tens of millions of listeners and they still act as if he never existed

AM radio would not have any English broadcasts today if Rush hadn’t made talk radio a viable format.

neither MSNBC's Morning Joe nor CNN's New Day devoted a single moment to a discussion of Rush's passing.

Best they keep their mouths shut than hear their typical lies about him.......

Every one of these media scum got their positions via pull, quotas and the “buddy system.” Of course they are jealous of someone who earned his place.

It’s amazing how there’s wall to wall coverage and eulogies of the deaths of some of the overdosed Hollywood “celebrities,” but so little about the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Red Skelton, Sister Theresa or Shirley Temple Black.

A very sad commentary indeed . . .

“Here's that famous example of Soviet airbrushing, in which someone was made a non-person. The liberal media would like to erase OVER HALF THIS COUNTRY in similar fashion”

It was the most respectful thing they could have done. Had they mentioned it, the hosts would have sneered, jeered, and shown delight at his passing. The viewers would have cheered.

But if some, no-name, unknown movie producer in California, who made some indie flick about racism or “climate change”, they would have spent 10 minutes talking about what great contributions the person made to the world.

This makes me sick.

Lester Holt last night said Rush was “controversial”. WTH??

Better they black it out than trash him.

I notice that those illegitimate piles of rotting dogsqueezins, Joek and The Whore, didn’t have any sort of word at all for Rush Limbaugh...

I accidentally caught ABC's news last night. Their report of his death included ONLY the bad moments of his life.
Drug addiction.
Hearing loss.
ESPN firing.

Full of LIES even doing that.

Pelosi didn’t seem to pay attention when
Rush was honored by President Trump. She shuffled papers. Low class and evil, the Dem party

Lester “The Dolt” Holt is a vile POS propagandist.

I told my wife yesterday that the left will be holding drunken parties last night all over the nation. I fully expect they were toasting themselves now that OUR VOICE is gone. I am surely as hell going to miss Brother Rush. I pray he is now without pain in Heaven with our LORD. Rush said he believed in our LORD and I believe him. We have truly lost our “voice.” There will never be another Rush.

By now, fellow-Freepers, I would have thought you would know better than to expect anything else. It’s as if you weren’t listening all those years when the Maha Rushie was trying to enlighten you.

I understand the sentiment, but the unfortunate fact is that they are not irrelevant. The way they twist and shape the news has a major impact, as seen in the 2020 election results.

And though FReepers often suggest that they have very small audiences, that is not so. Morning Joe, for example, has more than 1 million daily viewers on average. And in general, MSNBC and CNN have enjoyed pretty decent ratings of late, though they have dropped off after the election.

So at NewsBusters, we believe it is worthwhile to track and expose liberal media bias.

Fox has really stepped up in this case, thank God. Almost constant tributes for Rush since his death.
