A Lesson in How Media Propaganda Works
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | June 26, 2017 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 06/26/2017 3:08:29 PM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: This is a teachable moment to show you, illustrate for you a little bit about how media propaganda works. I know what you’re saying, “Rush, we know that. You’ve been telling us this for almost 30 years.” Yeah, but it’s a great example here. It’s as much what they don’t cover or report on as much as what they do.

Yesterday Crazy Bernie was on two Sunday shows. He was on with Chuck Todd on NBC and John Dickerson on CBS. He was on Meet the Press and Deface the Nation. It was Crazy Bernie’s first network TV appearances or interviews since two of his campaign supporters killed people or tried to kill in Alexandria. One of his supporters did kill somebody in Portland, and the other guy at the baseball practice in Alexandria tried to kill a number of people. All this in the past two weeks.

This is Bernie’s first network TV interview since these two attempted murders. It was also the first Bernie appearance since it has been learned that Bernie and his wife are being investigated by the FBI for bank fraud. Have you even heard about that? Well, you have, Snerdley, because you’re a wonk. And I assume that many of you in this audience have heard. Crazy Bernie and his wife, it turns out they’re major money players, and they try to shift and they move money around. They take advantage of the tax code like nobody’s business, and they have multiple domiciles. (interruption) No, no. No, no, no. It’s not a reptile. A domicile is a home, for those of you in Rio Linda, and Crazy Bernie and his wife have numerous ones.

Now, they’re not supposed to have all this wealth. I mean, they’re socialists. They’re supposed to, you know, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs or vice-versa. But Crazy Bernie and his wife are under investigation. Guess what? Neither Chuck Todd nor John Dickerson asked a single question about the political violence or the bank fraud charges or the investigations. Not a single one.

You got two crazed Bernie supporters out there who committed murder and one who tried to, and then Crazy Bernie tried to distance himself from the shooter at the baseball practice and then within days goes out and starts encouraging similar behavior. (imitating Bernie) “You gotta really step up. And we can’t take any excuse. We must do everything we can to take back our power,” or whatever, in this crazed atmosphere.

He wasn’t asked one question. And of course we do the old reversal theory. If it had been Sarah Palin showing up on TV after Gabby Giffords, do you think she would have been not asked about what they were claiming was the reason the shooter shot Gabby Giffords, which of course was totally fabricated. How do you do this? How do you have Crazy Bernie on, you don’t ask him about the bank investigation, bank fraud or his wife, you don’t ask him about these two crazed — I mean, the answer is obvious, but I just wanted to point it out.

It’s a modern day “Tokyo Rose” media.

Tokyo Rose was still going strong even in Aug of 1945 until the Atomic bombs were dropped.

Just know it’s all lies and we have the momentum. We are certainly winning and the Globalists are losing.

How many times and how emphatically would Trump have to disavow his supporters if they did anything like these idiot Bernie bros? Would the interview contain any other topic?

I listened to the show, but reading the transcript refreshes my recollection.

How do you have Crazy Bernie on, you don’t ask him about the bank investigation, bank fraud or his wife, you don’t ask him about these two crazed — I mean, the answer is obvious, but I just wanted to point it out.

1.) He wouldn't come on if those topics were on the table.

2.) This is the LSM/DNC appeals to the Crazy Bernie crowd to say "no hard feelings" after we rigged the game for HRC.

3.) And while you're here, please to encourage your crazies not to come after us lying, despicable, members of the LSM/DNC like they do Republicans and others...

How do you figure that? It is not even an excerpt.

You do not have to go to any link to read the article.

If that moron thinks he can tell me to stop posting Rush’s transcripts he is greatly mistaken. I will post them as long as I feel like

You are doing a valuable service.

I appreciate it.

But no need to use personal attack adjectives.

You have already made your point.
