AP Screws Up Limbaugh Comments on Steinbrenner

The AP is nothing if not clueless. This is what they passed off as Rush Limbaugh's sincere views on George Steinbrenner:

Radio commentator Rush Limbaugh has weighed in with his own view of George Steinbrenner, saying "that cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires."

The New York Yankees owner died Tuesday at age 80. On his show, Limbaugh also said Steinbrenner also fired "a bunch of white guys as managers left and right."

What the AP missed was the context, in which Limbaugh was parodying Jesse Jackson's comments of Cleveland Cavaliers' owner and the Lebron James situation, as well as the Black Panthers' Malik Zulu Shabazz's comments about white people. Not surprising that the AP missed the context because they never reported on either story.
