re: #179 Killgore Trout

Is any of that true? I’d never heard that Limbaugh and Drudge were considered as oversseers of CBS’s review panel. That doesn’t pass the sniff test.

NY Times says it’s true. It’s funny how reflexively stubborn you are about doing your own research. Just because the first time you hear about a story and the citation goes to a source you don’t like then it’s must not be true.

Another memorandum turned over to Mr. Rather’s lawyers by CBS was a long typed list of conservative commentators apparently receiving some preliminary consideration as panel members, including Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter and Pat Buchanan. At the bottom of that list, someone had scribbled “Roger Ailes,” the founder of Fox News.

And hey, fuck man, the story’s only five years old. It’s not like you’ve had much of a chance at all at assimilating the information before now.
