KUHNER: Limbaugh vs. liberal bigots
Contraception skirmish part of secular left’s war on Christianity

By Jeffrey T. Kuhner-The Washington Times Thursday, March 8, 2012 Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh has been forced to deliver a humiliating apology for epithets he used against Sandra Fluke, a liberal activist and Georgetown law student. The apology comes as President Obama and the liberal media desperately try to paint Ms. Fluke as a victim of conservative male chauvinism - the latest casualty in a Republican “war on women.” According to the Democrats’ hysteria, women are being relegated to the Dark Ages. In fact, the opposite is true: Anti-Christian, anti-Catholic bigotry is rearing its ugly head, and it must be stopped.

Recently, Ms. Fluke testified at a House subcommittee in front of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. The activist claimed that she and other women face discrimination on a daily basis. The reason: Georgetown refuses to provide free contraceptive services as part of its student health care coverage. Ms. Fluke claimed that birth-control pills could cost female students as much as $3,000 by the time they graduate from law school, roughly $1,000 a year - a financially crushing burden. On behalf of “reproductive justice,” Ms. Fluke says that this assault on women should end. Mrs. Pelosi and the feminist lobby agree: Georgetown must comply with the new Obamacare contraceptive mandate and provide Ms. Fluke free birth control.

Ms. Fluke, however, is wrong. There is no crushing burden being imposed on women. Female students can go to nearby drug stores and discounters to purchase prescription birth control medication for $10 to $20 per month - a far cry from $1,000 a year. In fact, even without insurance, women can buy birth control pills for as little as $9 per month at a local Target.

Moreover, Ms. Fluke acknowledges she could have gone to numerous law schools. Yet she deliberately selected Georgetown because it is a historic Catholic university that continues to uphold the church’s teachings on contraception. From the outset her goal has been to overturn the university’s policy on birth control coverage. It’s a major reason she is at Georgetown. Ms. Fluke is not a victim; rather, she sought out this confrontation in order to dismantle Catholic institutions. She is part of the secular left’s war on Christianity.......................>>>>..................>>>>....................http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/8/limbaugh-vs-liberal-bigots/

Another Boxy "not telling the entire story" headline..

The real headline is
"Rush syndicator tells news/talk affiliates not to run its barter spots for 2 wks "

Read the article in the link if you want the real story.

Not at all. but your made up headline is not anywhere in the article. For the person that doesn't want to bother to read it the entire story, he takes your half-truth and reads it as all-truth... I know better since I've heard this song before.

My Headline:

The text:

What part of my post is untrue???
and
Made up a headline???
Really???
A headline summarizes the story to follow... and the headline that I posted does summarize the following
story.

Should I have just posted the entire article?  Are you incapable of clicking on the link?

It is a made up headliine..
The headline should read
Rush syndicator tells news/talk affiliates not to run its barter spots for 2 wks

THAT'S WHAT THE ARTICLE LISTS... your headline is made up.
I read the article..if you had, the would have discovered the suspension applies to barter ads, not all ads.
In addition, it says it "does not apply to in-program commercials provided by Premiere within any of its live news/talk programming"

There's your half truth on your made-up headline
BOX, You're getting just like the DrudgeReport site...making up your own headlines, which are not in the posted article links

Headlines are a summary of the post... they are SUPPOSED TO BE MADE UP to describe the following
text!

An example:
(Reid Report Editor Joy-Ann  Reid is a political columnist for the Miami Herald)
Her Headline reads:
Rush’s syndicator suspends all station ad requirements for two weeks
(The text)

From a St Pete Times blog "St. Peters Blog":

But YOU are not a political columnist...admit it, you got caught with your pants down posting a half truth.
But lets look at both of those headlines...They both list the word "requirements", which I would assume to refer to the barter ads. If that is the case, then both are accurate.
You on the other hand, posted
"Rush Limbaugh Syndicator Suspends National Ads For Two Weeks

Radio-Info.com reports that Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Rush Limbaugh show, told its affiliate

Which is NOT true... as premiere stated "does not apply to in-program commercials provided by Premiere within any of its live news/talk programming"...those in-program commercials ARE national ads.

Journalism is not my strong suit... but it is the profession of the two posts that I linked to...
SO
Your argument isn't with me... Since I posted the EXACT SAME HEADLINE a the two linked...
Your argument is with:
Joy-Ann (“Joy”) Reid is a political columnist for the Miami Herald and editor of The Reid Report, voted best
national blog in the 2010 Florida Netroots Awards.
Ms. Reid is the managing partner of IMAGELAB, LLC, a video production, graphic design and communications
firm. Through IMAGELAB Films, she is currently producing a television documentary, “The Fight Years,” which
chronicles the history of boxing in Miami.
Ms. Reid is a 1991 graduate of Harvard University, where she majored in visual arts with a concentration in
film, and a 2003 Knight Center for Specialized Journalism fellow. She has appeared as a political commentator
on national and local television and radio, including MSNBC, CNBC, Miami PBS affiliate WPBT Channel 2
(where she is a frequent panelist on the weekly public affairs program “Issues,” hosted by Miami journalist
Helen Ferre,) on WTVJ/NBC 6, Britain’s Sky News and Miami radio stations Hot 105 and 103.5 The Beat.

Joy has worked in television and radio news since 1998, including for WTVJ and Fox station WSVN. In
addition to the Herald, her columns have appeared on Salon.com, TheGrio.com, CommonDreams.org, in
the South Florida Sun Sentinel, and the South Florida Times. From 2006-2007 she produced and
co-hosted “Wake Up South Florida,” the morning show for Radio One’s then-Miami affiliate WTPS,
alongside 30-year radio veteran James T. From 2008-2009 she co-hosted the weekly talk radio program
“Elevating the Dialogue” on WNN-AM Fort Lauderdale. As a radio personality, Ms. Reid has interviewed
national media and political figures including Bill Cosby, O.J. Simpson, Russell Simmons, former CNN
anchor Lou Dobbs, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, and then-Senator and then-presidential candidate
Barack Obama.


Buck, I suggest that you email Joy immediately to show your vast journalism expertise and point out the
journalistic failures of the Professional Journalists that you claim are in error.

Wrong again Box...
Joy, and the other columnist posted this headline

Rush’s syndicator suspends all station ad requirements for two weeks

you posted

Rush Limbaugh Syndicator Suspends National Ads For Two Weeks

You see that little word requirements in Joys Headline?
Do you see that word in yours? Or maybe its in an invisible font?

The word requirements is key. That pertains to the barter ads the article was talking about.
But Premiere clearly states that in program ads are not included. You read the article and posted your headline anyway.

This whole thing is just a wet dream for the lefties.  In a few weeks, they will wake up and realize Rush is still on the air.  I do believe conservative radio lost listeners, but not enough for cancelation.  Instead of a $500 million contract Rush may have to settle for a $350 million contract.

" I do believe conservative radio lost listeners, but not enough for cancellation."

That's now how radio works... Listeners don't bring in one dime to support Rush's drug habit.  Ratings determine
how much you can charge advertisers for their time slot... BUT THE DOLLARS COME FROM THE CORPORATIONS  
WHO BUY THOSE ADS.
Look at how many corporations have dumped Druggy Rush... Not some little unknown advertisers, but big
name, big dollars advertisers...
