Remembering the Media's Bash-Rush Lowlights

July 3rd, 2008 5:02 PM

Since NBC's used Rush Limbaugh's huge new contract as an opportunity to remind everyone of the moments they trashed him with the most vigor, we can make a counter-offer. Here's Brent Baker's CyberAlert on how NBC spent a day on the campaign trail with Michael J. Fox after the Limbaugh controversy, and served as the publicity wind beneath his wings right before the 2006 elections. And there's the original Brent Bozell columns to recall the tenor of those 2003 controversies:

ESPN = P.C., on the media's favoritism toward quarterback Donovan McNabb; and

Pulling for Rush, about the liberal nastiness that greeted his admission of prescription-drug addiction.
