Rush leveled the media playing field...WITH MUD
Advertisements [?]
For decades, I think it's fair to say there was a liberal bias in most of the media...but can you imagine a Murrow, Cronkite, or Brinkley using the kind of derisive language that peppers the work of Limbaugh ("dirty, smelly, dope-smoking hippies"), Hannity ("Schmucky Schumer, Ted *hiccup* Kennedy, Robert KKK Byrd"), or Savage ("Liberalism is a Mental Disorder")?

The reaction of the most influential right wing pundits to liberal bias has been to drag journalism and commentary through the mud in an effort to completely discredit and demean liberalism.

The nation suffers, journalism suffers, discourse and civility suffer...and these fucking assholes laugh all the way to the bank.

I wish we at DU could start a call-in campaign where we address issues seriously with these jerks, then insert a simple phrase before we're inevitably cut off:

"Have you no sense of decency, sir?"
