This has been posted in this and other newsgroups for more times than
anyone
can remember, but apparently you haven't bothered to read it even once:
Talk
show hosts are entertainers. They are NOT sources of fact and were
never meant
to be.


A person who comments on the news (wether a lawyer, garbage collector
or talk show host) is not being an ENTERTAINER- he is being- guess
what? RIGHT! A NEWS COMMENTATOR !


But a person who chats about social and political issues is chatting... a
form of entertainment.


How about a talk show host who reads a news story from a news
service posting and inserts his own LIES in the story- and passes it
off as having been read verbatum? HuM?

A song and dance man performing on stage or on the radio is called an
-guess what! RIGHT ! AN ENTERTAINER !


Rush Limbaugh, in the 1988 R&R Talk Radio Seminar in Washington, stated he
was first and foremost an entertainer. Talk shows are listened to for their
entertainment value. News shows are listened to for their informational
value.

Paraphrasing a Spanish saying, "you can't get pears from an elm tree."


Who ever brought up the name "Limbaugh" in all this? Why would you
immediately mention Rush Limbaugh regarding this topic of falsifying
the news? Limbaugh is hardly an expert at labeling himself. Sorry-
when ANYONE professes to be reading facts (wether from a news service
or from a medical journal)- and inserts his own LIES and then tells us
"I'm reading this verbatum"- YOU may label that "entertainment" but I
think most of us label it something else.

p.s. Are you Rush Limbaugh posing as David Eduardo?
