Early in his career a journo asked to interview him. So they did a walk-and-talk in a busy area of the city. Every so often the journo asked Rush if he wanted to stop for a coffee, or a snack, and Rush would oblige. When the story was published, the journo wrote about how Rush was such a fat pig that he made them stop for coffee and snacks frequently during the interview.
Thanks in part to Rush's exposing journos for their political narratives, loaded questions, polls taken from select demographics to create news, headlines that contradicted story content, and talking points repeated almost verbatim across cable news outlets, I learned this lesson second hand.
Rush Limbaugh learned this first hand too.
