The reason I will not inject myself with the mRNA injections for the covid flu is I\u2019ve never seen such a series of lies in my entire life as related to the response to the covid.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-299410\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021119-Bezos.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021119-Bezos.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/APP-021119-Bezos-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve talked to too many doctors and epidemiologists who said there was a radical and complete, utter departure from scientific rigor. There is a changing of words: &#8220;cases&#8221; used to mean people are sick. That no longer meant that. Lockdowns have been known to be worthless for over a hundred years. We\u2019ll get into this more \u2019cause we\u2019ll talk a lot about masks tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s why. I\u2019ve never seen more lies, and I\u2019ve never seen more mockingbird media behavior. All of a sudden, it\u2019s cases, cases, cases. Take a break: Peaceful protest? Those are safe from cases, cases, cases. If you need evidence that that is the dynamic that exists, the Associated Press is ordering &#8212; well, telling &#8212; its members to not use the word &#8220;crisis&#8221; as relates to the border. Right?<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also the ones who issued the diktat. First, it was &#8220;illegal immigrant,&#8221; not &#8220;illegal alien,&#8221; and then it was &#8220;undocumented worker.&#8221; We don\u2019t know that people are working or not. That\u2019s how mockingbird works from the AP. Our friend of the program who\u2019s been with Rush a long time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2021\/mar\/27\/jeff-bezos-his-washington-post-and-the-hitler-diar\/\">Dean Karayanis, known as Koko Junior, has a brilliant piece in the Washington Times.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2021\/mar\/27\/jeff-bezos-his-washington-post-and-the-hitler-diar\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-389598\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-032921-DEAN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-032921-DEAN.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-032921-DEAN-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-Washington-TIMES-TEARAWAY-032921-DEAN-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;Fifty years ago, the Washington Post broke the Watergate Scandal. Now the same paper that gave journalism a finest hour has contributed one of its foulest, falsely reporting that President Trump ordered Georgia\u2019s lead elections investigator to &#8216;find the fraud\u2019 and promising she\u2019d be a &#8216;national hero\u2019 if she did,&#8221; and he goes on to say two months later, they admitted that.<\/p>\n<p>Then he closes the deal (the piece is much longer; it\u2019s linked at RushLimbaugh.com): &#8220;Compare the Post\u2019s handling of this scandal to the way it confronted Janet Cooke. In 1981, she won a Pulitzer Prize for a story about an 8-year-old heroin addict who didn\u2019t exist. When exposed, none other than Bob Woodward, assistant managing editor, admitted &#8216;questions had been raised\u2019 in the newsroom &#8216;about the story not sounding right,'&#8221; and boom! &#8220;Ms. Cooke was out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So Dean is calling for Jeff Bezos to make a similar statement about his Washington Post and this fabricated story. When Bezos bought the Washington Post, Rush predicted he would go after Trump.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: A connection I don\u2019t think we can ignore here is that between Jeff Bezos (who owns Amazon and the Washington Post) and Trump. I remember when Bezos bought the Washington Post, there was a lot of curiosity about it. &#8220;What the hell? I mean, he\u2019s an uber-leftist, and everybody\u2019s known he\u2019s an uber-leftist, and he\u2019s an uber-leftist donor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_5ec67e3897c21a00010758c9\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/5ec67e3897c21a00010758c9.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&amp;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I remember the Washington Post staff, when it was announced that Jeff Bezos of Amazon had bought the paper, they were panicked. &#8220;He\u2019s not a journalist! He has no journalism background. The guy\u2019s a filthy capitalist retailer happens to be a big leftist!&#8221; And they were worried because, as an outsider, Bezos doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos doesn\u2019t know journalism. He\u2019s an outsider. So here\u2019s Bezos owning the Washington Post, which gives him total control (if he wants to exercise it) of the editorial content of the paper. That\u2019s better than any lobbying firm he could have ever bought into or hired. And with the threat here that Trump might pursue him on antitrust, I think there\u2019s a whole dynamic here going on that may be a little bit beneath the surface.<\/p>\n<p>This was on Hannity on the Fox News Channel. This is the Post-and-Bezos thing that I was telling you about. Hannity says, &#8220;The Washington Post announced that they have put twenty people to dig into every single phase of your life. Are you prepared for what\u2019s coming? It\u2019s not &#8216;if\u2019 it\u2019s coming, but &#8216;when\u2019 it\u2019s coming,&#8221; and are you ready for it, Mr. Trump?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Every hour we\u2019re getting calls from reporters from the Washington Post asking ridiculous questions. And I will tell you, this is owned as a toy by Jeff Bezos, who controls Amazon. Amazon is getting away with murder tax-wise. He\u2019s using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don\u2019t tax Amazon like they should be taxed. I would go after him for antitrust, because he\u2019s got a huge antitrust problem because he\u2019s controlling so much. Amazon is controlling so much of what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-270011\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-Trump-Bezos.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-Trump-Bezos.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-Trump-Bezos-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>RUSH: So you see, you cannot remove the Bezos versus Trump subplot from this. &#8216;Cause Bezos could be sitting there saying, &#8220;This fool challenges me?
