Rush Limbaugh fakes it, gets caught

[jas2525]

What is the attraction with the Young Turks?

It's like watching a college TV production...on a bad day.

Nothing's worse than thinking I found the clip I wanted on youtube, only to discover that it's one of their incredibly inane breakdowns of an incident.

What am I missing about this crew?

You're not missing anything. They're horrible. They get hits on their videos by manipulating search results with sensationalistic titles. Every bit of buzz they have is fake and manufactured.

Yea, I can see the confusion between Indianapolis and India.

You didn't read my follow-up post.

The On Call service provides "wacky" callers for morning zoos, by the way. Sort of like Stern used to use all the time. (Maybe still does.)

Just saw your followup (Daily Kos) with the photo showing

so it only took 79 likes to put Indianapolis on top. Also, why is the Kos site's photo different from than facebook's WRT page format?

Sorry, who's faking what?

BTW: New Delhi, India has a page while New Delhi, Dehli, India doesn't.

 

[ProducerGuy]

You couldn't possibly be insinuating that these fine, upstanding, honest folks would lie and fake stuff on the Internet. ;D

Perhaps it's time to change the thread title to "Daily KOS and Young Turks fake Rush attack, get caught".

You're creating a false argument, buttressed by a vague and unsupported allegation.

That's not to say there isn't an issue with the original assumptions about "LIKE"s.

Check it now, you'll see this:

Or maybe something different.

The Facebook page appears to explain what is happening, IF you move your mouse over the question mark.

Your claim that,

why is the Kos site's photo different from than facebook's WRT page format?

appears to me to be mere obfuscation, apparently for the purpose of reversing the responsibility here.

Why New Delhi? Why Mumbai, Maharashtra, India? That remains unexplained.

But here's a curious circumstance: if we in the United States talk about "Rush Babes For America" ON FACEBOOK, then the city signified in "LIKE"s is likely to revert to the USA. It is simply a measure of who has been talking about "Rush Babes For America" ON FACEBOOK in the past few days.

That means Young Turks, and others, haven't nailed down the precise connection between "Rush Babes For America" and Rush Limbaugh (yet). Theories?

Channeling so much energy to this.

Doesn't a lawn need cutting someplace?

Sort of like this entire thread.

Meanwhile The Young Turks have made an entire career out of manipulating search results. Still haven't heard a response to that.

Adding KOS to the mix only makes your argument even weaker. Their history of lies and deception is even worse.

I was gonna say something, but forget it. lol

 

[umfan]

Yeah this thread is pretty pointless. Limbaugh just raises that ire in some people that they just can't wait to jump on something negative about him.

Be it true or not.

The whole Current TV lineup is pretty sorry.

 

[Silkie]

And use George Soros' Daily Kos to lend credibility.

 

[Morpheux]

The reason Limbaugh along with other conservative loud mouth talk show hosts spark outrage in most level headed folks is that they're phonies. Conservatives have some valid points to make but when they allow this blimp to be the mouthpiece of their rhetoric....you have no rhyme or reason to whine when Obama gets another four years.

THIS.

I have worked with guys who espoused all the usual talking points, etc, etc, but if the audience knew the way some of these guys carried on in their personal lives, they'd be shocked. Many of these hosts are hypocritical paper tigers. The audience is often either to naive, ignorant or blind to allow in any light should any of this info actually ever get to them.

Ironically, I was always more measured in my opinions, never adhering to some partisan credo, yet I was always considered the "liberal" because I didn't march in lock step with the Rush immitators. I actually thought for myself. Ironically, I typically led a much more "conservative" lifestyle and behaved in a much more conservative manner than the "real" conservatives on the air.

Truth is irrelevant. Only feeding people's ego's is what's important. People want to believe their little world view is the correct one in ALL circumstances, and no matter how flawed and hypocritical the enabler is, they'll buy what he has to say; hook, line & sinker---as long as the conclusion is that YOUR side is RIGHT!

That approach does, and always will, cater to the lowest common denominator.

So that excuses making stories up to make him look bad?

 

[listener-in]

A more accurate headline would be "Idiot Rush staffer hires service to inflate Facebook likes", but accuracy isn't really what we're going for here, is it?

Ah yes, blame the underling to protect the guy at the top. That seems to be the American way these days.

I agree. Cenk Uygur is fully responsible for the career he's built on manipulating search results.

 

[FreddyE1977]

I'm wondering how it must feel to be an Indian employee whose job it is to go
around all day liking things on Facebook. ???

 

[MC]

An out of control staffer? Is the Rush organization that big? I think they only have a handful of people? Given the fate of Facebook stock prices, maybe the story is more about the twitter, Facebook world than Rush. Are there that many 60 year olds one Facebook and Twitter?
