If Rush has been considered irrevelant, why is CNN assigning a reporter to watch his website?

RUSH : Speaking of Michelle Obama, I think CNN has assigned a reporter to the Rush Limbaugh beat. This info babe they have over there, Carol Costello, does these reports on me and what happens on this program, and she filed another one on The Situation Room. This in regards to the way we treated Michelle Obama's comments at RushLimbaugh.com. This is a montage of her report about me and Michelle Obama.
COSTELLO: The patriotism card was played against Democrats brilliantly after 9/11, and as Democrats called for our troops to leave Iraq, and it seems, Wolf, it's about to be played out again.
MICHELLE OBAMA: For the first time I'm really proud of my country.
COSTELLO: It didn't take long for conservative talkers to pick up on that. Rush Limbaugh's website shouted: Michelle Obama Slams America. And after taking it on the chin for a few days, Michelle Obama clarified her comments just a few hours ago in Rhode Island. Listen to what she had to say, Wolf.
MICHELLE OBAMA: You don't run for president of the United States and put yourself and your family through this if you don't feel some level of deep pride and possibility for your country.
COSTELLO: That's right, she said she is proud of America, Wolf. It just didn't come out quite the way she wanted it to.
RUSH: Yeah, just didn't come out the right way. Of course, they can't prove anything at the New York Times about these allegations of McCain, but they still run with it anyway. (interruption) I have no clue. Snerdley wants to know what the hell was the setup about 9/11. You're asking irrelevant questions. We're talking about CNN. If you want to waste time trying to explain why they do what they do, go ahead. I'm entertained enough by airing this stuff. Carol Costello, the Rush Limbaugh beat reporter at CNN.
