Rush thinks for me, this way I avoid pain and confusion.
Well, he is the all knowing, all seeing, El Rushbo. :0)
having the news media say nothing is he playbook
“Who is this kid anyways?”
That was my thought. I looked it up: “He was a politics major at Princeton University, class of 1998.” Since then, he has written for newspapers.
IOW, his experience involving politics is a fraction of mine, and his experience in business, war and how the world works is almost non-existent. Yet I’m supposed to care about his views?
They've been close friends for decades.
What was wrong here was that it was not his Republican rivals raising these issues or taking on Trump. It was the Fox News “moderators” of what was supposed to be a candidates’ debate. They came into the arena to do to Trump what his GOP rivals have been too timid or reluctant to do.
Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly came with their oppo research done and attack questions prepared — to sack Trump in the end zone and send him to the locker room on a stretcher.
When did that become the job of a “moderator” who is supposed to be more of a referee than a middle linebacker?
Who decided to turn the first Republican presidential debate into a two-hour version of “The Kelly File”?
No, Nitwit. Rush couldn’t do that, but Fox’s viewers could! They demand truth!
Excellent summary:

I think..like most us...the PP thing really ticked him off and it set him back on fire...the way things should be with him.

Rush needs to bring back “Caller Abortions.”
I’ll give Rush credit for an assist but the angry birds of the conservative wing of the Republican party (us) carried the water on this one. Viewership and social media carnage drove Ailes to the peace table. And that’s why Meggie had to take powder and head for the beach for 10 days.
Well we know it wasn’t the New York Times... they can’t even get Hillary to be truthful with them...
YEEEESSSSS !!!! Oh the memories.
-——Misleading title, as the two lefty journos ended up agreeing the obvious—that Roger backed down for Fox’s own best interest.
Along the way, they say that talk radio and Drudge are, after Roger and Fox, the most powerful forces in news from the right. Again, only the obvious.-——
OANN, the One America News Network, is going to become the next FoxNews network after the Fox migration to the dark side is complete.

Making SH*T UP...
Nicholas Confessore is a political correspondent on the National Desk of The New York Times
Nicholas Confessore, Liberal Editor Turned Times Reporter
New reporter Nicholas Confessore pens “Breaking the Code,” on the conservative Bush’s push for tax reform, for the cover of the Times Sunday Magazine (sharing the space with a defense of the Social Security program from liberal contributing writer Roger Lowenstein).
Confessore, who made his Times debut this month as a city reporter, is a former editor at the liberal journal Washington Monthly and more recently was staff writer for the liberal American Prospect magazine. He’s also written for liberal mags The New Republic and Salon. Apparently this is an ideal resume for a Times reporter, because he jumped to the NYT and now has a magazine cover story for his clip file.
Some of Confessore’s more provocative recent opinions can be found in the archives of the American Prospect’s blog TAPPED. In November, while discussing a Village Voice posting (scroll down), Confessoreopined that “keeping down the black vote is really quite an old Republican game.”
In Octoberhe insisted: “The Bush administration, having already succeeded in getting the corporate bosses at 60 Minutes to keep away from stories too critical of this White House, would like to cow another of the country’s most effective and prestigious news organizations.” (The “prestigious news organization” in question, interestingly enough, was the New York Times.)
And in one of his lastpostings before leaving the blog to become a Times reporter, Confessore praised a misleadingNYT story on Social Security: “This New York Times news analysis gets it right: ‘Most G.O.P. Plans to Remake Social Security Involve Deep Cuts to Tomorrow’s Retirees.’ There’s simply no two ways around it. I’ll be curious to see how the papers deal with any potential White House maneuvers to redefine or explain away the massive amount of government borrowing that would be required to finance the abolition of Social Security and the transition to private accounts.”

Competition is good, and I’m glad that more people are seeing through Fox.
LOL: perfect!
