News coverage without witnessing a few blatant examples of propaganda, doublespeak, or outright lying.

So, back to Limbaugh's original claim - If Karl Rove engaged in criminal activity, do you not think that the media -- who claimed to know it all now -- would have not released that information during the campaign. Well, we know that the media did not reveal the Rove-Plame leak story. Soon, we will ascertain the fact that Rove indeed was indeed responsible for the Plame leak, and that several members of the so-called liberal media were holding on to this information. That can only lead us to one logical conclusion -- THERE IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA. QED.
