See, this is what Rush has always said. He refuses to go on a liberal network to give his side of the story, because it's going to be twisted anyway. These people do not listen to his show. They don't even read the transcripts on his website. They take what Media Matters reports, takes it out of context, and uses it to smear Rush.
I listen to Rush every day and see the posts others make here about his show. The article which is the subject of this thread was accurate as far as what Rush said and implied.
It is important to remember that Rush and Roger Ailes are big buddies and business partners from way back. One thing Rush wanted to do, and it was evident from what he said Friday, was pump up the ratings for Fox News. I don’t know why Rush is that concerned with the Nielsens or Apple shares for that matter, but he is.
He also has a strange way of praising Trump while at the same time giving him the back of his hand. I still don’t know which candidate Rush prefers. Remember 08 when he somewhat cryptically named Romney as his choice in the Florida primary? Could be be playing some kind of game with his choice this next election?
