RUSH: There\u2019s a new poll out, a CNN poll. They are not happy reporting this poll. The upshot of the CNN poll is more than two-thirds of the American people are happy with the economy. (impression) “That… that… that… that…” They got a problem. They\u2019ve got to do something about that at CNN. They\u2019ve been trying to do something about that and they\u2019re obviously failing. Two-thirds happy with the economy.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:\u00a0So, CNN has a poll: Two-thirds of the American people are very happy with the economy. And then here is a story from the Millennial website called Axios, and this headline is a big win for Trump. It\u2019s a poll from the Pew Research Center. “Americans View Fake News as a Bigger Problem Than Terrorism.”<\/a> Holy smokes! Fake News, according to the Pew…” I love the way Axios writes. Axios does this new Millennial kind of journalism. They\u2019ll give you a paragraph of so-called information, then the next paragraph is called, “Why it matters,” then the next paragraph is “What it means.”<\/p>\n

And then the next paragraph: “Why you should care,” then the next paragraph: “What you should do.” So the first paragraph: “Americans view made-up news and information as a bigger problem than other critical issues, including terrorism, immigration, climate change…” Oh-ho-ho-ho! It\u2019s even bigger! Fake news is an even “bigger problem … than climate change.” Do you realize the Drive-Bys are gonna see this, and what they see is utter failure of their agenda to persuade a majority of the Americans?<\/p>\n

And they are the purveyors of fake news.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>‘And guess what? Who invented the term? Who? Who invented the term “fake news”? Why, that\u2019s right. Donaldus Trump. Donald Trump invented the term “fake news,” and still uses it to this day when talking about the New York Times or CNN. So global warming\u2019s gonna kill us in 12 years…? Oh! Speaking of which, there\u2019s a new global warming story out says if we don\u2019t act by 2050, we\u2019re toast. But wait! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and that group are telling us we\u2019ve only got 12 years.<\/p>\n

She was “kidding.”<\/p>\n

Oh, that\u2019s right!<\/p>\n

They were not to take her literally. She was joking. We were confusing her with Drive-By, late-night comedians (ahem) which don\u2019t do comedy anymore, they do hate. Do you realize that? Do you realize late-night comedy shows are now late-night hate shows and they are designed to get the biggest applause for the most hate? It\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s something I have been noting here for years. Ever since Colbert was hired by CBS, the die was cast. Hate for Trump. Hate for conservatives. That\u2019s what late nice day comedy has become.<\/p>\n

Anyway, now, the next paragraph from Axios, “Why it matters…” I can just see these little Millennials out there reading this stuff. “Why it matters” is their favorite paragraph of the story. “The survey finds that Americans feel more worried today about fake news because it\u2019s undermining their trust in key institutions, like government and the media.” (chuckles) That\u2019s “Why this matters… The only issues that rank higher than made-up news and information as ‘very big problems in the country today\u2019 are drug addiction, the affordability of health care, the U.S. political system, and the income gap.”<\/p>\n

\"\"But nowhere in there is terrorism, climate change, racism, transgenderism, use-the-bathroom-you-wantism. Not there. Next paragraph: “By the numbers: An overwhelming majority of Americans (68%) believe made-up news and information has a big impact on their trust in government…” Next paragraph: “Between the lines…” Now, the “Between the lines” paragraph is what it really means!(impression) What only we at Axios know in this — and if we didn\u2019t put this paragraph here, you readers are too stupid to ever figure it out.<\/p>\n

“Between the lines: While most Americans blame political leaders and activist groups for creating misinformation over journalists, most say ‘the news media\u2019 is the most responsible for fixing the problem.” No, it doesn\u2019t say this. That\u2019s what… “Between the lines: While most Americans blame political leaders and activist groups for creating” fake news…<\/p>\n

(laughing) No, they don\u2019t! (laughing) And then this thing goes on to say they\u2019re looking to journalists to fix it. That is the last thing that\u2019s happening. Anyway, it\u2019s a great… It\u2019s another winner headline for Trump. I don\u2019t mean that it\u2019s gonna get votes. It\u2019s just that Trump is the one that\u2019s criticizing news as fake news. He\u2019s made it a thing! Trump has made fake news a thing, and now Americans view it as a bigger problem than terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
