RUSH LIMBAUGH, THE GREAT MANIPULATOR

Rush really does have his act together. He has it down pat. He can take a topic that you have strong views on, and after he puts his spin on it, you will accept his version. That's why he is a master at what he does.

I think it was a disgrace for him to state that he wanted to debate the President of America on his show. When I saw him at the recent CPAC meeting, he was jumping up and down just like he was ready to go into the WWF ring for a bout.

A journalist on the BBC stated that American politics reminded him of the WWF.I used to listen to Limbaugh every day at work until his Oxycontin saga. Then I lost interest.

BBC BLACKOUT ON GAZA

There is an informal blackout at BBC Radio over the public outrage following the Gaza incursion by Israeli troops. The radio phone's have been screening out any callers wanting to talk about the Israeli air strikes and ground offensives in the Middle East.

The radio shows are being heavily moderated and half of the comments are rejected. They have been told to stay away from the subject. The self imposed ban clearly steers away from on-air debates on the topic.
