Fats Limbaugh was pushing the "liberal media bias" myth by claiming that the NY Times didn't mention Congressman Jefferson's party affiliation. Here's the truth:

Congressman Sought Bribes, Indictment Says

WASHINGTON, June 4 — Representative William J. Jefferson, the Louisiana Democrat at the center of an investigation that included an F.B.I. raid at his Congressional office and accusations that he hid $90,000 in bribe money in his home freezer, was indicted Monday by a federal grand jury on 16 corruption-related felony counts.

This article was on the front page, not hidden inside the paper.

Insannity was crying about the Libby sentence and went on to try to distract his listeners from the issue. For example, he said Joe Wilson was a liar and that Patrick Fitzgerald was a "rogue prosecutor." Insannity also claimed the partisan Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer started the investigation! He even dragged in Sandy Berger, all to make Libby look better.
