Detroit is not unaccustomed to exaggerated, outdated or uninformed perceptions of the city being thrown around in the national media.

And everyone knew it was coming in waves after the bankruptcy filing last month.

But it seems Detroit's public radio station WDET had just about enough this week, taking aim at Rush Limbaugh, who spouted off a number of inaccuracies about the city's history while commenting on the city's financial struggle in a recent Fox News segment.

The station put together a video breaking down the various assertions made by Limbaugh that just weren't true.

The most obvious was his statement that the election of Mayor Coleman Young led to the 1967 riot.

Young wasn't elected until 1973.
