Newsbusters defines "nitty-gritty"

In defending cable news and talk radio from PBS host Jim Lehrer's statement that they offer relatively shallow approaches to health care coverage, Newsbusters' Tim Graham asks:

Does Lehrer think Rush Limbaugh doesn't get into the nitty-gritty of a health-care bill?

Here's some recent "nitty-gritty" from Limbaugh on health care:

Limbaugh falsely claims health care bills provide for five years of jail time if you don't buy insurance

Rush: If health care bill passes, Dems get "72 virgins" in "Capitol wading pool" and "lifetime supply of Viagra or Cialis"

Quick Fact: Limbaugh falsely claims undocumented immigrants "are covered" under House health care bill

Quick Fact: Dr. Limbaugh promotes false notion that abortion is linked to breast cancer

Limbaugh: "Human beings will die earlier than normal" under "freedom killing" and "life threatening" health-care reform

Rush Limbaugh's coverage of health care reform, like most issues Rush Limbaugh covers, is error-riddled, misleading and offensive. In the eyes of conservative media critics like MRC's Newsbusters, this is getting into the "nitty-gritty". Heaven help us.
