I adored Rush. Listened for almost 20 years. Subscribed every year even though I never watched the site. He lost me as a huge fan the weekend a few months ago when an article shared that he had done the bidding of Chuck Schumer and Roger Ailes, to change the content of his show to their satisfaction.
Like everyone else, I waited for the show on Monday. I wondered what he would say. I hoped he’d say that it never happened, that there was no wining and dining, or at the very least he would do a full mea culpa, say he fell prey momentarily to the lure of the social set, something honest.
When he came on, he was so defensive. It was embarrassing. All of a sudden I thought of all the other things that were newsworthy that he never talked about. Why our President doesn’t have his own SS number. Lots of things he refused to talk about. And how horrible it was to hear him return from a break and call all the people who were commenting about how horrible his kissing up to Schumer looked, HATERS. For questioning some disreputable behavior, we were haters??
Rush lost me that day. He is not the man I thought he was.
What are the exact changes that Rush is purported to have
made in his show at the bidding of Schumer & Ailes?
Rush Limbaugh is as rich as Cresus. What sort of “wining
and dining” could Schumer & Ailes possibly offer Rush that
he cannot already buy a thousand times over on his own?
I’ve not agreed with EVERY word that has come out of Rush’s
mouth; he IS still annoyingly correct on a lot of things.
