Rush Limbaugh has a new theory, that whereas the DemLegHump Media were until recently the willing accomplices and lackeys of the Democrat party, now the situation is reversed — the DLH Media are calling the shots, and the Democrats are trailing along as spear-carriers.<\/p>\n

He bases this on the fact that the Democrats have been losing non-Presidential elections so badly and so widely during Obama’s tenure to the point where they have no actual power outside of their political machines in the major metropolitan behavioral sinks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hence any power that the Left has these days is as a result of the control of public information at the hands of — wait for it — the DemLegHump Media. They are the people leading the ‘resistance’ to Trump and his program (if you can call it that), they are the ones constructing the ‘memes’ (which they hope will ‘go viral’), they are the ones composing the ‘talking points’ and determining what spin gets put on the stories that they deem worthy of reporting. In this view, Rachel Madow has more power than Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi.<\/p>\n

It’s an attractive premise.<\/p>\n

This gives added weight to Rush’s famous montages, where he will put together a series of short bites from TV news reports where the presenters each use nearly the exact same phrase over and over again on a certain day to pound home what they hope will be the public impression of something happening in Washington.<\/p>\n

Keep an ear out for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
