Google has no ownership rights on the truth. The truth can’s be owned. It can only be told. Google’s grab as the inarguable ‘Truth Teller of the Digital World’ was never too big to fail. Google principals living high on the proverbial hog just don’t seem to get that you can’t tell people what to believe any more than you can tell them what to think.

As far I can tell the world is in a much worse place after eight years of President Obama. China, Russia, Iran and Cuba are stronger. The Middle East is in shambles. Terrorism deaths are higher and the world has a massive refuge crisis. I can think of nowhere that the U.S. is better off today after eight years of Obama, Hillary and Kerry. Isn't it time to give new ideas and a man accomplished throughout the world a chance? Not for the legacy media and its Democrat clients. I remember when George W. Bush was in office and the...

In light of the bombshell Fox News Channel report on Wednesday night about the Clinton Foundation, the liberal media’s shameful cover-up and smearing of the story continued well into Thursday afternoon as MSNBC acknowledged the story but repeatedly chided Fox News perpetuating a story using “anonymous sources” that’s not “corroborated or substantiated.” In just one hour of MSNBC’s afternoon programming, a guest alluded to it twice and was swiftly cut off by host Hallie Jackson with the excuse given being a wrap from her producers to head to commercial break. MSNBC Trashes Fox News Using ‘Anonymous Sources’ in FBI Story on...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Donald Trump is on the stump again today. He was in Jacksonville, Florida, still is. Now, I mentioned at the beginning of the program that we've got a story that is all over our side of the media and is being ignored in the mainstream media. And it is this story of the FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation which has been going on for much, much longer than anybody knew and it's much deeper than anybody knew and it's much further along. They are to the point of withdrawing immunity. Witnesses are at the point of...

With the clock ticking toward Election Day, the mainstream media seems intent on committing ritual suicide by eviscerating the tattered remnants of its credibility. See, thereÂ’s some good news out there if you just look for it.At this writing, it still looks like Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit will convince enough morons to vote for her to defeat Donald Trump, but who the hell knows? The polls are tightening, my book remains eerily prescient, and in Hades they are getting out the mittens. So whatÂ’s next from our disgraced media drones as they face the possible repudiation of every libfascist thing...

You’re probably appalled at the American media’s shameless whoring for Hillary Clinton, asking yourself why they would so thoroughly debase their much-touted journalistic ethics. President Obama has answered that question. As reported by Agence France Presse, during a recent speech in Pittsburgh he postulated: “We are going to have to rebuild within this wild-wild-west-of-information flow some sort of curating function that people agree to. “There has to be, I think, some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some basic truthiness tests and those that we have to discard, because they just don’t have any...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I maintain to you, folks, that they are still paranoid and scared to death of Donald Trump in this campaign. This reaction that they're all having to this is so out of proportion to what he said. All he said was, "We're gonna wait and see." It's a commonsense answer to a question. The Democrat Party fights every attempt to take the rigging out of elections. If you want to go photo ID to vote, who stands in the way of that? The Democrat Party. The Democrat Party does not want photo ID because it's one of...

Say, does anyone remember when Trump was the lightweight with no "policy specifics"? I have an entire chapter in my book, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!, quoting media savants complaining about Trump's lack of "policy specifics," interspersed, by date, with his major policy speeches and papers. At this point, the only "policy specific" Trump hasn't given us is which company will supply rebar for the wall. But now, the media's entire campaign against Trump is to prevent him from talking about policy. They would rather talk about fat-shaming than trade, immigration and jobs. Sometimes, it seems like Trump...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Okay. So our last caller said, "Rush, yeah, Trump won, but I don't think he ever had majority support of the Republican Party. It was divided. That vote was divided many ways. After he won the Republican nomination, he wasn't able to put together a coalition. He wasn't able to unite the Republican Party, much less anybody else, so his support isn't that broad." Well, maybe so, but I'm gonna remind you some things here, folks, that I'm sure you have forgotten. Let me first ask you a question. Do you think Trump has less support from...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I'm serious here, folks. Why is Hillary doing this debate? I just saw a still shot of Hillary getting off the airplane when she arrived in Las Vegas yesterday. She was on the steps. You know, her airplane's a Boeing 737. They have to roll the stairs up to it. She's getting off it, I'm just telling you, she doesn't look like she's gonna look tonight. There's nothing to gain by doing this tonight, right? I mean, it seems to me if you make a calculation, she's got everything in the world to lose here, and how...

How many more broadcast bust-ups will it take before America finally decides to make its presidential election debates tolerable again? I can't take it anymore. Can you? For the past three cycles -- 2008, 2012, and 2016 -- I've chronicled the depressing, systemic bias of left-leaning partisans whom the Commission on Presidential Debates routinely installs as "moderators." It would be one thing if these activists posing as journalists were upfront about their political preferences. But they continue to star in phony debate theater wearing their dime-store costumes of objectivity. The even bigger farce? Masochistic Republican Party bosses let them get...

It was déjà vu all over again to see the champion of allegedly abused women, attorney Gloria Allred, make an appearance with one of Donald Trump’s molestation victims, Summer Zervos: A former contestant on Donald Trump’s reality television show “The Apprentice” spoke out on Friday to accuse the Republican presidential nominee of sexually harassing her when she sought career advice from him after her time on the show. Summer Zervos, who laid out her allegations at a tearful press conference with attorney Gloria Allred on Friday, said Trump pursued unwanted sexual advances toward her when she met with him at...

The Washington Free Beacon noted that former NBC investigative reporter Michael Isikoff insisted NBC News should release the full tape of its interview with Juanita Broaddrick –  “NBC ought to check its archive and run the full interview. (AS long as they’re now culling their archives!)” He added that it was “amazing to watch” Democrats that he saw defend Bill Clinton against his accusers now jump to embrace women accusing Trump. “It’s amazing to watch how D’s who attacked those women are now embracing the Trump accusers, while the Rs who believed them attack them,” Isikoff said. Since Broaddrick attended...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Now, folks, I don't want to be misunderstood. I'm not trying to sound paranoid here. I'm not paranoid. I'm realistic. One of the... I'll be honest with you, and I'm sure this is true for you, too. One of the most frustrating things about life in America today is how seemingly ignorant so many Americans seem to be about what's happening to them. I mean, they're living their lives, they're encountering obstacle after obstacle after obstacle -- be it student loan debt, be it no jobs, be it the rising cost of health care, be it cultural...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, I raised a question when we learned about the woman that Trump said octopused her on the airplane. It turns out her name is Jessica Leeds. It turns out that she said that after dinner in first class, Trump raised the armrest and moved in for the octopus moves. I raised a question based on my memory traveling first class. I don't remember armrests being able to move in first class on the airplane, but I didn't know. It's been a while since I've flown first class. So I asked people out in...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: You get up every day and you start looking around, and everything's unprecedented. Never seen it before. Never been through anything like this before, except that we all think we have. This is topping anything. I think it's establishing my point that we don't have a media, folks. There's no media. And we're so far beyond bias to describe what's going on here, that doesn't even get close to touching it. Anyway, great to have you. We'll wade through the muck here, the agenda. We'll do it as often as necessary, trying to correct the record and...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I actually think... I've been going through some of the emails, Hillary Clinton emails that WikiLeaks has done. You know there are some blockbusters in there? There are some literal bombshells about Hillary Clinton that if her supporters learn of them and believe them, she's going to have problems, particularly if they are some Bernie Sanders supporters that have signed on with her. They're not gonna like what has been released in emails to John Podesta and so forth. I also have -- and I want to get to these today, too. It may take a while....

Last week, Trump held a press conference that Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post called “the greatest trick he ever pulled.” It was quite a show, alright. Promised a “major announcement,” the press showed up with cameras on, only to get the briefest of statements by Trump that (accurately, as it turns out) laid the “birther” story at the feet of the 2008 Clinton campaign – and then be regaled by a passel of high-ranking military endorsing Trump for president. Result? 90 minutes of more “free” coverage for Donald Trump. Boy, was the press pissed. The outraged tweets that followed...

The Sept. 26 issue of Time magazine cover featured the heads of comedians Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Trevor Noah, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel, and the headline "We Joke. You Decide." The allusion to the Fox News tagline was deliberate. The subheadline declared that they would report on "The seriously partisan politics of late-night comedy." Finally, liberals are acknowledging what conservatives have claimed for years. Inside, the headline was "The New Politics of Late Night." And writer Richard Zoglin began the article saying, "In a wild election with a ripe orange target, comics are ditching balance and taking...

The media meltdown we are gobbling popcorn to right now is the result of two key phenomena – we normals have grown tired of the media elite’s lies, and today’s technology allows us to ignore the people who would presume to tell us what we can and cannot know. As the walls collapse around the few remaining information gates and we barbarians bypass them, gatekeeper gigs are becoming as rare as jobs for millennials with masters degrees in Feminist Interpretive Dance. Now you media creeps are finding yourself ignored and irrelevant as America proceeds to do whatever the hell it...
