Conservative pundits

A quote from Steve Gilliard's blog:

"One of the great tricks of conservative pundits was to talk about ANY topic. No matter what it was, they had an opinion, got face time and then book deals. They saw this as fertile ground to extend the debate. We have to engage these issues and bring new perspectives on them."

This reminded me that yesterday, in the car with a friend, I listened to Rush Limbaugh for a bit mock the New York Times and attack the "liberal media bias" for a story about ugly children being less loved. His conclusions was that respectable media outlets shouldn't be running garbage news items like that. Since he himself, as a respectable commentator wouldn't comment on it. All the while commenting on it.
Respectable news outlets should be running more newsworthy items such as Limbaugh's denied appeal in Florida.
