Limbaugh Hails Trump's Media Bashing
politico.com ^ | 05/31/16

Posted on 05/31/2016 3:52:15 PM PDT by Helicondelta

To hear Rush Limbaugh tell it Tuesday, Donald Trump's 40-minute tirade against the mainstream media as he accounted for the nearly $6 million raised for veterans was a gully washer after years of parched Republican distaste with the Fourth Estate.

"Well, that's what you've all wanted. That's what everybody's been asking for I don't know how long," Limbaugh began in a segment of his show, according to the transcript. "That was a press conference. That was a press conference. That was the kind of press conference Republicans voters have been dying to see for who knows how many years."

I would say that would be an understatement of Biblical proportions.

The print & TV media is in pure 100% panic. Trump wiped up the floor with those low life, rat, Obama/Clinton, vermin today!!! I loved every second & minutes of his performance.......finally a Republican with a real backbone....unlike the trio of weak sister losers, John McCain, Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan.

By the way, Speaker Ryan, where is your loyalty and backbone.....get your RINO butt in gear, and fully endorse and support DJT...or, join up with “traitor” Bill Kristol, and become another bonafide low life traitor!!! I hate to say this Paul Ryan....but, you make me sick!!!

The fifth-column leftist media are nothing but lying, traitorous human excrement. There is no phrase Trump could use to describe the media (and that includes Scott, Lester, Gwen, and David) that could be considered too insulting or too degrading.

I think Tom Llantas should EXPLAIN to the public HOW, WHEN and BY WHOM Juanita Broaddrick was discredited:

If you’re on Twitter, why not ask him DIRECTLY..?

I particularly liked the reporter who asked why Trump had to have so much publicity for the fund raising event.

-—I wonder how much the Clintons gave to the Vets?-—

The challenge was to hillary to recite the list of organizations and amounts

She can’t of course and her hypocrisy will be there plain for all to see

He was asked if the press could expect this kind of treatment in the future. Without even blinking an eye, Trump’s response was Yes!

That was the kind of press conference Republicans voters have been dying to see for who knows how many years...so true - what Republicans have been needing for decades is someone who could communicate across the deliberate neglect and suppression of the 'pub message by the MSM - clearly this eventually had to take someone flamboyant and a tad outrageous to grab and hold the attention of the public so that the media could no longer ignore them - now if only The Donald would dial it back a bit - there's the old joke about the old-timer teaching the tenderfoot how to train a mule - "you've got to be very kind and gentle to get them to go along with you", said the old-timer, picking up a two-by-four and swatting the mule across the backside - "I thought you had to be kind and gentle", protested the tenderfoot - "Yeah, but first you've got to get their attention", said the old-timer.....

Trump on Hannity tonight. Any guess on whether this will be brought up?

How he ended it, from the CNN transcript:

AND WE HAVE TO READ STORIES PROBABLY LIBELOUS STORIES CERTAINLY CLOSE IN THE NEWSPAPERS AND PEOPLE KNOW THE STORIES ARE FALSE. I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TO ATTACK THE PRESS. I FIND THE PRESS TO BE EXTREMELY DISHONEST. THE POLITICAL PRESS IS UNBELIEVABLY DISHONEST. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE]

Trump gave 100% to the veterans
CLINTON Foundation gives 10% and keeps 90%

Repeat often and spread to all

My favorite part!!
I mean, it was great to hear about the vets’ organizations getting their checks, but Trump made it clear the press conference was only called b/c of the leftist claims he didn’t raise or distribute that much. So they brought it on themselves, ha!

I’ve said from day 1, I LOVE the way he takes no sh*t from anyone.

When the media present a “mis-truth”, he corrects them, on the spot, calls them out for what they are, etc.

IF the media were to accurately report, Trump would have no problem with them. They lie? They pay. Pure and simple.

Yep, in the media echo-chamber they’re blameless so it MUST be unacceptable to criticize them.
They’re like a disturbed hornet’s nest on Twitter over this LOL!

I just had the radio on and listened to Michael Medved for a couple of minutes (which is usually about as much as I can stand) and he was bashing Trump for bashing the media today.
