Media Should Admit Role in Anti-Trump Effort<\/a> — After the disastrous inaccurate reporting during Donald Trump\u2019s campaign and the subsequent rash of obviously fake news, it\u2019s hard to understand how so many so-called journalists didn\u2019t question what the Mueller investigation was all about, as well as how and why it was initiated.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-031618-Establishment-Members-Only.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Meaning, they had no curiosity about anything. They just slavishly reported whatever they leaked and dished. \u201cIn the end, the closest thing to collusion was President Trump\u2019s joke that we should ask the Russians to give us copies of Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only have there been few if any mea culpas after no collusion was discovered, but news and opinion reporting got even worse.\u201d This is the letter writer here. \u201cI can\u2019t even rationalize how and why the media is buying what the Democrats are doing to discredit Attorney General William Barr and continue supporting the failed coup of the duly-elected president. Democrats and journalists are only proving that Barr and Trump are precisely what we need. They are the right men at the right time.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow Rush Limbaugh, who is primarily an entertainer, is more of a journalist than most of those pretending to be journalists. As biased as Limbaugh is, at least he doesn\u2019t rush to judgment or present erroneous talking points. He digs in to substantiate what he professes with specified rather than unnamed \u2018reliable\u2019 sources. Try fact-checking him after he\u2019s had the opportunity to fess up to the rare occasions when he is wrong. How much fessing up are we getting from CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post or Associated Press? Very little, if any.\u201d<\/p>\n
The letter writer is Ed from North Cape May in The Press of Atlantic City. It\u2019s a great point. And the icing on the cake is mentioning me in there. But referring to me as entertainer — but as more of a journalist than a professed, real journalist, it is a fascinating thing that not a single — I know it\u2019s not a surprise. I\u2019m doing this for emphasis. Not a single reporter, analyst, guest, columnist, whatever, not a single one has acknowledged that they were wrong.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t expect them to beg for forgiveness. But when everybody in the world knows that what we got as news the past two years was wrong, the people that delivered it continue to act as though, \u201cOh well, we\u2019re just gonna keep on with the same effort, to get Trump. The last two years didn\u2019t do it, so we have to move on to something else,\u201d which is exactly what it is.<\/p>\n
Let me share with you a couple of sound bites from Trump on the declassification. People are still worried about it. We\u2019re up to sound bite number 2. This is Trump Friday in Washington on the White House lawn making his way to Marine One before leaving for his trip to Japan.<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: We want to be very transparent, so, as you know, I declassified everything, everything they want, I put it under the auspices of the attorney general. He\u2019s gonna be in charge of it. He\u2019s a great gentleman and a highly respected man. So everything that they need is declassified and they\u2019ll be able to see how this hoax, how the hoax or witch hunt started and why it started. It was an attempted coup or an attempted takedown of the president of the United States.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It was. It was not a hoax. It was not a hoax. A hoax you\u2019re trying to pull a joke on someone. That\u2019s not what this was. This was not a hoax. It was a coup. It was a scandal. Here\u2019s one more bite, a reporter shouting to the president, “What do you hope to accomplish with your personal attacks on Speaker Pelosi? You\u2019re out there saying that she\u2019s lost it.”<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-052819-pELOSI-mELTS.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, this just shows how fake you and the news are. When you say a personal attack, did you hear what she said about me long before I went after her? Did you hear? She made horrible statements. She knows they\u2019re not true. She said terrible things. So I just responded in kind. Look. You think Nancy\u2019s the same as she was? She\u2019s not. Maybe we could all say that. All they want to do is investigate because they failed with Robert Mueller and the Mueller report. They want to try and get a do-over of the Mueller report.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They do. But now that the investigation of the investigation has begun, we put together one of our famous montages here. The Drive-By Media and the Democrats are now writing off Trump\u2019s declassification order as a mere distraction. This isn\u2019t going to prove anything. This is dangerous. Trump should not be doing this. This is unproductive. This is what they say.<\/p>\n
RICHARD BLUMENTHAL: It seems much more like an effort to distract.<\/p>\n
PIERRE THOMAS: Democrats are accusing Barr and the president of trying to distract.<\/p>\n
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Trump distracts to hide his ignorance.<\/p>\n
KATE BOLDUAN: A stunt and an attempt to distract.<\/p>\n
ANDERSON COOPER: Is this just trying to distract from a day of very bad news for the president?<\/p>\n
JENNIFER GRANHOLM: One thing Donald Trump is a genius at, it is distraction.<\/p>\n
LAWRENCE O\u2019DONNELL: A Donald Trump distraction.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/APP-041018-Media-Montage-ADJUSTED.jpg\")
DON LEMON: Do you smell a distraction tactic here?<\/p>\n
JESSICA YELLIN: I do think this is an important distraction for him.<\/p>\n
JOHN KASICH: Of course, he\u2019s trying to change the subject.<\/p>\n
JAMES CLAPPER: Is a way to sort of focus attention away from not such a great week for him by let\u2019s investigate the investigators.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, we can\u2019t have that. No way. We can\u2019t have the truth coming out of what happened here. But you notice again every one of these people referring to this as a distraction. The marching orders, the faxes, the tweets, emails, whatever they are containing instructions goes out, they all get the instructions, and they all follow them. It\u2019s just amazing.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: So what are all of these people afraid of, the investigators who are now being investigated? The question answers itself. They don\u2019t want what they did and how it began to ever be known. So why document it in the first place? Why are there all of these documents that are ready to be declassified? I mean, if people are gonna start a coup, if they\u2019re gonna start an operation that is phony from the get-go, why document it?<\/p>\n
Have you ever wondered about this? I do. If I were gonna run an operation like this, the last thing I\u2019d do is put it down on paper. You think Ernst Stavros Blofeld actually wrote down every operation James Bond had to uncover and it was there to be found in hidden documents somewhere? He ran Spectre, Ernst Stavros Blofeld.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Telly-Savalas-Bond-e1559066169643.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
But these clowns did it. Look at the text messages between Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page, and all the other documentation, the stuff with Steele and the dossier. We know that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid for this. This stuff is there. It\u2019s waiting to be uncovered.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s go to sound bite number 5, Lindsey Graham, Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Question: \u201cCritics make two points particularly about this issue of declassifying documents. 1. Can Barr be trusted with these secrets? And 2. Can Barr be trusted not to cherry-pick the information to make a case for the president?\u201d<\/p>\n
GRAHAM: The people who are worried about this are worried about being exposed for taking the law in their own hands. It doesn\u2019t surprise me that the people we\u2019re looking at, they don\u2019t want transparency. We\u2019re trying to create a system to make sure this never happens again by shedding light on what happened with the FISA warrant process, the counterintelligence investigation. Did they have a lawful reason to surveil President Trump\u2019s campaign? Did they lie to the FISA court?<\/p>\n
RUSH: The question, look, here we are, we are more than two years into a documented coup. We\u2019re two years into an effort to undo the election results of 2016. We\u2019re two years or more into an effort to proclaim Donald Trump a traitor and a foreign agent working on behalf of Vladimir Putin and Russia. And all this went on for two years, and it was reported multiple times a day.<\/p>\n
And every damn bit of it was made up, every bit of it was a lie. There wasn\u2019t one thing truthful about it. Now the attorney general, William Barr, who has acknowledged he thinks the Trump campaign was spied on is gonna investigate it, and what\u2019s the question? Can Barr be trusted with these secrets? Can Barr be trusted? What about Comey? What about Clapper? What about Brennan? What about every one of these people involved at the FBI? What about Obama?<\/p>\n
What do you mean, can Barr be trusted with these secrets? And can Barr be trusted not to cherry-pick the information to make a case for the president? We\u2019ve had two years of dealing with people who were standing the law upside down, two years of dealing with people who could not be trusted. And there wasn\u2019t one question about their honesty or veracity. The media just accepted every lie and every leak that they presented.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APP-050119-Barr-Mueller.jpg\")
And every one of those lies and leaks, or many of them, actually ended up in FISA warrant applications as though they were supporting documents. And Robert Mueller did the same thing. Robert Mueller buttressed his findings with news stories that were nothing more than the result of leaks that Robert Mueller\u2019s team had given to the media.<\/p>\n
Not one question about the honesty of the FBI people that did this. Not one question about the honesty of the intelligence agency people that did this. Just blind acceptance that they thought they were doing what was right and that they somehow got it all wrong, not even a whiff of suspicion about them? But now we\u2019re gonna be looking into who they are and what they did, and we\u2019re asking if the people doing that can be trusted with these secrets?<\/p>\n
And what that means is, “Well, what if they give away intelligence methods? And what if they give away names of agents?\u201d Hey, gang, the damage has been done. The damage to the intelligence gathering, the damage to the reputation of the intelligence apparatus has been done. The damage to the reputation of the FBI has been done. Can Barr be trusted with these secrets?<\/p>\n
Sunday on ABC\u2019s This Week, Martha Raddatz was filling in, talked to Liz Cheney, Republican, Wyoming. Oh! You know this is about the video. This is another thing. That Pelosi video that\u2019s out there, what was it, on YouTube? (interruption) Facebook. It was a Facebook video? Okay. So somebody doctored a Pelosi video to make it look like that she didn\u2019t know what she was talking about, which I\u2019m sure didn\u2019t require much effort. And it supposedly had her slurring her words, which she does. And it has her speaking about things that don\u2019t seem interconnected and related, which she does.<\/p>\n
But apparently this thing was edited. And was posted. And it was out there. And the media, my poor little tech bloggers are devastated that Facebook didn\u2019t take it down. Others did but Facebook didn\u2019t. Twitter left it up, but YouTube took it down or something like that. And just how could this outrage happen, how could fake video of Nancy Pelosi, how can this happen, how could the social media titans not tighten down on it and declassify it and ban it and so forth?<\/p>\n
And I watched this — and I try not to take any of this stuff personally because you can\u2019t. Do you people realize how many doctored videos of me there have been over the years saying things I didn\u2019t say and taking silent video of me sitting here gesticulating and saying that I was making fun of disabled people or what have you. And nobody demanded that it come down, and nobody demanded that the people using it tell the truth about it.<\/p>\n
But here goes one little parody attempt at Nancy Pelosi and the left has a cow and a breakdown. “How could this happen? How could social media not ban this? How could this be allowed to continue?” And yet they have free rein, they have no interruptions, no obstacles whatsoever. They can defame, they can impugn, slander, and libel anybody they want and however they wish to do it on social media.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/LizCheney.png\")
So, anyway, Martha Raddatz is asking Liz Cheney about the Pelosi video that Trump tweeted. And, by the way, I have to tell you, I got the audio of this video. It was sent to me. I think it was last — what would have been? It had to be Thursday. And I didn\u2019t get to it. It didn\u2019t intrigue me. We\u2019ve had enough Pelosi audio that was like that and this just seemed overkill to me. So I didn\u2019t use it.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Liz Cheney\u2019s being asked about it. Question: \u201cThe back and forth this week between Speaker Pelosi and President Trump. The Speaker calls for an intervention with the president, the president attacks back. Is retweeting these videos the right thing to do?”<\/p>\n
CHENEY: What is really, crucially important to remember here is that you had Strzok and Page, who were in charge of launching this investigation, and they were saying things like we must stop this president. We need an insurance policy against this president. That, in my view, when you have people that are in the highest echelons of the law enforcement of this nation saying things like that, that sounds an awful lot like a coup. And it could well be treason.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. That\u2019s a great answer. “But Rush, she was asked about the Pelosi video.” That\u2019s right. She took the occasion of the question to answer what she wanted to say on this show rather than follow the lead of the fill-in host, Martha Raddatz. It was excellent.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: West Sacramento, California. I offered to move there once if they would rename it Limbaugh, California. They refused, but I still went. And this is Ron. Ron, great to have you, sir. How are you?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Fine. Thank you, Rush. You know what? Where\u2019s Bernstein and Woodward and 60 Minutes with this AG report coming out? I mean, do they have any credibility anymore?<\/p>\n
RUSH: With news consumers?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. I mean, you know, these guys were Watergate people. You know, Deep Throat, where are they at? You know, Bernstein and Woodward. I mean, these guys were heroes. Aren\u2019t they? I mean, you know, 60 Minutes —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, you\u2019re asking about Woodward and Bernstein specifically?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, yes. You know, what\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me tell you something. Woodward and Bernstein know damn well there\u2019s never gonna be a repeat of that. You don\u2019t go back to that. You get rid of one president, you call it a day and you move on. To try to repeat that, that\u2019s\u2026 you ever thrown a great party, a Saturday night special, just a spontaneous bash, nobody intended it to happen, a bunch of people come over, you have a great night. It\u2019s so great, you think you\u2019re gonna do it next weekend. The difference is you plan it. It never, ever is as good as the first time around.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/APP-032819-COUP-Against-Trump.jpg\")
These guys aren\u2019t gonna do it. Look. It makes the point. They\u2019re not into it anyway. They\u2019re not. That\u2019s the point. Nobody here is interested in the truth. You can dress this up any way you want. You can ask the question, you can point out like I have, out of how many hundreds of journalists, not one, not one chose to pursue what is the real story here and make a Woodward and Bernstein type of name for them. Not one.<\/p>\n
Every one of them complicit.<\/p>\n
And now, now that they know that they were wrong — but, see, it\u2019s not even a question of that. Phase one failed. Now it\u2019s on to phase two. It\u2019s not that they were wrong. Whether they were right or wrong was irrelevant. Could they do it, was the question. Could they get rid of the president? Could everybody in the Washington establishment, be they in the think tank, be they in the media, be they in the Democrat Party, be they in the deep state, could they come together and get rid of a president? Could they overturn the election results?<\/p>\n
They\u2019re not through trying. Phase one didn\u2019t work. They thought it was gonna work. They thought that Mueller was gonna get the goods. Everything else about this was a lie. Why wouldn\u2019t Mueller come out and close the loop on it? But since that didn\u2019t happen, now they\u2019re on to another phase of trying to make this happen. And that\u2019s why there\u2019s no mea culpa. That\u2019s why there\u2019s no apology. That\u2019s why, “Oops. Sorry. We really got this wrong.” ‘Cause it wasn\u2019t about right or wrong. It was about being Woodward and Bernstein. And they failed.<\/p>\n
But no matter how you slice it, it remains true that there\u2019s not a single one of them that\u2019s interested in the truth. They do not want to report the truth. They don\u2019t want to uncover the truth. They don\u2019t want the truth to be uncovered by Barr, anybody else. They want it suppressed. They do not want the truth of this to ever be known. And yet they say they are journalists and so forth. It\u2019s astounding in its own way.<\/p>\n
But if you look at it not as journalism, but as a political operation, it\u2019s had a number of phases, and they all failed. Phase one was to make sure Trump didn\u2019t get the nomination. Phase two was to make sure Hillary was not indicted, make sure she was exonerated for the criminal activity she did engage in. Phase three was to make sure that Bernie Sanders didn\u2019t get the Democrat nomination. Phase four was to make sure that Hillary Clinton won the presidency.<\/p>\n
Since that didn\u2019t work, phase five was to start the process of getting rid of Donald Trump, and I\u2019m sure they hoped to accomplish that during the transition. I have no doubt that these people had as an objective to make sure Donald Trump was never sworn in. Phase six, he was sworn in, and phase seven was the effort to drive his numbers down to the twenties and thirties so as to be able to succeed with impeachment or driving him from office. That failed.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-011718-Combat-Drive-By-Media-1.jpg\")
Now we\u2019re into phase seven, and phase seven is the going back and forth on impeachment. Phase eight will be the 2020 campaign and so forth. But it is an effort that was begun in 2015, its overriding objective was to get Hillary Clinton elected and to cover up all that was done to make that happen. That\u2019s really what this is about, is covering up all of the shenanigans that were undertaken to see to it Hillary Clinton won.<\/p>\n
And the people involved here were gonna be rewarded handsomely for their work had she won. But they allowed her to engage in criminal activity. They exonerated her from that. They played fast and loose with the law. They lied to FISA judges or the FISA judges are complicit. There\u2019s so much here that they do not want known. So that\u2019s why there\u2019s no journalism on this because there never has been.<\/p>\n
Journalists have never been on the outside looking in trying to find out what\u2019s going on, trying to find out what\u2019s happened. Journalists have been useful accomplices with a role to play in all phases of getting rid of Donald Trump, be that denying the nomination, then screwing up his transition, then making sure Hillary got the presidency, you know the drill.<\/p>\n
So there can\u2019t be another Woodward and Bernstein here because they haven\u2019t accomplished the objective. And this objective will not be accomplished with journalism. It will be accomplished with the illusion of journalism, but journalism is not really what\u2019s going on here. This is a massively coordinated coup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
