- Took you 10 seconds? It shows.
-
- Rivera a liberal? Give me a break. He's about as liberal as Charles
- Bronson. And explain, please, how Leno is a liberal. What, he makes
- Quayle jokes? So does everybody except you. They're entitled. It's
- time to realize that the media is not biased against _conservatives_,
- but against _power_.
-
- And anyway, none of the people you mentioned are liberal equivalents of
- Rush. Rather and Brokaw are newscasters, not talk radio deejays. Goldberg
- is principally an actress. And Donahue, Hall and Leno host talk shows,
- usually with figures in the world of entertainment, and are not politically
- oriented. Rush Limbaugh is an ideologue. He is an openly conservative
- commentator who admittedly relies on opinion, not fact. There is still
- no equivalent to him in the media, despite your conspiracy theory.
