He is trusted because he is honest and open about his bias, he doesn't make any attempt to hide it. People don't trust the lamestream media anymore because they got caught trying to portrary their opinions and bias as news.

Oh good, being open about your bias makes you credible

Newsflash: He is part of the mainstream media, and he portrays his opinions and bias as news!

I guess that is okay to you, since his bias is essentially feeding you opinions

He actually isn't part of the establishment media, he is one of the first of the alternative media where you just didn't get the left's talking points on a daily basis.

Yeah.. okay there. You shouldn't listen to pundits, left or right. Do yourself a big favor

Uh, hate to tell you

but he is most certainly mainstream. He makes an annual salary of 33 million. That's absolutely mainstream. You do not make that kind of money without mainstream support.

/style commentary: I used the quote there because it's one of Inuyasha's favorite phrases to start off contradicting someone and given the topic and all, I thought it worked.

Where should I get my news from then? Are you seriously telling me I should rely on sources that are busy trying to get into Obama's pants and have his babies?

Sorry, but if the research into the facts lines up with what a pundit is saying, one is ignoring them at their own peril.

for further review:

"According to a book entitled "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg, Rush Limbaugh signed a contract in 2001 for $297 million dollars to broadcast through summer 2009, which would make the answer, $33 million per year.

This, of course, does not include any additional money he is paid for speaking engagments, book residuals, or earnings in the stock market.

(In addition to previous answer: Limbaugh and Clear Channel signed an eight-year, $300,000,000 contract extension in August 2008, worth about $37.5 million per year.)

Parade Magazine states that Rush Limbrough made 34 million dollars for 2008."

By the by, Clear Channel is about as mainstream and establishment as you can get.

TYT is pretty critical of him. So is Daily Kos.

Seriously? Its either for or against Obama for you? I am suggesting nothing of the kind. And doing research into Fox stories by looking at previous Fox stories is not research

Nor is it research to grab articles within the feedback loop.

Quote:

Limbaugh led me into his private humidor, selected two La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel stogies for us to smoke...

Aha! So apparantly the man can't be faulted on his taste in cigars, the LFD DL Chisel is a truly great smoke and retails for about $7.50, which tells me he's not just smoking overrated expensive sticks for their supposed prestige. I smoke those things whenever I get the chance down at my state's lone cigar bar, which is two hours away due to our asinine smoking ban (it's on a Reservation).

Hate to break it to you, but Fox News was the only outlet to actually do any research on Obama's background, his associations, etc. The other outlets were busy trying to not report them and/or actively hide the evidence.

If you're talking about that whole Birther thing, that whole shenanigan actually made the Birthers look stupid and ended up giving Obama good publicity. However you seem to forget that I dislike the other outlets perhaps equally to Fox so using that as some kind of ammunition against me is pointless, I agree with you they're corrupt

No, I'm talking about Obama's radical friends:

Ayers, Dorn, and Wright are just the tip of the iceberg.
