As only he could, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh spend large swaths of Wednesday’s program trashing the liberal media and particularly CNN, referring to them as “fools” with “little Jim Acosta” behaving like a cat “chasing the red laser pointer around and bumping into walls and sofa.”

Limbaugh took on CNN from almost the get-go, informing listeners that he’s “sensed a momentum shift, and I continue to see evidence of it” with Tuesday’s White House daily briefing and Sarah Huckabee Sanders holding her ground against Sentinel/Playboy writer Brian Karem.

Blasting CNN for “now making fools of themselves each and every day, as is a large swath of the Drive-By Media,” Limbaugh astutely noted how he’s exposed this going back decades to the point that it’s blatantly obvious the media “have become the organizing power of the American left.”

“The media is now gobsmacked. They are in the process of humiliating themselves every day. They are embarrassing themselves. The latest example, and it’s glaring, is CNN and the three people that had to resign or quit or whatever over the erroneous story filed about a Trump associate working with banks in Russia. This whole Russia story has simply consumed the media, simply consumed them,” he masterfully added.

Limbaugh praised the “fearless” Huckabee Sanders as someone who “cannot be intimidated” based on her trashing of CNN for their retracted Russia story.

“There’s no other Republican White House that would ever deal with this like this. This is earth-shattering, it’s precedent setting. And the press of course, after she said that they started erupting and trying to ask the next question, but she held them off and continued,” Limbaugh explained.

Needless to say, she had to have known how the media would react, as evidenced by Karem having “lost his mind over this.”

As for Jim Acosta, Limbaugh hysterically called out Acosta in the same vein that he previously did to Brian Stelter [emphasis mine]:

And during the Q&A, she opens up with somebody from Breitbart, which also ticked off the media. Our old buddy little Jim Acosta who’s chasing the red laser pointer around and bumping into walls and sofas, he tweeted later (paraphrasing): “This is just unreal. They called on conservatives. They call on conservatives and they won’t call on us. And they call us fake news. Is this America? Is this the Constitution?” Just losing his mind. The Trump White House owns CNN now.

Acosta’s pompousness rings true concerning a subsequent point Rush made, which was that the media have “gotten completely immersed in their supposed constitutionality” and become drunk with power over the press being “specifically mentioned in the First Amendment.”

There were plenty of other things highlighted by the Founders in the First Amendment, but that’s minor details to these people. Limbaugh continued:

And I’ve thought for the longest time these people really do think that they are the singular thing keeping our country together. But what’s happened is they all think that you can’t criticize them. They are so far above and beyond that you can’t criticize them. What they’re doing is too important. They’re simply trying to explain truth to power. They’re trying to hold truthful people accountable, and you can’t criticize them, you can’t, it’s unconstitutional, it’s undermining their precious responsibility.

Later in the show, he put a finger on the media’s true goal, which is to “to destroy Republicans” (and, by extension, impeach Trump):

Let’s face it, there’s a lot of people out there that think the media’s job is to destroy Republicans. A lot of people think the media’s purpose is to destroy Republicans, destroy conservatives, and destroy their ideas and discredit them, that that’s the job. Look at the sycophantic way they dealt with Obama and they claim they’re just trying to do their jobs in there and ask the questions. They’re not doing anything of the sort. It’s being exposed and they don’t know how to deal with it.
