This has just got to rip \u2019em apart at NBC News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNBC Polling Data Shows Sanders Voters Are &#8216;Low Information\u2019 And Sanders Voters Aren\u2019t Happy.\u201d Low-information voters are leaving the Democrat Party primary. \u201cAn NBC poll which debuted Sunday on Meet the Press revealed a characteristic about Bernie Sanders (I-VT) voters that wasn\u2019t exactly flattering. It turns out, the less you pay attention to politics, the more likely you are to support the socialist option for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination,\u201d led, of course, by Crazy Bernie.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Todd delivered the bad news to his panel. And people watching this on social media were downright insulted, because what it says is that people who pay the least attention to politics &#8212; i.e., watch NBC News &#8212; people that pay the least bit of attention to the Drive-By Media are more prone to support socialist candidates.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-275068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-053018-Chuck-Todd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-053018-Chuck-Todd.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/APP-053018-Chuck-Todd-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In other words, people that don\u2019t watch a lot, therefore, don\u2019t know a lot, therefore, are low-information voters, happen to be the people propelling the Democrat Party primary race. &#8220;The less you are paying attention, the more likely you are a Bernie Sanders supporter,&#8221; reported F. Chuck Todd, pointing to a Monmouth poll taken recently showing that Sanders is losing ground to both Sleepy Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren is catapulting up. Mayor Pete is trying to raise a lot of money to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>But I just absolutely love this because the media, of course, thinks that their audience is the most informed and the most sophisticated and the most erudite and all of that. And their own poll has revealed &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; they\u2019re the least informed! And the less they know, the more they are inclined to support governments like Cuba, Venezuela and the old Soviet Union.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, speaking of which, if you are too old to remember the, quote, unquote, Soviet Union &#8212; that was an eighties and nineties thing &#8212; if you\u2019re too old, if that\u2019s ancient history, if you weren\u2019t old enough or you weren\u2019t paying attention back then, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/05\/28\/hbos-chernobyl-gets-soviet-communism-right\/\">you really need to watch a series on HBO called Chernobyl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Six parts. Episode 4 I think aired last night or episode 5. It\u2019s coming up on the conclusion. But if you have HBO, you can stream all episodes back-to-back except for the finale I think is next week. I\u2019ve never seen a show that so accurately portrays what the Soviet Union was as this.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s9APLXM9Ei8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s all about the nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl and how it happened, how it shouldn\u2019t have happened, how the Soviets tried to cover it up, how they were incapable of dealing with it, how they had no ability to tell the truth to themselves or their people about anything, about how their people lived.<\/p>\n<p>I almost started crying watching last night\u2019s episode, and I\u2019m not making that up. Last night\u2019s episode &#8212; I don\u2019t even want to tell you this &#8212; last night\u2019s episode, they had to kill every animal within a 250-kilometer or maybe square-mile area of the nuclear plant.<\/p>\n<p>And they recruited people that had never been in the military, had never fired guns, to go shoot pets, to lure people\u2019s pets out of their home. They had to kill them because they were infected, they were radioactive, they had to do it. They had to bury \u2019em in concrete. It had to be done, but they depicted it, which you don\u2019t often see.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not that. I mean, any nation would have had to do that. It\u2019s not that alone that portrays the Soviet Union. The idea that anybody in their right mind could have ever advocated for that system, for that country &#8212; and this is not a political show &#8212; they just do an accurate portrayal of what life was and how the government operated at the time the Chernobyl meltdown happened.<\/p>\n<p>And you sit there, and it\u2019s something you wonder, how can anybody, anybody, think tanker or intellectual, how could anybody of ever advocated for that, particularly in comparison to the United States?<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.
