Rush Limbaugh: I Give You More News Than CNN

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/04/rush-limbaugh-cnn-straight-news-radio_n_4383366.html?utm_hp_ref=media


According to Limbaugh, CNN is simply another example of the "daily soap opera that everybody thinks is the news." "But there isn't any news being reported," he said.

“If these people at CNN really think all they’ve been doing is broadcasting straight news, it’s hopeless!”

Limbaugh went as far as to say that people who listen to his show will get a wider variety of information than if they were to watch any of the nightly news programs.

"I think on this program, we do more straight news reporting than you will find combined on the three nightly newscasts and CNN."

Thrush started referring to his failed attempt at a political tv show and he said (paraphrasing), "I was the original one who thought of doing a political talk show on tv and now Jon Stewart is winning Emmy's for it!"

I never laughed so hard in my life!
