Rush's death is, indisputably, a tremendously newsworthy event—his life and legacy eminently deserving of discussion.
And yet, incredibly, despicably, during their combined six hours of airtime this morning, neither MSNBC's Morning Joe nor CNN's New Day devoted a single moment to a discussion of Rush's passing. On New Day, the blackout was absolute. The word "Rush" never crossed the lips of any of the hosts, reporters, or guests.
The closest Morning Joe came was to mention that President Trump mentioned Rush's passing when appearing yesterday on a number of TV shows. But as for Scarborough and company themselves actually discussing Rush? Not a word.

The liberal media might try to erase Rush from history, but we will never forget him.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
These are not news channels, they are 100% pure, uncut propaganda networks.
I know what you mean: it is literally hard to believe that over the combined course of 6 hours, MSNBC and CNN this morning didn’t devote a single moment to Rush’s passing.
I was almost hesitant to write this story: not wanting to be caught in a mistake in which Morning Joe or New Day had in fact discussed Rush. But I went through the transcripts more than once, and am 99.9% confident they did not discuss his passing.
True that.
Not to mention their coverage - had they provided any - would have probably been lies. From a summary posted, NBC News with Lester Holt took lines from his show and chopped them up to make them sound like something entirely different from what he was saying.
I don’t have a problem with them ignoring the story. It’s better that than for them to tell us how much of a racist Rush was.
If some drugged-up, wife-beating celebrity lose gets a hangnail.. it’s all over the MSM
Point well taken, but on the other hand, as mentioned in the article:
“Discussing Rush, if even to criticize him, would at least have acknowledged his importance.”
Wouldn’t know a thing about CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and all the other Democrat propaganda media outlets except for what is posted on FR.
The best response to this would be to not give CNN or MSNBC one more second of publicity. Not many people watch them anyway, why try to get people to view their garbage?
Why do people act surprised at any behavior on the Left. Ignore them and their followers. It is about time for us ,the Normal Americans, to cancel the Leftest.
They didn’t even take the time to bash him?
Nope. Total media malpractice.
During his first hour, rush had more listeners than MSNBC had all day
Why don’t you just ignore these idiots and treat them as irrelevant as they are.
Showing true colors once again.
Must not know about Rush Goldstein.
I blacked out MSNBC and CNN years ago, so we’re even.
