Comments on: Fox vs. Rush: Why The Little Guy Won

[one_american]

The "little guy" only won on the MSM's scorecard.

Everone knows that the MSM will promote anything that anyone from Hollywood says that supports the liberal ideology, so who cares what some Hollywood activist says?

Get real, CBS.

Just goes to show you how drugs effect two different people in two different ways! Rush, get help.

I don't agree with the way Rush Limbaugh handled the situation with Michael J. Fox. But I am still against the stem research.

I am a fellow Canadian of Michael J Fox. It's pretty bad that Rush can display outrage in his own country but to outrage all of Canada aswell. I assure if a Canadian talk show host behaved in that manner about an American there would have been such an outrage on your side of the border. I don't believe in his apology to Michael. My first reaction was "can you believe in Americans."
But i would like to say Katies's interview with Michael was compassionate and extremely understanding.
If Rush is trying to help the American cause as compassionate, caring people he could use some charm school.

This is all moot. No matter what the amendment or the candidates say, and no matter what Rush and those of the religious right say, the research will continue. If not here, then in another country. And if my mother or brother or sister or wife comes down with such a disease, I will leave this country to seek treatment for them, in a heartbeat. In the end, Kandra's analysis and commentary is banal and itself a sham. Michael J. Fox is not a 98-pound weekling. And who cares about splitting hairs between courage, dignity and grace. That's all BS. He is fighting to save himself and those who have his disease. There is no hidden agenda here. Anyone who thinks so needs clinical help.

So, for all of you who think this is a religious war against sin, there is nothing you can do about it. Say your prayers and hope you never come down with such an illness...or you just might be on the other side of the issue with your foot in your mouth.

The hipocrasy of such people makes me feel sick to my stomach. Truly.

Very well said. Both sides have their merits but the way they address their arguments is also very important. It's regrettable what Rush did. I still have difficulty believing that he really meant what he said. At the core, I think everyone, even Rush, shares a common humanity but sometimes people may put up too many walls, shows and disguises that obscure it.

Leave it to other news organizations to find out that Fox hasn't even read the amendment he purports to support.

America needs more fat, arm-flailers and less celebs du jour. Wonder if that's why CBSnews is tanking in the ratings, yet again.

I could not agree more! Mr. Michael Fox was class and grace .. I don't understand the issue??
Why through way good research material that could save lives .. These cells wtll be destroyed!! Let's save lives !! Mr. Limbaugh has never impressed me as a person seeking the truth .. I have lived all over the world and heard Mr. Limbaugh describe event that I personally witnessed and know his version to be twisted with a plitical slant.. He is Mr. Rove's
ERRAND BOY..

I found Greg Kandra's post insightful and Mark from San Diego's response to the post disturbing, mostly because I can sense he is a very angry man. I was wondering how Rush even has an audience anymore. Mark gives me a glimpse of the audience Rush appeals to... they are very angry, angry that the "liberal" media doesn't serve them their right-wing agenda with pretty little red, white and blue graphics on the nightly news. Guess, what, Mark, truth and accuracy are relative, and it's all about images. Turn off your television, your computer, and your radio, and take your dogs for a walk. Just breathe. Stop living in an illusion that journalists can fill your emptiness with truth and accuracy. It's about you in this life, only you, Mark. Not Rush. Not Katie Couric. Just you and your dogs. Go be with them, they need you. They obviously mean more to you than people with neurological disorders seeking a cure through stem cell research. Follow your heart, Mark. Not your head, because it's making you look like an *** on the internet.

So now right and wrong is about images rather than truth and accuracy? Makes sense, since this is how the drive-by media operates.. Yes, Rush may have come across as a bully, but he did force an exploration of the real issues and the true content of the state amendment which legalizes closing into the public square, depite your network's ridiculous focus on "fat bully versus sick skinny guy"...what total goop! You call this news?? You call yourself a NEWS network..so when will you start actually reporting on what matters, rather than the most provactive "images" or storyline. I was not pleased with Rush's clumsy handling of all this, but I am eaven less pleased with your networks avoidance of the true issues..WHAT DOES THE AMENDMENT REALLY SAY AND IS FOX's TESTIMONY ON SUCH AND THE CANDIDATES ACCURATE.

My two labradors could do a better job of getting at the real issues.
