The New York Times has just laid virtually all of talk radio’s 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 O’Reilly 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.

Megyn, it is obvious.
Yeah, I have heard Rush say that crap about not letting the illegals vote for 20 years.
What happens in twenty years, then? The end of America, that’s what.
And it will not take 20 years. All it would take to give tens of millions illegals the right to vote is one liberal federal judge, or the upcoming liberal majority on the Supreme Court.
You are denying what is right in front of you. Christie and Sessions endorsing the same man. Think about it. Trump has already brought thousands of new Republican voters. It ain’t started yet. Cruz wouldn’t carry one state and Rubio would lose like Romney.
If this is a lie then Trump is right about the media and libel ie change the libel law
Cruz is self deportation unless he changed again within the week.
“Megyn, it is obvious.”
Numerous people have read the article and can’t see WTF you are on about. When asked to clarify you come back with a D**K response. No wonder people think your tin foil hat is on too tight.
He’s for not letting them back in. Also Trump is for self deportation too. Did you not hear him the other day?
It’s a combo...you wall up/police the border. You start deportation. You don’t let illegals get jobs (prosecute people who hire illegals). And then many will self deport.
Of course if the wall if effective how do they self deport? I guess we can record their names on the way out and then never let them back in. But Trump will just send them to the end of the line so they can cut, get caught and come back. Which is NOT fair to those waiting in line.
Now if he wants to send them to the end of the line where they stay at the very end of the line until the entire line is processed then maybe that could be ok. Which in essence would be never allowed to come back in because there will always be a line in front of them.

Savage may be the only one who comes out of this intact.
I don’t know. I’ve never listened to Rush Limbaugh’s show, all I know about him is what I read here.
But I read a lot of Dobbs and others. If they were snowing us all along, I can’t forgive that.

I am a 24/7 subscriber (recently) and I emailed Rush.
I wanted to know why there was absolutely NO mention of Rupert Murdoch and his open borders lobby group, no mention of Murdoch’s open support of Marco Rubio, no mention of a Fox VP having a relative high up in the Rubio campaign, and the OBVIOUS pushing of Little Marco by Fox because of these connections.
This is exactly what I would expect Rush to be telling us. He should have told us why Fox is no longer unbiased. Instead, he was all cozy regarding Megyn Kelly (called her a long cool woman in a black dress on the day the Vanity Fair cover came out), and, mostly, started polishing up Little Marco to make his audience accepting of him.
This is getting to be fun.
Cherchez la femme.
Isn’t Rush Limbaugh’s wife a democrat?
What did they get in return?
They get to keep making millions. Everyone has a price.
The New York Times continues to lie.
I have been listening to Rush Limbaugh since 1996. He is not in any kind of group think about any legislation.
He says what HE THINKS about things .. but his opinions are not based on what other talk radio people are saying.
Therefore, the LYING NEW YORK TIMES is having a pipe dream.
And .. anybody who believes the LYING NEW YORK TIMES HAS NEVER, EVER, LISTENED TO RUSH LIMBAUGH.
Night before last I was at a Pro-Life fund raiser, here in Yakima, WA, and she was the speaker.
One of the things that she said was that she was for Trump and that he was going to be the President. Also, she said she was tired of losing and she wanted to WIN.
Yeah, I’m only referring to Rush because I do listen to him a lot and I know he was really negative with the gang of 8. And he supported Cruz for calling out their lies by exposing it via his never allowed citizenship angle he played. Everyone knew it was a poison pill and now it’s disgraceful that people are using that against him. Anyone willing to use Cruz killing the gang of 8 via a poison pill can’t seriously be against amnesty because without Cruz doing that we would have not only amnesty but citizenship for 12 million illegals!
‘And anyone but the most deliberately stupid hack will remember that Limbaugh, Levin, et al OPPOSED the Gang of Eight bill.’
Why did Rush call Rubio a full throated conservative?
I missed where Lou Dobbs s mentioned.
“Why did Rush call Rubio a full throated conservative?”
Obviously because Rush is an open borders leftist. His secret plan is to bring in many more millions of Mexicans and then start simulcasting his show in Spanish so he can double his audience and thereby double his salary. /s
