This morning the Today Show finally discussed the remarks made by Rush Limbaugh in which he claimed that soldiers who were against the war were phony soldiers. Instead of just discussing the comments the Reporters alluded to the ideas that the Democrats were only attacking Limbaugh because they could not get anything done Congress and their rating was so low.
The segment started off with the reporter who conducted the story pointing that the Democrats wanted Clear Channel, the company that puts out Limbaugh show, to condemn him. She then read a statement from Clear Channel that stated, given Limbaugh's support for soldiers we find it hard to condemn him. The segment did actually show Limbaugh making the comments, but as the segment was ending the reporter, instead of talking more about Limbaugh, saying that the Democrats have not been able to get things done, they have a low rating, and it was unclear that they would be able to get the votes needed to pass the legislation condemning Limbaugh. Before and after the segment Matt Lauer asked if this was what Congress should be doing with their time. My question is why did they not ask this question when Republicans were pushing for the Senate to condemn Moveon.org.
