The Word

After Media Matters recorded Rush Limbaugh calling service members who support withdrawal from Iraq “phony soldiers,” the right-wing has mounted an all-out assault on the media watchdog.

On The Colbert Report last night, Stephen Colbert addressed the right’s complaints about Media Matters:

“Hey, Media Matters, you want to end offensive speech? Then stop recording it for people who would be offended. Because the Constitution gives us broadcasters the right to say anything we want but that doesn’t mean that just anyone has the right to listen.”
