It\u2019s getting even more embarrassing. It\u2019s getting stupider and dumber and more embarrassing to watch our media on a daily basis.

I mean, I know what they\u2019re doing and everybody else knows what they\u2019re doing.

This was after this fiasco with this sad sack &#8212; have you ever seen &#8212; by the way, this Nunberg escapade yesterday, the spectacle, is a classic illustration of the definition of Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n<p>Greetings, my friends. Great to have you. Rush Limbaugh at 800-282-2882, and the email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n<p>So the big news of the day &#8212; you know, before I get into that, I want to remind you of something and the way to watch this, if you\u2019re gonna endeavor to watch it. These people in the media, you know, you can argue about whether they believe this or whether they\u2019ve become poisoned by their own hatred or whether it\u2019s all an act and they know it\u2019s an act and they\u2019re perpetuating a myth knowingly. You can argue about that.<\/p>\n<p>What you can\u2019t argue about is that they have no concern and no awareness of how they look to the audience. And that means they don\u2019t care really what their audience thinks of this. All of this is being done for the audience that is inside Washington, inside the Washington establishment. And there is a singular focus throughout that establishment, and I don\u2019t care where you go, if you go to the intelligence community, the House, the Senate, if you go to the various cabinet-level bureaucracies, the objective there is to get rid of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pure and simple, and that\u2019s all it is, and that is the order of business every day. Pure and simple, plain and simple, that\u2019s the focus, that is the objective. There isn\u2019t any news anymore. There isn\u2019t even any reporting of news anymore. There is simply the daily agenda of getting rid of Trump and everything that happens that could be related to that that would move that objective forward.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-266696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-06-at-12.13.23-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-06-at-12.13.23-PM.png 589w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-06-at-12.13.23-PM-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>So the big news of the day yesterday, supposed to be about some person that none of us ever heard of. A sad sack, clearly disturbed, unbalanced individual by the name of Nunberg. When I saw this, remember these OJ Simpson movies, the parodies on police, Police Squad or whatever. He played this idiot cop named Nordberg. That\u2019s all I could think of when I kept seeing this guy\u2019s name Nunberg. I thought I was watching a comedy. I thought, &#8220;I\u2019m watching a comedy movie here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sam Nunberg. Nobody ever heard of Sam Nunberg and that\u2019s why Sam Nunberg is a basket case. He wants desperately to be heard of like every other Millennial out there, desperate to be known, desperate for everybody to know who he is, desperate to have his life have meaning, desperate to be famous. But your life is never gonna have meaning if you don\u2019t have any responsibility, and this guy clearly doesn\u2019t have any responsibility, and that agitates him.<\/p>\n<p>He was fired I think from the Trump campaign three times. He was sued for $10 million for violating an NDA, a nondisclosure agreement. But we\u2019re supposed to all be breathless and speechless at the things this guy was saying, even though he\u2019s been fired three times, at least. He had low level staff jobs. I mean, the real question, if you want to really explore this, is what the hell was this guy doing anywhere near a campaign? You know, how did that happen?<\/p>\n<p>But to think that this guy has the goods? These people, they go to bed at night dreaming of waking up with the magic bullet piece of evidence that Trump and Putin are friends and colluded and stole the election from Hillary. They dream of waking up with that story dropping right in their lap. That is how they begin every day. They begin every day thinking it\u2019s gonna happen, praying it\u2019s gonna happen. Well, I don\u2019t know about praying. Hoping it\u2019s gonna happen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266699\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030618-Nunberg-CNN-Burrnet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030618-Nunberg-CNN-Burrnet.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-030618-Nunberg-CNN-Burrnet-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Believing that it is happening, when some lunatic like this shows up &#8212; I\u2019m sorry &#8212; when some disturbed individual crying out for attention shows up and starts saying exactly what they want to hear, a guy who never worked on Trump\u2019s general election campaign, a guy who never worked at the White House, again, exclamation point, on the fact that this means nobody has anything if this can become the news cycle.<\/p>\n<p>This guy was on more shows than Susan Rice went on to deny what happened in Benghazi. This guy was on any show that would take him, and they kept him for 45 minutes. Nobody gets 45 minutes, especially when they smell adult beverages on his breath. So this guy is the news cycle. He has no direct knowledge of anything, which means Mueller doesn\u2019t have anything, which means the Drive-Bys don\u2019t have anything, which means there isn\u2019t anything.<\/p>\n<p>There is no evidence, and they\u2019re grasping at every little bit of excrement somebody throws on the wall hoping that it will stick. And it\u2019s even worse than that because the Drive-Bys knew that this poor soul had an axe to grind against Trump. Again, fired by the Trump campaign at least three times, even sued for $10 million, violating nondisclosure agreements.<\/p>\n<p>But the Drive-Bys seized on this guy, Nunberg, because he leaked a subpoena to the Washington Post, which is seeking documents related to Trump and nine other people. So this guy got a subpoena to show up and said I\u2019m not gonna show up. I\u2019m gonna rip that subpoena up, I\u2019m not giving Mueller, I\u2019m not going. So he became an immediate get. And he claimed that he knew that Mueller has something on Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-266704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/NunbergJakeTapper.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/NunbergJakeTapper.png 800w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/NunbergJakeTapper-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/NunbergJakeTapper-768x428.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>He knew, he said, he knew Trump had to have done something, Trump must have done something. That\u2019s all it took. And these guys in the media were like flies on a corpse. They just could not be dissuaded to stay away. And it\u2019s that last thing that really set off the feeding frenzy. They thought at long last, at long last they had somebody from the Trump campaign who would say that Mueller has the goods on Trump because this guy had the goods on Trump and he told Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>So the media put this guy on every program they could. He ended up doing six cable news interviews. And they were breathless and they were excited and the Drive-Bys kept trying to draw him out. This guy was either toying with them or inebriated or a combination of things but, man, if he was playing them along, he was doing it like a Stradivarius.<\/p>\n<p>But it all backfired. It backfired when Nunberg contradicted himself and basically melted down on TV, which immediately threw cold water on all the media\u2019s hopes and dreams of finally having proof that Trump had colluded with the Russians. And by the end of the day, Nunberg ended up basically denying he ever thought there was any evidence of collusion.<\/p>\n<p>So all day long, all afternoon this guy\u2019s on television everywhere, &#8220;Yeah, I know that Trump did something with the Russians, and Mueller knows it, too.&#8221; And he was feeding the beast, and they were soaking it up, they were eating it, they were swallowing it, they couldn\u2019t get enough of it.<\/p>\n<p>And then at the end of the day the guy owns up and contradicts himself while melting down, dashing all of their hopes.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the day, Nunberg ended up basically denying he ever thought there was any evidence of collusion. So all this ended up being was a perfect example of a media feeding frenzy that completely failed its objective.<\/p>\n<p>You know, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/online\/axios-founders-sam-nunberg-interviews-are-why-america-hates-the-media\/\">Mike Allen writing at Axios said, &#8220;This is why people hate the media.&#8221;<\/a> This is only part of where why people hate the media, but it\u2019s a good example. So now instead of presenting Nunberg as their prime proof of Trump collusion, the media&#8230; (laughing) Get this! The media is now trying to salvage something from this fiasco by saying that Nunberg just proves that Trump surrounds himself with lunatics and that they\u2019ve done a great job ferreting that out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-266706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/drunk-nunberg-burnett2-1024x568.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/drunk-nunberg-burnett2-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/drunk-nunberg-burnett2-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/drunk-nunberg-burnett2-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/drunk-nunberg-burnett2-1080x599.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/drunk-nunberg-burnett2.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They, the Drive-By Media, have once again exposed yet another fraud working for Trump, and this is supposedly evidence that proves that Trump surrounds himself with nut jobs, and so the sliming continues unabated. It was Erin Burnett of Erin Burnett OutFront&#8230; Here\u2019s a little thought experiment for you. This Nunberg media circus ended with Erin Burnett asking Nunberg if he was drunk. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/video\/2018\/03\/05\/cnns-burnett-to-nunberg-i-have-smelled-alcohol-on-your-breath\/\">She even said she smelled adult beverages on his breath<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as a thought experiment, ask yourself if Ms. Burnett would have asked this question if Nunberg had followed through. If Nunberg had continued to claim that Mueller has something on Trump, would they have ever referenced that the guy was consuming adult beverages in the greenroom? They would have never mentioned it. We would never know that Nunberg might have been showing up while inebriated, but the media had to get that out when he started imploding and contradicting himself and backtracking off every claim that he had made.<\/p>\n<p>There would be no questioning of Nunberg\u2019s sanity or his drinking or drug use if he had continued to stay on message and affirm that Trump colluded with Russia. In fact, if he hadn\u2019t backtracked, if he hadn\u2019t melted down &#8212; if he hadn\u2019t, at the end of the day, contradicted every assertion that he made &#8212; today there would be nothing but praise for the courage of a former Trump aide coming forward with this important information. As it turns out, it\u2019s beyond description how useless and worthless this is.<\/p>\n<p>But look at the time and the attention this guy got.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t any checking.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t any confirmation.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t hold this guy\u2019s TV appearances while they tracked down what he said.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t do any checking on this guy at all.\u00a0 All it took was somebody from the Trump campaign dumping on Trump saying there had to be collusion between Trump and Russia. That was enough. &#8220;Put him on the air!&#8221;\u00a0 Six different times.\u00a0 He was on with Erin Burnett, I think, for 45 minutes. Did I see that? Forty-five minutes?<\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019re trying to spin their failure with this.\u00a0 You see, they had hoped that Nunberg was gonna finally give \u2019em proof of Trump\u2019s collusion, but instead of admitting they made fools of themselves by giving this whack job all of this wall-to-wall coverage, the media is now claiming that Nunberg cracked under the pressure of (laughing) Mueller closing in on Trump.\u00a0 All of this happened yesterday because Mueller\u2019s getting close! Mueller\u2019s getting close to Trump and that means Nunberg was feeling vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>Nunberg might be caught up in all of this, so he had to go out there and somehow protect himself.\u00a0 In the real world, nobody knew who the guy was!\u00a0 He was fired three times, sued for $10 million.\u00a0 The guy was a nonfactor.\u00a0 Can somebody explain something to me, by the way?\u00a0 Why is Carter Page still running around free?\u00a0 Well, no.\u00a0 The reason I ask this is \u2019cause he was the reason they got the FISA warrant.\u00a0 Carter Page.\u00a0 Where are the charges against Carter Page?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-266713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CNNNunbergMSNBC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CNNNunbergMSNBC.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CNNNunbergMSNBC-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Carter Page was the reason for the first step they took to try to establish that Trump was colluding with Putin and Russia.\u00a0 Now, the FBI and everybody in the Drive-Bys say, &#8220;No, no, no, no! It wasn\u2019t Carter Page. You are wrong.\u00a0 It was Papadopoulos.&#8221;\u00a0 Oh, really?\u00a0 Papadopoulos?\u00a0 Well, guess what we\u2019ve learned about that?\u00a0 This Australian lawmaker, whoever he was &#8212; ambassador &#8212; that Papadopoulos started running off at the mouth to? Guess where that guy used to work?\u00a0 He\u2019s a donor to the Clinton Foundation!<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/australian-diplomat-who-gave-fbi-tip-on-trump-aide-helped-arrange-large-donation-to-clinton-foundation-report\/article\/2650772\">25- to 50-million-dollar donor to the Clinton Foundation<\/a>, the guy that Papadopoulos ended up making a drunken comment to! The Clintons are everywhere in this story. They are everywhere, and they\u2019re being ignored. They\u2019re being exonerated; they\u2019re being passed by.\u00a0 So on one hand, it was Carter Page was the reason that we got the FISA warrant to spy on Trump.\u00a0 Yet he\u2019s walking around free as a bird. No charges, no plea deals, nothing!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, people that haven\u2019t been named, people that weren\u2019t involved in the FISA warrant are either pleading guilty or being charged.\u00a0 Then after the Carter Page thing blew up, Adam Schiff and the Democrats and their precious little response memo are trying to say, &#8220;It wasn\u2019t Carter Page that got this all started.\u00a0 It was George Papadopoulos!&#8221;\u00a0 Well, they didn\u2019t know about Papadopoulos until six months into this.<\/p>\n<p>And Papadopoulos is another bit player that Trump has never met on the fringes of the campaign.\u00a0 You know, a campaign in politics is like a rock tour in music.\u00a0 There are groupies and there are hangers-on, and the band doesn\u2019t know 90% of \u2019em.\u00a0 They trust the unit managers and all that to keep the creeps and the groupies away. Unless the band, you know, wants a night with a groupie; then that\u2019s arranged. But other than that, the wackos are kept out.<\/p>\n<p>So Papadopoulos is talking to an Australian ambassador some such thing, and he\u2019s had too much to drink one night, and he starts talking about Trump and the Russians. And little Adam Schiff says, &#8220;That\u2019s what got the FISA warrant going. That\u2019s exchange. It\u2019s not Carter Page.&#8221;\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s BS.\u00a0 It was Carter Page.\u00a0 It was all Carter Page.\u00a0 Papadopoulos is a fallback position because the first attempt at getting this FISA warrant was bogus.<\/p>\n<p>Now we find out that the guy Papadopoulos was mouthing off to is a big-time donor to the Clinton Foundation, and you know what that means.\u00a0 He\u2019s a big-time investor in the Clinton political fortunes.\u00a0 Everywhere you look, the Clintons are involved here.\u00a0 And they\u2019re being ignored.\u00a0 They\u2019re being given a big pass.\u00a0 They\u2019re being exonerated, in fact.\u00a0 Comey exonerated Hillary, and I\u2019m telling you: The Clintons and their widespread universe is really the focal point.\u00a0 It\u2019s Ground Zero for all of this crap.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-266697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/KennedyCronkite.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/KennedyCronkite.jpeg 605w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/KennedyCronkite-300x208.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>RUSH:\u00a0 You know, I have to&#8230; You people in the Drive-By Media, you need to be embarrassed.\u00a0 At some point, you need to fess up.\u00a0 There has to be some semblance of maturity and responsibility.\u00a0 Are there no adults left anywhere in the media?\u00a0 I\u2019m being serious.\u00a0 Are there no adults?\u00a0 Walter Cronkite would never do this.\u00a0 Walter Cronkite, Edward R.

The evidence, in fact, points straight to the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat Party, and it is being studiously, purposely ignored.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We\u2019re gonna move Flippy, the burger-flipping robot story to about eight minutes from now.\u00a0 So hang in there and be patient.\u00a0 In the meantime, we\u2019re gonna start in Oakland, Nebraska.\u00a0 This is Chad, and it\u2019s great to have you, Chad.\u00a0 I\u2019m glad that you were patient and waited.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: \u00a0Thanks, Rush.\u00a0 Good to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Hey, this is not really about the education that you were just talking about, but I want to know &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Chad? Chad, wait.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No, everything is about education.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s the point.\u00a0 Everything can be linked to education.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Yeah.

Nunberg&#8230; Approval numbers? Nunberg hadn\u2019t been there since 2015.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t a poll that anybody considered worth it that has Trump at 35%.\u00a0 Trump\u2019s approval numbers, in fact, no matter what poll you look at&#8230; February he had a good month, his approval numbers were tacking upward in every opinion poll, and he\u2019s hovering between 48 and 50% at Rasmussen.\u00a0 But it\u2019s nowhere near 35%.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 No, and 48 to 50 sounds a lot better, but I just gotta believe it\u2019s even higher than that because I\u2019ve never seen this poll.\u00a0 You know, they\u2019re not coming out to the sticks here and asking us about our approval. (chuckling)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Well, they don\u2019t go anywhere.\u00a0 They call people on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Much of polling is done on phones, and they\u2019re still having trouble finding cell phones. You know, there\u2019s not a cell phone number like there is for landlines.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 Right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 So you&#8230; Look, the thing&#8230; Here\u2019s what you have to do to understand polls.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you to believe whichever one you want to believe, whenever they come out.\u00a0 But the primary purpose of polling data today, Chad, is to shape public opinion, not reflect it.\u00a0 The prime&#8230; The secondary purpose of polling is to create news stories.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it amazing that pretty much every poll result, particularly in a campaign, becomes its own news cycle?\u00a0 Its own series of stories.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it\u2019s done.\u00a0 But here\u2019s another thing to look at, Chad.\u00a0 What does it mean?\u00a0 Let\u2019s go back one year.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go back to March the 6th of 2017.\u00a0 Do you remember, Chad, what Trump\u2019s number, his polling number in the presidential race was one year ago?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:\u00a0 No, I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Why not?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Uhhhh&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Because it didn\u2019t matter.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t mater.\u00a0 Does it matter what horse is in the lead at the halfway point?\u00a0 No! It doesn\u2019t tell you anything.\u00a0 These polls are useless, unless you allow them to shape your opinion of things &#8212; and that\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This Nunberg escapade yesterday, the spectacle, is a classic illustration of the definition of Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":266699,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
