    Limbaugh: Media's aim is to 'go for the jugular' on Trump

    By EDDIE SCARRY • 9/20/16 3:15 PM

    Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed Tuesday that the national media is no longer in the business of reporting news on the 2016 election, and is only interested in pushing a consensus against Republican nominee Donald Trump.

    Pointing to recent criticism of NBC anchor Matt Lauer from his colleagues in the media, Limbaugh said it was an example of the press attempting to tip the scales in Democrat Hillary Clinton's favor.

    "Because, you see, there isn't any media today," said Limbaugh on his show Tuesday. "There isn't any news. The purpose of media today is to keep reporting and reporting until the viewpoint they want you to have, you have it. It's about creating opinion. It's about establishing and creating opinion. It's not about bias, although you can't do that without bias. It's not about lack of objectivity. The media's purpose now is to make and create the opinions that they want people to have."



    Lauer fell under scrutiny from media critics and reporters last week for failing to aggressively challenge Trump during a presidential forum in which Clinton also participated. Some of his critics said Lauer posed tougher questions to Clinton than Trump.

    "The news is: You've got to go for the jugular of the person you don't want to be elected," Limbaugh said. "In this case, Trump. And if you don't do that, and you're in the [drive-by media], if you don't do that, your fellow drive-bys and establishment members are going to savage you."

    They certainly are pulling out all of the stops. Really shows them up for the eleitists that they are. The scribble meaningless c--p, then take cheap shots at someone trying to lead our country back to safety---before the western civilization collapses under onslaughts of opportunists from the "Global South." In 2000, at the UN State of the World Forum, they were talking even then of how people in developing countries would adopt technology quicker than Americans. It's happening, and they intend to use if for their every advantage.

    Anymore the evening news by the major networks sounds like the National Enquirer or the Weekly World News. You can't believe anything they say and what they do say is very sensationalized and exaggerated to the max.

    You're exactly right, Mayday. These "news" people are like a gossip game. They take 3 seconds of something Trump says in an hour-long speech, then gossip about it for 5 days, when IF they had listened to the entire speech or the entire statement, it's very clear what he said, what he was talking about, what he meant, and why he said it.

    It's unbelievable what's going on.

    You are right Mayday! They are 90% fiction writers and they only mix in enough of the truth to make their stories sound feasible.

    I think that this comment by Rush Limbaugh is absolutely genius!

    "Because, you see, there isn't any media today," said Limbaugh on his show Tuesday. "There isn't any news. The purpose of media today is to keep reporting and reporting until the viewpoint they want you to have, you have it. It's about creating opinion. It's about establishing and creating opinion.

    It's called brainwashing.
