I want you to listen. This is Bari Weiss. This is the former op-ed editor, New York Times, who quit. She quit the New York Times because they\u2019ve gone crazy over there. She was on Bill Maher HBO on Friday night. And his question was: You said that Twitter is not on the masthead of the New York Times, but Twitter has become its ultimate editor. What the hell do you mean by that?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-358652\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-080320-Bari-Weiss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-080320-Bari-Weiss.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-080320-Bari-Weiss-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/APP-080320-Bari-Weiss-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>WEISS: In order to do our job well, writers and editors, we need to have a level of bravery and thick skin and fearlessness. And when you are living in fear of an online mob, you know, all it takes is a dozen people to repeat a lie about you that you\u2019re a racist, that you\u2019re a transphobe, that you\u2019re a bigot for that lie to become true. And that\u2019s extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The reason I want you to hear that is because she is affirming what I have been telling you since Twitter began. Remember the original Stop Rush movement, the attempted boycott of advertisers? It was 10 people. We found them. We could name them with their home addresses and where they live. We doxed \u2019em internally. And we found out that they were using bots to make themselves look like hundreds of thousands of listeners to this program.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-281119 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-022218-Limbaugh-Echo-ADJUSTED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-022218-Limbaugh-Echo-ADJUSTED.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/APP-022218-Limbaugh-Echo-ADJUSTED-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re largely 65 years of age and older retired college professors.

Now, they failed with me because Twitter didn\u2019t make me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is Bari Weiss.
