I serious doubt that Mark, Rush & Sean take marching orders from the RNC, as all three are quite vocal about the either ineptitude or corruption of the RNC. I personally think this is fake only because they do not give a single scintilla of reference as to where or when he is speaking.
I disagree.
They all have their social and business lives tied very tight with the Republican Party. Karl Rove and Ronna Romney let the lease out every once in a while, thus throwing a bone to the listeners, but they know full well the boundaries of what they can and cannot say.
The critical thing is not what they do say, it’s what they DO NOT SAY that matters. Same with fox.
Even on the days they do let something slip, it gets buried very quickly or if they have to they will ‘explain’ themselves to the listeners.
It was a long time ago but do you remember when Rush said “I am not going to carry the water for the Republican Party any more”? What does that tell you?
I could go on but just take note of the critical information these guys and gals fail to tell you. Over time I think you will see what I mean.
They have but one purpose: to make sure as many as possible pull the ‘R’ lever come election day. Everything they do, say, fail to do, or fail to mention, is geared toward that end.
But they are sensitive to being media slammed.
Rush talked openly about doubts about the death of Vince Foster until he was slammed by some leftist media group with a full page in the NYT for repeating a "rumor" that originated from (Democrat) Senator Moynihan's office. (The fact that he reported that it was just a rumor within a half hour of first mentioning it notwithstanding.)
I met Hannity once and asked him why he never discussed Vince Foster's death. He told me it "wasn't a career enhancing move."
