Media Matters: Limbaugh finally admitted to his confused listeners that "Soros ads" were fake

Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh responded to an item by "our poor old buddy, David Brock" and "his fledging little website" Media Matters for America documenting that Limbaugh aired a "commercial" parodying Democratic opposition to Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. without noting that the ad was fake. Yet Limbaugh refused to inform a confused caller that the ad was fake and later admitted that he had received emails and phone calls from listeners who "believe that these [the Roberts ad and another ad about White House senior adviser Karl Rove] are actual George Soros commercials." Limbaugh finally informed listeners that the ads were fake and opined that Media Matters "is upset" about them because they are "effective in identifying the absolute lunacy of the left in the current realm of American politics."
