I\u2019ve had so many emails from those of you who are livid and angry, starting with the Arizona call, and then continuing with other things. And I think that there\u2019s a simple explanation here. There\u2019s a key rule I\u2019ve always believed in media, which is what I\u2019m in. I\u2019m in talk radio. And <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2020\/11\/09\/no-blue-wave-isnt-enough-we-must-stick-with-president-trump\/\">it actually goes back to the William Holden quote here in that movie, The Wild Bunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-372354 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FoxNewsAZCall-e1604519777356.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You do not turn on your base. You do not turn on your audience, unless you\u2019ve had some kind of &#8212; you just don\u2019t &#8212; you don\u2019t do it for the sake of the approval of your enemies. You don\u2019t turn on the people who got you where you are because you would rather be friends with other people. You just don\u2019t do it. And that appears to be what\u2019s happened here.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got Donna Brazile all over the place. We\u2019ve got everybody on a talking head interview, half of them or more are New York Times or Washington Post Democrat media people. The Arizona call. Some even think the Chris Wallace debate think is an anti-Trump move. But, you know, throughout all of this, the media can\u2019t turn talk radio, can they? The media has been desperate to blow up talk radio and Fox News. They\u2019ve wanted to blow up Fox News ever since Fox News was founded and created. And they\u2019ve wanted to blow talk radio up since before that.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve wanted to destroy me and my character and that of anybody else who hosts a talk radio program. Why is it do you think &#8212; it looks like they may be having some success now in blowing up Fox. I mean, you\u2019ve got the wife of one of the Murdoch brothers tweeting out: We did it, we did it, we got rid of Trump, we did it. It was Lachlan Murdoch\u2019s wife. So it looks like they may be succeeding in turning portions of Fox against its base.<\/p>\n<p>Let me tell you something, folks. If the people running Fox succeed in destroying the distinction that Fox has from the rest of the media, they\u2019re gonna destroy Fox. If they are successful in taking away from Fox the things that distinguish it and make it appear different from the rest of the Drive-By Media, what do you think\u2019s gonna happen?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-373066\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Fox.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Fox.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Fox-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/APP-110920-Fox-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The reason they have not been able to do this with talk radio is we do not stab our audience in the back. We do not turn on our base. We remain principled and consistent. From me on down to everybody who does this on the conservative side, we are not apologetic. We do not seek the approval of people that don\u2019t like us. It\u2019s very strange how no one has figured out why it is that talk radio remains powerful, popular, unassailable. It\u2019s not difficult at all, if you know where to look.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Hey, I think I got my Murdoch brothers reversed. It\u2019s James Murdoch\u2019s wife who tweeted: We did it. We did it. We got rid of Trump. I said it was Lachlan\u2019s wife, and I think it was James Murdoch\u2019s wife. Story is that Lachlan Murdoch is conservative. That\u2019s the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: If the people running Fox succeed in destroying the distinction that Fox has from the rest of the media, they\u2019re gonna destroy Fox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":373066,"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 -
