Rush Limbaugh has never masqueraded as a newsman. He’s a polemicist, anentertainer. Meanwhile, scum-organs like the Washington Post and CBS spew their lies and half-truths daily under the mask of “news.”
So tell me, who’s betraying their consumers?
Rush has a number of “firsts”. One of them was on his short lived television show. He did something that had never been done before. And that is a BIG deal when you think about the fact that it is done ALL THE TIME now:
He would show a video of a democrat saying something that week, and then show a video of the same democrat contradicting it in a previous speech.
That was HUGE for me. It had never been done on any kind of national or mainstream scale before. I LOVED IT.

Exactly . . .The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)The reality is that, exactly in the process of turning the debates into hit pieces against Trump, journalism turned the “debates” into reality shows - and Trump is a star of "reality TV.” Journalism has given us a reality TV campaign. Not Rush Limbaugh.Rush refused to pick a horse in the Republican race, because (unlike NeverTrumpers like Mark Levin) Rush refused to get into a position where he was on the wrong foot in backing the ultimate Republican Party nominee. Rush did stipulate that Cruz was the most consistent conservative in the race, tho - and that certainly is not any way to con grandma into backing Trump.
