Limbaugh Hits Back at Media Matters: Launches Site Section Dedicated to Refuting Its 'Facts

After years of verbally combating Media Matters' ceaseless assaults, Rush Limbaugh has taken a more concrete step towards refuting the vocal leftist organization.

On his website, Limbaugh now has an entire section dedicated solely to setting the record straight on dubious Media Matters allegations.

Found at "mediamatters.rushlimbaugh.com," the page begins with an introduction of the group:

After the Sandra Fluke controversy, tax-exempt Media Matters was instrumental in calls for boycotts against Rush Limbaugh's program, particularly by advertisers.

The Associated Press wrote at the time:

Media Matters is spending at least $100,000 for two advertisements that will run in eight cities

[...]

In one of the anti-Limbaugh ads, listeners are urged to call the local station that carries Limbaugh to say "we don't talk to women like that" in our city.

Ad time was purchased in Boston; Chicago; Detroit; Seattle; Milwaukee; St. Louis; Macon, Ga.; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The cities were selected to support active local campaigns against Limbaugh or because of perceptions Limbaugh may be vulnerable in that market, said Angelo Carusone of Media Matters.

Limbaugh maintains he didn't lose nearly as many advertisers as reports may claim-- rather, his audience is bigger than ever-- but he has begun to embrace social media more wholeheartedly after the controversy.

On top of the Media Matters page, Limbaugh also started a Twitter account, where he has tweeted out defenses against the activist organization, but you can only do so much with 140 characters.

Limbaugh representative Brian Glicklich explained to the Daily Caller: “The purpose of this page is to act as a point of reference for people looking for the facts about Media Matters — which is, of course, very different than the way they describe themselves.”

“It will be updated frequently.”
