5 Feet of Fury

My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up!

Over at WND, you can enjoy a week’s worth of audio highlights from the world of conservative talk radio: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and many others.

Includes the dish on the new Rush Limbaugh biography, Glenn Beck’s surprising opinion on the Ground Zero mosque and lots more!

MORE late breaking stuff here.

PLUS: Chris Matthews praises Rush’s Clinton impression, and says his underlying point was right, too. Sign of the end times? (Video)

I find it a bit disturbing that Matthews is either pretending never to have heard Rush mimic Clinton before (he’s been doing it since the 90s) or actually hasn’t.

Either way: if you don’t listen to the show, you can’t credibly criticize the host.

(Too bad Rush didn’t have foreknowledge of Andrea Mitchell’s presence — he likes to mock her, too…)

UPDATEWhat liberal media?!

Zev Chafets, the author of [Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One], sends me an update every day on his media appearances and he hasn’t had one yet. (laughs) He was scheduled to go on F. Chuck Todd’s MSNBC show yesterday.  He was canceled en route.  (…)

When the publisher, Sentinel, announced the book would be published on May 25th (this past Tuesday) their office was swamped with 200 media requests in the first half hour.  They had not seen anything like this. 

Then excerpts of the book leaked out, and then the book was published, and people saw that it was not a book that was critical; that it was a book, essentially, fair.  It’s not a puff piece by any stretch of the imagination, essentially fair.  So all the media who had wanted Zev to appear have canceled or have not scheduled in the first place.  He’s essentially a journalist of one, and he’s been blackballed.
