Jeremy, I lessen to the program everyday. I have heard Rush's talks on all of the subjects. When he gives a report I look up the report. It is sad that you would help promote the lies that were in the Fairness & Accuracy Farce. I have not seen a group of people that have been so uninformed as the people who wrote that junk. It might help if they had ever really lessened to the program. Rush did a response where he went into detail about what he said and showed the sources. You can find it here on CIS if you care to look. No one is right 100% of the time but with Rush's track record of 98.9% you can trust in him. \|/ @-@ Robert Griffith — San Diego — —oOo-(o)-oOo—————————————————— Surfing the threads with AutoPilot and Amiga.

Hi Jeremy, >>FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting) has skewered many a Limbaugh >>proclamation Out of curiousity, I downloaded that report and Rush's replies. You might find it interesting. When I was in Vietnam I learned that there ain't no "FAIR". I have learned to take the media and all from and about it with a grain of salt! It is naive to think that there are groups out there looking out for our interests without taking care of theirs first. BTW, I rarely watch Rush and have disagreed with him many times.

Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy…. In the ISSUES forum, there is a text file response to the FAIR report… and some of it (the report) was a lie or misleading and others taken out of context. I agree with Rush about 70-80 % of the time… and he makes the times that I think he is right, entertaining. In the end, we all have to think for ourselves… and I think Rush helps people do that by getting more behind the scenes on many issues. Surprisingly, when listened to regularly, most people regardless of political association begin to like him and in time begin to 'see the light'. From what I know of FAIR, they have a terrible record on accuracy.. contrary to the name of the organization. -Jonathan MAC Quadra/486PC compatible courtesy Amiga, Emplant and BB.

-=>what he says is out-and-out wrong. FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting) has skewered many a Limbaugh proclamation and exposed him for the sloppy showman that he is <=- I'm not a 'diddo head' by any stretch/corruption/misinterpretation of the label. In fact I haven't listened to Rush for quite some time since I now work night shifts. However, I always found him entertaining. I often disagreed with more than a couple of his viewpoints and more often agreed with many of his views. It's hillarious to me that you site FAIR's so called list of Rush's innacurate statements. I actually read that list and FAIR should be completely ashamed at trying to pawn that off to anyone! The list was a complete joke, the only points of the list that were accurate were points made about Rush's -OPPINIONS- not one single fact was shown to wrong. The list imho only ruined FAIR's integrity…. that is giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming that there was ever a time they had integrity. In short, if that list was the best they could produce then Rush has much to be proud of. Cheers

I just plowed thru this string. The R-Man is always a topic that can provoke everyone! 🙂 I generally enjoy him, though I sometimes dis- agree with his opinion or his expression thereof. BUT, I can say fer shure that the way he is mischaracterized, misquoted and misrepresent- ed by most journalists and medianoids shows that they know less about what's going on than he does-by far! To answer the re-occuring question: I think this string got started after Rush was talking about his lack of excitment over Windoze '95. He mentioned how the Mac had multi-tasking, long file names, etc. & probably mentioned the Amiga in passing as another computer that had these things before PCs. He was getting irate letters from stuck PC owners! He is a Mac partisan supreme, and I would wonder how some would take his promoting of the Amiga! It would definately sell, but in this country, the new models would at least have to run MAC, if not windoze platforms to really catch on. 🙁 Rush can be ;heard daily throughout the world on WNOR shortwave. (BTW the "FAIR" report, so I hear, got much of it's publicity from that other becon of objectivity, Doonesbury, which, BTW, is actually funny this week as it rags on Windows '95 too) LS
