How’s this for a whopper: Joy Reid, MSNBC’s biggest conspiracy theorist (and there’s competition), smeared Rush Limbaugh by claiming that his “black sidekick,” Bo Snerdley, was little more than “a cover to be able to do, like, that kind of outright racist stuff.”
At least Reid believes that Snerdley exists (though that’s a pseudonym). The New York Times noted that Limbaugh had no on-the-air sidekicks, “though he had conversations with the unheard voice of someone he called ‘Bo Snerdley.'”
Listeners have heard Snerdley, though; one of Limbaugh’s best bits to deflect charges of racism during the Obama administration was to have Snerdley act as the show’s “Official Criticizer of Barack Obama.”

Ian Miles Cheong writes at The Post-Millennial:
Far from being a fiction of Limbaugh’s apparently broad imagination, a quick Google search for “Bo Snerdly” brings up Bo Snerdley, the pseudonym of James Golden, Limbaugh’s screener, producer, and engineer. Wikipedia states that Golden, aka Bo Snerdley, “has been a Producer/Executive for Premiere Networks, the largest radio syndication company in the United States” since 2001.
Golden is, it should be noted, a black man – making this yet another instance of the “anti-racist” liberal media erasing a successful black man.

New York Times is erasing the black man who worked with Rush Limbaugh.

I've heard Mr. Snerdly's voice before. Not often, but I have heard it.

"Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley." Always loved those updates.

Just shows you they don’t listen to the show before they report about it. I have heard his voice many times.

Dude literally hosted the show a few weeks back.

@BoSnerdley is one of the kindest, forgiving men ever. He is a hero! He has been by Rush’s side for many many years. Truly a wonderful man.

The New York Times apparently didn't know that Bo Snerdley is a real person.

Wait until they find out he's black.

The Times doesn’t know there’s an America beyond their subscribers.

In case the New York Times needs more proof, Snerdley is set to be on “Hannity” tonight:
So I will get back to posting news stories tomorrow. Sorry been so lean today and yesterday. Tonight I will join my dear friend @seanhannity.
I just can't stop crying. It comes in waves -often unexpectedly. Heartbroken.— Bo Snerdley (@BoSnerdley) February 18, 2021
