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.

Needs to be posted over and over again. I succinctly remember Hannity disassembling on this issue for almost a year.
Rush has always said fine, if you want to let illegals come here, then they can’t vote for 20 years. And his guy is Cruz so I’m not sure where he stands in all of this. I stopped listening to Levin a long time ago, couldn’t stand his constant yelling at everyone and I stopped watching FOX after the Megyn debacle, and even Dana Perino screeching at Eric Bolling about Trump on The Five.
Laura Ingraham, however, appears not to have caved since I have heard her speak strongly against amnesty and illegal aliens.
Mark got his brains caught in his zipper of late. Mark’s in love. He is way off his game. He is one step away from Beck. All three of these guys forgot who they came to the dance with.
They'll be so dismayed to hear that, Lena. Have some more Conspiracy Cake:
So many revelations, in this campaign.
25 year truth....FR can’t handle this talk though...too many Political Newbies or die hard suck ups.....or actually Republican Operatives....It’s a lost cause for many simps on here....Talk radio died years ago, Fox has been dead for years....Newspapers are extinct and magazines...Just use your head peoples.
All these groups left us for the big bucks. Levin not so much he is in love.
How surprising./s
Hillary will beat Trump.
She already has the 40 to 45% of the vote that will go democrat no matter what..
She will have media support. The Fox News Channel all of you hate will be the only people against her.
All of you Trumpettes will crawl back to Rush and Levin.
Trump is despised by everyone except his disciples. New damning information comes out on him every day and you can believe Hillary will use it.
A lot of people who can’t stand either one of them will opt out of voting.
Hillary will be in.
“What on earth is this trying to say? I listened to rush during this time and he was against the gang of 8!”
Not exactly: Rush proposed a “make them legal, but they can’t vote” ploy, which he knows was Amnesty, any way you cut it.
Oh, that is NASTY!
The old grey leftist lady reports it and we're supposed to take this at face value?
When did left become right and down up?
“All of you Trumpettes will crawl back to Rush and levin”
Drop dead.
Are you sure you listen?
Hillary will beat Trump.
She already has the 40 to 45% of the vote that will go democrat no matter what..
She will have media support. The Fox News Channel all of you hate will be the only people against her.
You will be crawling back to Rush and Levin begging them to love you again.
Trump is despised by everyone except his disciples. New damning information comes out on him every day and you can believe Hillary will use it.

Hillary will be in.
25 thousand Trumpettes are waiting to hear him in Alabama. Going back to those three losers never. Rush big sports guy turns into Battery Boy. He is old.
