Limbaugh defended racially charged Grossman comment: "[T]he whole point was to tweak the media"

SUMMARY: Rush Limbaugh claimed that he made his comments that Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman was being criticized for his Super Bowl performance solely "because he's a white quarterback" in order "to tweak the media," and that he informed his audience "[l]ater in the program" about the "gag." In fact, it wasn't until the day after the statement that Limbaugh told listeners that he was trying to "tweak the media." Limbaugh also criticized "the sports media" for relying on "these liberal so-called watchdog media -- media watchdog websites."
