Rush Limbaugh Slams Coverage of Boston Bombing


Rush Limbaugh joined early criticism of the explosions' news coverage Tuesday, according to a story at cbsnews.com:

"There was a race in the media to make sure that nobody jumped to the gun and racially profiled... Nobody thinks this has anything to do with al Qaeda, nothing to do with Saudi Arabia, nothing to do with Muslims," Limbaugh said Tuesday on his radio program. "While at the same time speculating that this has to be some right-wing group.

"...If you are a Muslim, and it turns out that a Muslim did bomb the Boston Marathon, how do you feel?" Limbaugh continued. "I dare say that if you are a Muslim, you can be pretty certain...that everybody in the media will circle the wagons, and say, 'This is not because of Islam.'" But should the attack be traced back to a conservative, he added, "everybody in the media will unite to denounce your whole group."
