You know the liberal bubble is 100% airtight when people actually believe Rush Limbaugh said that a hurricane is a liberal hoax.

CNN at least had a factually correct headline, though incredibly bitchy and defensive:
Rush Limbaugh evacuated his Florida home after floating unfounded theories about media coverage of Hurricane #Irma https://t.co/4QHWsQBxmu pic.twitter.com/OLhOjoaOpy

What do I think? Well, let’s just say this Daily Show segment from 2005 still applies:
UPDATE 2: I wondered if Snopes would tackle this issue, and they finally did, although they buried it near the end of a general post about the hurricane instead of giving it its own story like they should have. It unfortunately supports my general thesis of the last year that Snopes tends to work harder on debunking conservative fake news than liberal fake news.
