<\/p>\nRUSH: There\u2019s a guy at CBS named Jeff Fager. We haven\u2019t talked about this. Leslie Moonves, the CEO of CBS, has been sent packing. Ronan Farrow has claimed another scalp. Frank Sinatra\u2019s daughter with Mia Farrow — uh — sorry — Woody Allen\u2019s son with — what am I thinking here? Woody Allen\u2019s son, not Frank Sinatra\u2019s son, with Mia Farrow. He worked at MSNBC for two weeks and he got the Walter Cronkite journalism of the year award I think after his first two shows in his life. And it didn\u2019t work out, he went back to what he loves best, that\u2019s writing, and he has — I mean, he\u2019s the guy that nailed Harvey, he\u2019s the guy that got rid of Moonves and the #MeToo movement is largely because of Ronan Farrow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leslie Moonves, I\u2019ve been reading a bunch since Moonves was forced out. I didn\u2019t realize, this guy is despised. You know, the tech blogs that I read follow media a lot. And this Moonves guy, and I thought Moonves was loved and adored. I mean, he\u2019s media, he\u2019s Hollywood, CBS, hired Colbert and said at the time he didn\u2019t care, ratings didn\u2019t matter, he just wanted all the buzz. Started CBS All Access. They hate this guy! They despise this guy, literally. And I was stunned.<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard of a website called The Verge, Kraig? I think that\u2019s where I read this, but I\u2019m not sure. No. It might have been Recode Decode, which is part of Vox, used to be part of Wall Street Journal and they didn\u2019t want any more to do with it. It\u2019s one of those two places. And I figured, is this guy a closet Republican? I said that can\u2019t be the case \u2019cause I know Moonves. I\u2019ve run into him at golf tournaments and he\u2019s always giving me the business about the liberal media that he claims doesn\u2019t exist, or claimed doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
Anyway, he\u2019s gone, and he had a golden parachute package of $120 million. They\u2019re withholding it \u2019til after the investigation to find out just how many despicable things to women he did. He may not get any of it. In an effort to get some of it he agreed that $20 million of his golden parachute package would go to the #MeToo movement. Twenty million is gonna go to some organization that deals with women who are abused by high-ranking media executives in the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n
The other guy\u2019s scalp that just got claimed today was Jeff Fager. Jeff Fager runs 60 Minutes and some of the other programs at CBS. And he apparently has been, you know, just as despicable a swordsman as Moonves was and as Weinstein was. You know what I mean by swordsman, Wendy, right? Anyway, he\u2019s gone now. So you look at the number of left-wing Hollywood and television media executives sent packing because of their despicable, disrespectful, filthy, inhuman treatment of women, the irony is lost on these people as they start trashing every conservative they can find.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know, do people realize this? Do people make the connection that all of these abusers of women, rapists of women so forth are liberal Democrat men? Nah. The reason that Moonves is despised, I\u2019ve read further, is they just think he was a lousy CEO. And I guess it didn\u2019t go any further than that. You know, folks, everything today is historical. And by that I mean the media\u2019s literally hyping everything.<\/p>\n
Historically big storms. We have historically low unemployment. And that\u2019s true. We have an historically high stock market. And that\u2019s true. We have an historically high GDP. Oh, it\u2019s close. It\u2019s not 6%, but it\u2019s close. We have historically low ratings for the Miss America Pageant. By the way, do you know when the ratings for the Miss America Pageant in the recent past were their highest? You happen to know, remember when that was, Kraig? That\u2019s when I was a judge. It was back when the pageant was at Planet Hollywood casino out in Las Vegas, and ever since I served as a judge, it\u2019s just gone downhill.<\/p>\n

Gretchen Carlson took over the organization as CEO and promptly said, “This is not gonna be a beauty pageant anymore. No more swimsuits, no more cocktail hour. We\u2019re gonna talk about women and what they think about X, Y, and Z.” And now they\u2019re scratching their heads why the numbers went south. And then the contestants were not happy with what Gretchen Carlson was doing.<\/p>\n
What else do we have? Historically low CNN ratings. And even historically low NFL ratings. It\u2019s interesting, in the NFL, the Sunday afternoon ratings for the NFL were okay. It\u2019s the prime time nighttime numbers which are continuing their fall, their plummet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
