The New York Times has just laid virtually all of talk radios top conservative punditry naked to their enemies by revealing a coordinated effort, between them and top DC politicians, to tamp-down opposition to comprehensive immigration reform, and gaslight the national republican audience. A brutal expose
We already knew the aspect of Fox News via Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, Sean Hannity and Bill OReilly meeting with Chuck Schumer, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio capturing promises to deliver favorable opinion for immigration reform. Outlined HERE We also knew, and wrote about how Fox Executives manipulated program content (including the blacklisting of amnesty critics) to support the collective agenda.
However, we did not know how far the scope of the influence was extended, nor did we know Rush Limbaugh was a direct participant. We also did not know that Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin were lobbied to participate.
How would we know? How would anyone know? They never told their audience.
None of the aforementioned pundits ever disclosed the nature or content of the lobbying, nor their own independent determination whether to go along with the agenda, or remain willfully blind thereby benefitting the legislative agenda by omission.
In hindsight we can only accept silence as willful blindness.
However, now we do know, many things make a lot more sense about how reactionary all the conservative pundits were, notably the Fox Group, when candidate Donald Trump announced his immigration platform to include a border wall, deportation and strict enforcement of immigration law. Now we know why most pundits reacted with such disdain.

Bombshell Expose Conservative Radio: Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity and Levin Were All Part of Gang-of-Eight Gaslighting..
Posted this morning already.
I’ve been a broken record, but this explains why Rush has essentially given Rubio a complete pass on his being a member of the Gang of Eight, and calling him a “Full-Throated Conservative.”
I’ve been sitting back listening to his show the past several weeks feeling like I’m in the Twilight Zone, with Rush whitewashing Rubio’s joining Schumer, Durbin and McCain in the Gang of Eight which would’ve destroyed our nation.
I wonder how Rush is going to try and spin this?
Battery Boy,Mark the lover and Sean the middle linebacker are through for me. they set the table for Trump and now they are full frontal establishment. Especially Battery Boy.
What did they get in return?
Things that make ya go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm PING
This title is over 100 characters and had to be shortened.
I checked before I posted it and nothing came up.
Perhaps the title was shortened with the exclusion of other words.
Stead s on FOX is part of the group. He’s trying to blame all his negative reaction to Trump supporters. Doesn’t even consider that his empirical attitude is creating more anti establishment (trump) people.
We are no longer dependent on the talking heads for our opinions. We can and do do our own research.
Ask the Bushes.
Not only “Willful blindness”, it’s “Fatal Blindness.”
Look it up.
What on earth is this trying to say? I listened to rush during this time and he was against the gang of 8!
It will be an interesting show to hear his explanation. I’m not divorcing Rush yet until I hear what he has to say.
He gives Rubio a PASS on his participation.
Haven't really listened to Limbaugh in a few years, so what has happened of late is another story.
Rush is to busy playing a tech for Apple. The biggest story in the 7 years and he becomes Battery Boy.
Hannity on Rubio's amnesty, Jan 2013: Its probably the most thoughtful bill that I have heard heretofore. https://t.co/kJV483Hcvl— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 28, 2016
LOL. Here's your tinfoil chicken, Chicken:
Rush Limbaugh to Rubio on 1/29/13 his amnesty bill: "Well, what you are doing is admirable and noteworthy...." https://t.co/64aXNNKECM— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 28, 2016
Can anyone point to anything Levin has said without cutting and pasting his words to indicate he might approve of any sort of legalization of wetbacks and stayovers? Conservative Treehouse is more and more looking like treehouse screwballs to me.
