BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Audio sound bite time. Last night Charlie Rose speaking with NBC correspondent Katy Tur. Charlie Rose said, "What about the issue of taking on the press?" They're talking about Trump, not about his speech last night or the one the night before. They're talking about Trump's decision to pivot from Crooked Hillary to the Crooked Media. And of course I am a -- well, I'm the primary reason they were discussing this, as you will hear.
TUR: He [Trump] does think it resonates. It does resonate with a strong portion of Donald Trump's supporters and the Republican base. There are not enough people out there who agree with him on this to such a degree that they believe that he is being completely painted unfair. Rush Limbaugh yesterday came on and said that he should back off from the attacks on the press, and Rush Limbaugh has pretty much made his career attacking the press.
ROSE: What was his explanation, the reason he should do that is because it was counterproductive?
TUR: It makes leaders look weak, is what Rush said.
ROSE: That's an interesting Rush Limbaugh insight.
TUR: Yeah.
ROSE: If you're attacking the press, that means you're weak, you should be able to take it. That's what happens at this level of the game.
RUSH: Do you hear these people talking about this like they have no idea that anybody might think that, that it takes me putting it out there? (imitating Rose) "Oh, really? Attacking the media might make somebody look weak? Rush said that? Hmm. Interesting. Wow. We ought to put that in the hopper and think about it. Hmm. Very, very interesting. Rush Limbaugh said that? Wow. Wow. That's an incredible insight that Rush has there."
By the way, I have made my career doing a bunch of things, folks, not primarily attacking the media. I don't attack the media. I just tell you what they're doing and why. I deconstruct 'em.

I saw Charlie Rose at the convention. I swear to you he looked like a cadaver. I also saw Andrea Mitchell and she is tiny and has a big hump on her back.
What does she carry in the hump?

Mentally, I think today’s press is so far behind Hillary that they actually believe they MUST “destroy Trump” to “save the planet, save the children, save the negros, save the environment, save the national security, save [insert favorite cause/latest phrase here] because he is opposing Hillary.
They (first) WANT DESPERATELY to share the “historic moment” of a Hillary presidency. They share her ideology and want to ignore all of her failures because of this ideology, but by now it is so ingrained that “she must be president” that they cannot discuss their biases nor even admit that their biases and prejudices are even a problem!
They’re all such stupid people in the LSM. Which is why the new media is destroying them.
I believe they are all bat sh** crazy.
As for Rush and the topic of this thread, as luck would have it, everytime I decide to give him a listen to see if he’s bringing anything new and insightful to the discussion, I happen upon crap like this. He spent a long chunk of time of a big fat nothingburger.
