Letters to the Editor

To Jim Montague:
"Explain the missing 1min and 35 sec cut from the Limbaugh transcript. The truth hurts, but it is right there in black and white. You say you only search for the truth, then why do you seek it only in places that distorts and ignores it so many ways?"
The truth hurts? No, the truth will set you free. So here's the truth from the Byron York article posted yesterday at Real Clear Politics, which you obviously didn't take the time to read:
"The next day, September 28, Limbaugh used his program to explain the “phony soldiers” remark at some length. As part of that explanation, he played a tape of the original September 26 program. He cut some extraneous material out — “for space and relevance reasons, not to hide anything,” — and then found himself again under attack from Media Matters for “selectively edit[ing]” the clip. Media Matters did not claim that Limbaugh had cut anything substantive out — he did not — and in fact his cuts were similar to the cuts Media Matters itself made when it published an edited version of the transcript of Limbaugh’s original broadcast."
Note the importance of the last sentence. Because Joan Walsh and Media Matters will never bother mentioning that. But whatever they print, it's right there in black and white, so it MUST be true, right?
Unlike Joan Walsh, Byron York is a respected journalist and frequent guest on Tim Russert's "Meet the Press" -- a place you'll never see the likes of Joan Walsh. So, yes, I seek the truth -- in the right places. Not here.
