Donald Trump broke the conservative media

Donald Trump broke the conservative media
Oliver Darcy Aug. 26, 2016, 12:05 PM

"I think that, in retrospect, they really did empower the instruments of their own destruction," Sykes said of the GOP.

One of the chief problems, Sykes said, was that it had become impossible to prove to listeners that Trump was telling falsehoods because over the past several decades, the conservative news media had "basically eliminated any of the referees, the gatekeepers."

"When this is all over, we have to go back. There's got to be a reckoning on all this," Sykes said. "We've created this monster."

"I think the conservative media is the worst thing that has ever happened to the Republican Party on a national level," he said.

"The conservative establishment that needs to be gotten rid of is the conservative media establishment. Sean Hannity needs to go. Bill O'Reilly needs to go. Sadly, Rush Limbaugh needs to go," he said.

Ergo the clown parade the Republicans have become.
I truly cringe at what they may have up their sleeve, beyond the voter suppression efforts and insane hypocrisy.

alt-right wing media Goebbels when their Cheeto Hitler goes down in flames this fall??

It will be all out civil war on the right! The republican fascists will purify their little party so much we can drown it in a bathtub!!

The only thing stopping this from happening now is the election. I can't wait to see the republican suicide squads doing each other in afterwards!

What would be so sad about Limbo's demise? He's a boil on the ass of public discourse in America.

In his pea brain, Trump isn't responsible for the wasteland they now inhabit.

"If in 96 days Trump loses this election, I am pointing the finger directly at people like [House Speaker] Paul Ryan and [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and John McCain and John Kasich and Ted Cruz — if he won't endorse — and Jeb Bush and everybody else that made promises they're not keeping," Hannity exclaimed, later threatening to endorse Ryan's far-right primary challenger.

Problem is, they've been living in a shithole for so long they don't even notice & that's the reality they've tried to create for the rest of us.

"Sadly, Rush Limbaugh needs to go."

Sadly? Good grief! I hope I survive Limbaugh so I can pop a bottle of champagne when that blowhard dies.
