I have found, when talking to people, including media people in the East Coast, New York &#8212; well, all the way up and down the East Coast, but New York &#8212; Washington, Boston, down here in south Florida and so forth, virtually everybody thinks of Fox News as a conservative network. But you go out&#8230; As I\u2019ve traveled around and go places&#8230; Like for the holidays, I see people in Missouri. For Christmas, I see people all over the place. When I golf, I see people all over the country.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117014\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-27-at-1.35.15-PM_large.png\" align=\"right\" \/><br \/>\nAnd I\u2019m here to tell you: Fox News is not considered the conservative network that it used to be. I\u2019m not trying to stir anything up here. I\u2019m saying that when you hear the media, who are all leftists, talk about Fox News, it may as well be the John Birch Society as far as they\u2019re concerned. That\u2019s why they hate it. It may as well be the Birchers. It may as well be whatever evil right-wing organization. That\u2019s what they think it is. But you go out to the heartland of this country, and it\u2019s not so much. &#8220;I mean, what would a conservative network be doing giving time to Michael Moore?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why would New York Times and Washington Post reporters be on the air to give opinions on a conservative network?&#8221; This is what people are saying out there that I hear. Now, the identity is still pretty obviously heavily tilted to news and analysis that you don\u2019t get anywhere else, and that remains true. I\u2019m just telling you people\u2019s perceptions as they share them with me. I\u2019ll tell you what I think, \u2019cause I find it amazing. It\u2019s just more evidence of the media being out of touch and not really knowing what people say.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_117041\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushTruth_FoxNewsLogo.jpg\" alt=\"original\" align=\"middle\" \/><br \/>\nSince we\u2019re talking about Iowa, I don\u2019t think they really know what\u2019s important to the people of Iowa. Because they look at everything through their own prism of being in the Northeast and part of the liberal power structure that determines every social, political structure in that part of the country &#8212; and, as such, there\u2019s a divide. And it\u2019s not just among elected officials. I speak constantly about the disconnect that exists now between elected officials and the people, Republican and Democrat<\/p>\n<p>The distances, the disconnect between the people who vote for them and the people that serve in office is bigger than I\u2019ve ever seen it. And it\u2019s no more obvious than the issue of immigration. But it\u2019s also obvious on the issue of say, Obamacare, or spending. And when you start talking about Fox News, people in the media say, &#8220;Oh, it\u2019s just embarrassing. Right wing! My God, ugh.&#8221; But it\u2019s not thought of that way in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, I want to let you in on another observation of mine &#8212; and that\u2019s all it is, is an observation.
