Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh has passed away from lung cancer. He was a great American and a national treasure. Before we had the Internet, he was the only source of conservative analysis of current events and a plague on those who wished to take the country in the wrong direction. Strongly criticized by those who didn't listen to him, who formed their opinions based on what his enemies had to say. Following is a round up of early articles on him:

Bryan Preston: The legend of Limbaugh. A little history of Rush. 

J. Christian Adams: Rush Limbaugh Changed America

Stephen Kruiser: Rush Limbaugh's 'No-Yield' Authenticity Won't Be Forgotten

Victoria Taft: Rush Limbaugh was my radio dad

Tammy Bruce: In the 90s I was a host on a talk radio station in LA, the same that aired Rush. I was president of LA NOW, & the liberal wkend host when he visited the station. He was so vilified by my then-crowd, I expected a monster. Instead, I met a remarkable, kind and encouraging man...

Andrew Klavan: Rush’s Monument, Let us all speak, and fearlessly.

Michael Walsh: A great man died today.

Tyler O'Neil: Conservative radio giant Rush Limbaugh passed away on Wednesday. Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, Limbaugh’s wife of eleven years, announced his death on his iconic radio show.

If you can get by the NYT pay wall, a 2008 article. Here's a quote: "Recently, Pew reported that, on a series of “news knowledge questions,” Limbaugh’s “Dittoheads” the defiantly self-mocking term for his faithful, supposedly brainwashed, audience scored higher than NPR listeners." 

And of course the Left is celebrating. 

The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot. Insisting on factual accuracy does not make one an apologist for the protesters. False reporting is never justified, especially to inflate threat and fear levels.

One of Obama’s most consequential acts was to purge the Pentagon of leaders who did not subscribe to a woke, leftist philosophy. Our United States Navy is now a woke institution

Remember the policeman who was killed in the riots in the Capitol? He was laid in state in the rotunda. Even CNN admits he wasn't killed by a fire extinguisher as the media has been reporting for a month now.

Last weekend, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote a piece criticizing the rationale behind the forced ouster of Times reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr., but it was never published. The NY Post got a copy and published it.

Why, it’s as if “the president is abdicating his responsibility by outsourcing education to his benefactors in the unions, all while teenagers continue to take their lives, begging for help the Democrats are dragging their feet to provide.”

The New York Times and other elite media outlets have openly embraced advocacy over reporting.

But meanwhile, federal prosecutors are fanning across the Internet, tracking down and indicting leaders of the mob, which appears to have been far more organized and pre-planned than we thought initially. Every bit of evidence that the rampage was actually a plot undermines the case that Trump’s somewhat ambiguous words shortly before the event are responsible for causing it. You can argue that the rampage was planned or you can argue that Trump caused it. You can’t argue both.

Remember when Joe Biden set out to cure cancer? The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. Tax filings reveal Biden cancer charity spent millions on salaries, zero on research.

The number of COVID deaths is alarming, but look at the bright side: this year, nobody has did from the flu, or old age, or any number of other causes. Studies comparing the total number of deaths in different years don't show an alarming increase, indicating that a lot of deaths are being blamed on COVID that would have happened anyway. Misattribution has been good for the CDC's budget.

There's a new era in the media; called "after Trump", where the rules for reporting the news have changed. Insight from Victor Davis Hanson.

There's a problem with the Democrats plans to make DC a state: it's unconstitutional.

Q: What did you think of Trump? A: I completely disagree with the values that he projects, as a person, in terms of respect, in terms of capacity to listen, accepting diversity. Many of the policy decisions that ended up politicizing this pandemic were wrong, particularly around wearing the mask. But at the same time, I do think that Warp Speed was absolutely visionary to put together science, government, the military, and the private sector and just give us full empowerment. It was the right thing to do. Scroll down to the last two paragraphs for a little politics.
