On Aug. 2, liberal-leaning watchdog group Right Wing Watch published an article on a 2001 speech by then-Rep. Mike Pence, now Donald Trump’s running mate, proclaiming how Rush LImbaugh inspired his political career, under the headline “FLASHBACK: Mike Pence: ‘It Is A Literal Truth… I Am In Congress Today Because Of Rush Limbaugh’.”
On Aug. 11, CNSNews.com’s Rachel Hoover did a blog post on the same subject, with a suspiciously similar headline:
While Hoover apparently cribbed from Right Wing Watch for her headline and subject matter, her article is different, uncritically repeating Pence’s praise of Limbaugh while Right Wing Watch emphasized how Pence, like Trump’s campaign, is a creation of right-wing radio.
Good to know CNS is getting content ideas from liberals.
