CBS Seethes Over ‘Divisive,’ ‘Racist,’ ‘Bigot’ Limbaugh But Gushed Over Life Changing Porn King

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning’s co-hosts on Thursday joined the classless chorus of attacks trashing Rush Limbaugh in death. The journalists used words like “divisive, “racist” and “bigot” for the radio icon. Laughably, reporter Jim Axelrod blamed Limbaugh for the rise of “partisan media.” That’s right. The network of Dan Rather and his failed attempt to defeat George W. Bush with fake news is blaming someone else for “partisan media.” CBS This Morning is the same show that, just a few weeks ago, praised porn king Larry Flynt for being a nuanced progressive figure, rather than a sleazy exploiter of women. Not much nuance in the Limbaugh story. Axelrod lectured viewers: “Until the very end, Rush Limbaugh was divisive…. The polarizing host helped pave the way for modern partisan media. In the 1980s, Limbaugh made a name as a right-wing talk radio host.”
