I know all about Rush’s obsession with Apple and his tech blogs. I’ve been listening to Rush since 1991.
My husband and I own several Apple products, including iPhones. However, I don’t tune into Rush’s show every day to hear about football, golf or Apple. If it’s a little here and there, fine, I’ll give him a pass.
Now, at least, it’s about a national important issue relating to Apple.
Yes, I’m aware of the national Apple story, and I don’t blame Rush for discussing it within reason. However Rush does this thing with his true passions: 1) Football and 2) Apple where he slips into this lazy mode, as he did months ago with “DeflateGate”. He’ll beat the story to a bloody pulp, and start mailing it in. You can tell he takes callers who want to continue to talk football/Apple, too.
When he should get back to discussing politics, he refuses to get off the football/Apple nonsense, and starts saying the same thing over and over again, ie: “the blue bubbles on the iPhone are encrypted... the green bubbles aren’t...” I swear I heard that phrase 10 times over the past few days.
I shut the radio off at about 1:20pm ET, so I don’t know how the rest of the show went. I’ll bet at the end of today’s show he said something like: “Darn! I didn’t have time to get to everything in my Stack of Stuff!”
Can’t imagine how that happened...

Love your comment...spot on!
Rush spent his entire show last Friday discussing the importance of the SC Primary, and some bogus poll showing Cruz tied with Trump. Flash forward to yesterday’s show...He didn’t want to go near the SC primary with a ten foot poll in any meaningful way! He also didn’t want to discuss that bogus poll he was touting...at least when I was listening.
Yesterday’s show was nothing more than good old El Rushbo desperately trying to change the subject about Cruz’s devastating loss in SC! If Cruz had won SC, Rush would’ve breathlessly been telling us the great significance of this win. But since Trump won in epic fashion, Rush decided the Apple Phone issue was of greater importance.
Hey Rush, Trump supporters had a huge “I Told You So” moment on Sunday! :-D
I don't think he was trying to change the subject from politics to Apple. He wanted to talk about Apple and boast about his expertise on the subject for the majority of yesterday's show.
I listen to Rush all the time (except for those rare exceptions when he blabs on and on about football and Apple). I have to say I haven't heard any bias from him re Trump, Cruz or Rubio. Rush has mentioned several time over the years that he often plays golf at Trump resorts, and that Donald Trump is a good friend of his...
