"Rush Limbaugh claimed Media Matters' 'purpose' is to 'take things out of context'...

In the bit of the Limbaugh's radio show that was in the article, Limbaugh sounds like a politician who hasn't yet gained mastery over euphemistic political language. Or like a conspiracy theorist with delusions of grandeur: "[taking my words out of context] defies explanation other than they don't want me to be reported upon accurately because they are trying to harm my credibility. They cannot beat people like me in the arena of ideas."

But then again he would sound like that, because he has a political agenda, and he can at least back up his conservative claims with bits of evidence and knowledge of whatever issue's at hand...
What about celebrities, though? Like that actor that went down to meet with Hugo Chavez and share anti-war/anti-Bush chats?

And Oprah - I read this quote in Time magazine: "Oprah Winfrey has anointed Barack Obama as her 'choice' in '08. By the sound of more than 20 million clicking TV remotes, she can determine the votes of her fans. Should an entertainer have such a power?"

They probably shouldn't, but apparently they do. I guess I just realized that the thought and reality-controlling forces in society (political, commercial, and all that fun stuff) are all merging (or have already merged) into one big fat blob. That's kinda disturbing.
