RUSH: Look at me, ladies and gentlemen. One moment, I, your host, am toast. One moment, the news about me is that I\u2019m hemorrhaging sponsors, hemorrhaging audience, that talk radio itself is dead. It\u2019s over; I\u2019m a has-been. And then the next day, like today, I am the single most powerful person running the media and influencing what Fox News does. Every day, it\u2019s one version of that story or the other. Today what happened, it was over on MSNBC — and, Cookie, don\u2019t get mad at me, because this was not a sound bite. She gets mad when I don\u2019t lift the embargo. <\/p>\n

Cookie would love to be able to give me MSNBC bites \u2019cause they\u2019re good liberal kookery, quackery, whatever. But I don\u2019t want them \u2019cause I don\u2019t want to publicize \u2019em and promote \u2019em. So I\u2019ve got this ongoing ban, and I occasionally lift it. But on the Scarborough show today over there on PMSNBC, they had this guy from the New York Times named Nick Confessore or Nick Confessore or Nick Confessore. I don\u2019t know how he pronounces it. He purposely mispronounced my name. I\u2019m trying to get his name. It\u2019s C-o-n-f-e-s-s-o-r-e. Nick Confessore, Nick Confessore. <\/p>\n

Anyway, this guy was asked a question by Mika Brzezinski. The question was, “Who is the most powerful person in the media today?” And this guy at the New York Times said, “Well, I think Fox or Rush Limbaugh,” although he pronounced it “limb-bow.” That had to be on purpose. These guys, after 27 years, they have to know by now. But he said (summarized), “It\u2019s Fox or Rush Limbow, right, in this primary, right? <\/p>\n

“I mean, there are two institutions that could have put a stop to Trump — Rush Limbaugh and Fox — and talk radio likes him, and Fox backed down.” So this guy is saying that I, your host — who one day am finished, it\u2019s over, sayonara, see you later, talk radio\u2019s dead, may as well forget about it — today am the most powerful guy in the media, forcing Fox to back down on Trump. And they believe it! This guy\u2019s on MSNBC today saying it; he believes it. <\/line><\/p>\n

And there was a guy from the Huffing and Puffington Post named Sam Stein who seconded this point of view. Mika Brzezinski told \u2019em that they\u2019re both wrong. She said that Trump is the most powerful person in media, but that\u2019s not what the question was. The question: “Who is the most powerful media person?” And Trump is not a media person. Of course, he\u2019s a builder and who knows whatever else. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
