Radio host Rush Limbaugh made a rare television appearance this morning on Fox News Sunday. During the interview, Chris Wallace had a “lightning round” where Rush was asked to appraise several of the Presidential candidates. Check out his assessment of Sen. Ted Cruz:

Who, pray tell, is FNC’s ‘guy’?

Well, based solely upon the “cutting outs” during the FoxNews Sunday 6pm Eastern showing, I’d say the duplicitous, lying, despicable Amnesty & Open Borders Pimp Marco Rubio.

At the beginning of that Fox News Sunday showing yesterday, they were covering “Breaking News” out of Brussels. During THAT coverage, they said something to the effect of “We’re now going to leave to go to an important interview with Marco Rubio” on Fox News Sunday and they went there to show Chris Wallace’s softball interview with Rubio. Later in the show when Rush Limbaugh’s interview was being shown (and they were at the point where Rush’s praise of Ted Cruz was about to happen) they SUDDENLY broke away to go back to “breaking news”. The only thing was that there was absolutely no breaking news and the FNC news announcer seemed at a loss for words.

I watched 8:00 a.m. MST, Fox 31 Denver, and it wasn’t cut.

Maybe the 12:00 MST Fox News replay?

Were you watching?

No. I saw a thread on FR that stated "Fox News cuts away during Limbaugh glowing assessment of Ted Cruz!"

I followed the link to the site listed and see a headline that states, "Check out Rush Limbaugh's Assessment of Ted Cruz!". That link has a video that shows Limbaugh's assessment of Ted Cruz. Period. I don't doubt that Fox cut away mid-sentence from Limbaugh but there is nothing to indicate that at the website linked to.

I have the impression Rush is mostly for Trump. I think they are already friends and golf together.

I think a part of Trump doing so well in the race is he is already buddies with Rush and Hannity - and perhaps Levin too. At least with Rush and Hannity their shows seem to be Donald Trump infomercials (especially Hannity).

We didn't have the cut out where I live, I saw the whole interview.

I've seen FOX give equal time to all the candidates.

Now that's the video I expected to see when clicking on the link presented by the OP.

Cruz will burn through the MSM blackout. Conservatives will find him, rally and put him up next to Trump.

Then we can decide between Great and Tremendous.

Everyone please remember that the two liberal, lefty, 40-ish sons of Rupert Murdoch are now several months into the day-to-day management and operation of Fox news and other Murdoch holdings.

We're witnessing the network's producers, news readers, pundits and/or other regulars taking decided turns to the left, no doubt to please their new masters...plus the number of glib commie, socialist, radical, anti-American and propagandist guests and panel members is intensifying.

Keep this in mind every time you want to throw a shoe into your TV set watching the network's anti-Trump/anti-Cruz/anti-anybody-conservative methodically grinding away 24/7.

I don’t see Rush as cheering for Trump anything beyond what is obvious. The gop-e is fit to be tied about the outsiders. Trump is getting the conservative position out there and it is gaining popularity. He is the talking point. It cannot be ignored. I think many of us would rather have Cruz. They all stipulate and report on trumps past. But Trump is the story. He’s breaking all the political rules and it is working, just as FReepers and the radio guys said it would if only someone had the courage and conviction. He in unabashedly stating truth about current events. This is new and refreshing. Cruz does the same but isn’t quite getting the press yet. If Cruz were to get more controversial, it would likely help him too.

Fox aired Rush’s full comments on Cruz when I listed to it at 9am on Fox5 DC. and then on Fox News Channel at 2pm.

Rush said that the ‘breaking news’ was during the third playing of his interview at 6pm (actually about 6:30)

Thus no ‘fox conspiracy” to keep Rush’s laudatory comments about Cruz.

A caller to Rush's radio show just now at the close of the first hour asked him to repeat what he said about Cruz. Evidently only the 6:00 PM ET replay yesterday omitted his original response. Rush read from the show transcript verbatim. The folks in the Houston office of the Cruz campaign must be ecstatic!
WALLACE: "Ted Cruz."

LIMBAUGH: "Brilliant, and conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend."

What I want to know is what Rush thinks of Cruz’s hair? ;-)

I don't think so. Trump is a major news maker, and Rush capitalizes on that. But when comparing Rush's praise of Trump verse Cruz, his praise of Cruz is greater.

Instead of throwing anything, turn it OFF.

Ditto in San Antonio - I saw no video shenanigans of any sort.

Well it was Yebbie, but of late they’re pushing the Cabana Boy, because they know that Boosh is toast!
