You know, I think the Republicans and Donald Trump, their only chance is if they can at least introduce some antitrust legislation for the five companies that control all the media. I think that\u2019s the only way you\u2019re gonna defeat these people. The media is just too powerful. They can cover up figures. They can cover up murder. They can cover up any criminal activity the Democrats do. And they can spin it so that people accept it. Like you said, willful ignorance. It\u2019s really they\u2019re just being manipulated, of course, and I think the only way to deal with them is to not only call them out as being anti-American, but to actually go after them with some anti-trust legislation.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s not gonna change anything. You could call Jack Dorsey or the Google guy any name in the book. Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, call \u2019em any name, and they\u2019re gonna continue to deny that they\u2019re doing what they\u2019re doing. But they are doing it on purpose. They are suppressing and canceling and banning conservative content and personalities as often as they can. Something\u2019s gonna have to be done about it. If we\u2019re gonna have these social media firms and, if they\u2019re gonna be public like this, then something\u2019s gonna have to be done because it\u2019s restraint of trade, and I think trust busting is something that ought to be looked into here. And it would be self-preservation from the standpoint of Republicans and conservatives. There\u2019s no way to compete against it otherwise, and that\u2019s the definition. They\u2019re able to buy up competitors and silence \u2019em. There\u2019s no way to compete against this. Social media, you combine them with the rest of the Drive-By Media, and you\u2019re locked out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I think trust busting is something that ought to be looked into here.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":293082,"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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Should the Government Bust Up FAANG?
