The Media Research Center likes to disappear Rush Limaugh's role in making Sandra Fluke into a prominent activist -- and, as a consequence, the MRC's role in endorsing Limbaugh's misogyny and trying to protect him from the consequences of it.
The latest example is a Feb. 1 NewsBusters post by Jeffrey Meyer, who complains that Fluke is "a Georgetown Law student who 'testified' before a Democratic policy committee -- not a congressional panel contrary to popular belief -- became a recurring guest on MSNBC, and even spoke at the Democratic National Convention last year." Meyer doesn't mention thatit's because of Limbaugh's three-day tirade of misogyny against Fluke that she was catapulted to prominence beyond her congressional testimony.
