Truth has no place in the MSM ... and is most often punished when it is “exposed”.

Even Rush had to apologize so as to stop losing advertisers.

Bullshit Baldy.

I've been a Rush listener since the beginning, am a 24/7 subscriber, got the news letter, and you cannot point to any quote where Rush apologized to stop losing advertisers.

When the kerfuffle came up over the Georgetown 'student' that couldn't afford the pill and Rush was bombarded with negative fake complaints and began to bleed advertisers, he stood and fought back.

After it passed, two of his first and biggest advertisers, "Sleep Number" and a computer backup company, I forgot the name that had suspended advertising on Rush, wanted to come back.

Rush told them to piss off, and you call this apologizing?

I can listen to the entire 32+ plus years of Rush from the Rush Archives, please point to the apology?

Or you can apologize for pure bullshit.

The facts don't matter. The narrative has been established and hardened in stone.

He could go over to Newsmax but he would have to take a big pay cut.

If Trump loses in November, Tucker is gone from Fox.

I don't think it will take till November. I will be surprised if he lasts till July. Cannot speak against the commies and immigration pro big businesses, don't cha know.

What none of these jerks understand, or care, is when you remove free exchange of ideas from the airways and get one idea blasted at you all day, you lose perspective. In the end, and I don't see any potential this is not going to happen, we will descend into an anti competition country with the multi nationals on top and the rest of us drones. The irony, ANTIFA, one of the vessels in this campaign will be rewarded with exactly that, a fascist state. I said recently I hope this all holds together for another 20 years, way beyond my life expectancy, but I truly feel it is not going to last 20 months. We are all frogs in the boiling pot. When the dems take over in November which I am sure they will now, the expectations of the mob will not be realized because they are not their answer either because no one can give them their ideal world. So, rather than rising up for the betterment of society as a whole, we will descend into chaos IMO especially when the mob comes to the conclusion they have been duped.

They tried that nonsense with Hannity. They tried the boycott tango with Laura then Tucker.
They are all stronger than ever with the highest ratings in cable, not just cable news.
The moment one group if advertisers leave someone else takes their place. Fox News is making more money than ever.

Actually Tucker is making a strong case for being the guy to take the torch from El Rushbo as the leading voice of Conservatism in broadcasting.

Tucker is going nowhere.
They tried everything against Hannity during the Obama regime. He is still there (going on 27 years now) with the highest ratings in cable.

Rush is as conservative as ever. Totally against Antifa and Black Lives Matter. He hasn't mellowed one bit.

I am talking of Tucker, not Hannity. BTW, that two faced ferret faced Ryan was not on the Fox Board when Ohaha was president during the attacks on Hannity.

Fox is more profitable than CNN. CNN has laid off thousands over the past few years from their collapsing ratings.
They used to dominate cable news. Now they are last.

Tucker has never said anything against the protests. He's a firm supporter of the First Amendment, freedom of speech, freedom to PEACEABLY (hear that, Fredo?) assemble, freedom to demand redress of grievances.

What Tucker is slamming are THE RIOTS!!!

While CNN reports on "peaceful protests" with cars and buildings burning in the background, performances worthy of Baghdad Bob, they either ignore (or outright HIDE) or soft-peddle the riots.

“We are all frogs in the boiling pot.”

Yes, and the heat is being turned up. I believe the pot was put on the stove in January of 1989. Of course it was all set in motion well before that.

If Obama couldn't get rid of Hannity or Rush after 8 years of really trying, what makes you think some future Dem regime can?
Paul Ryan?
How many shares of Fix does he have?
He is a token political appointment.
He has zero power at Fox.

Are you sure about that? I don't recall ever hearing Rush apologize for a statement. When he's been proven to be wrong, a VERY rare thing, he's issued corrections, but I don't recall ever hearing him apologize to stop losing advertisers.

What I do recall about lost advertisers is that when advertisers responded to coordinated smear campaigns against Rush by pulling their advertising, once they realized they had made a mistake and tried to reestablish business a business relationship with Rush's show, Rush has told the advertiser to take a flying leap.

The irony, ANTIFA, one of the vessels in this campaign will be rewarded with exactly that, a fascist state.

It's not "irony," it's a lie. The ANTIFA leaders know that the vast majority of those who don't actively hate ANTIFA are useful idiots, who hear "anti fascist" and assume that it means that they are not fascists.

ANTIFA IS a Marxist group that uses the tried and true tactics of a fascist organization, and the depend on the "dumb masses" (shout-out to Neil Boortz, say it quickly) to take it that the name is an accurate description of the group. Just because a cat's in the oven doesn't make it a biscuit!

When someone (who usually has a soft spot in their head and heart for socialism) claims that the name means "anti-fascist," the response is that "The 'National Socialst German Workers Party' in 1930s Germany was the full name of the NAZI party. Or if they believe that the 'Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea,' AKA North Korea, is either demoratic or a republic??
