Rush Limbaugh: MSNBC’s Chuck Todd And Willie Geist Don’t Have Any Journalistic Credibility

Audio
» 45 comments

Rush Limbaugh was fed up hearing about how now President Obama is going to shift his attention towards jobs and the economy. Last time Rush checked, he’s heard about such a “laser-like focus” multiple times, and he took out his aggression on MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and Willie Geist for reporting Obama’s announcement like it was new news they heard for the first time.

Rush wondered:

“How many times has Obama turned the page to the economy? How many times has he focused like a laser on the economy? How many times have these guys reported that’s what Obama has done?”

And Rush declared that “if they had any journalistic credibility, they would be talking about Obama’s incompetence at dealing with jobs and the economy,” rather than Todd and Geist pretending as if they’ve never talked about this before.

Then Rush played a clip of Todd concluding “I don’t think there’s any plan that any President or member of Congress could actually put into place that actually helps, they could just do plans that don’t hurt.” Rush essentially smacked his hand to his forehead and offered his own disappointed conclusion about Todd’s “reporting” saying “and that’s what passes as news.”

    Fat pill heads who like young Dominican boys have no credibility.

    Actually what is sad is that mediate treats What El Rushbo says as “credible” or “news” one of this site’s great failings.

    If you have evidence , call the police . Otherwise ,knock off that liberal Internet garbage .

  • Valerie

    I just called the police “tiny ed putz”-apparently El Fatso has bribed half the DR.

    Honest Truth.

    I mean just look at this guy-he looks like John Wayne Gacy with more hair. You just know he has a closet full of little boys shoes and watches!!!

    His wife is like “i just thought he had a tiny shoe collection.”

    Wow, Rush always has had a lot of chootspah.

    There isn’t a climate change-created heatwave in the Midwest: they just have Rush’s show on.

  • Valerie

     So far this is the best Rush thread EVAH!

    No one thinks this bloated pedophile is credible except insipid insufferable idiotic ditto heads.

    Get the hint mediaite?

  • Phillyfargo

    Typical lib-turd behavior- make stuff up and spread lies. Get a hysterical-ectomy, Val-bag.

  • Phillyfargo

    Stop acting like a lib-turd, you shit-eating-moron.

    ……..or basic humanistic sensibility/credibility, for that matter.

    Yah El Fatso ain’t got none of that!

    Rush is 100 percent dead on. To these liberals Obummer can do no wrong. And they reported as such. Mean while the economy is tanking big time. Nevertheless Obummer is back really hard at work on the campaign for his reelection. God help us, if the same uninformed people make the same mistake. Ron Paul 2012

  • Cmikes

    Typical liberal behavior.  They can’t argue the facts so they have to attack the source.  

  • realheadline

    Have to file this in the ‘DUH’ folder, Rush. Partison hack progressives pretending to be journalists for the sheeple. It’s like Krugman’s “surprise” every time the economy tanks a little more, and these frauds repeat it over and over. At what point do we just stop calling them journalists/economists?     Answer:  About eight months ago.

    Rush is 100% correct, which is why you’ll see nothing but insults and attacks on users.

    Before joining NBC Chuck Todd worked Senator Thomas Harkin (D-IA). His wife (Kristin Denny Todd)  is a long-time Democratic political operative who has worked for John Edwards and other top Democrats. She currently works for a Beltway political agency that exclusively services liberal Democratic politicians, The better the Dems do the more the Todd Family makes.

    Can you say “conflict of interest?”

    When is Rush Limpballs ever going to lose his mystique with you repubs?  He just makes money hand over fist with his crap, and you follow him like little boys–Oh, wait that is what his preference is……

  • qwikinslik

    Facts are facts no matter where they come from and Rush is right this time

  • Anonymous

    Limbaugh makes Liberal heads explode. They have  to resort to ridicule or smears because they can’t argue on facts. For all you libs who are so concerned about children, ask why it has taken so long for Wu, the Dem congressman to resign…what don’t want him to babysit your daughters ?

    ummm…ok…next?

  • HowardNY

    Mediaite — please, enough with the Limbaugh stories. Who cares?

    If anyone wants to know what a drug-addled, fact-averse, venomous windbag thinks about the world, they can listen to him on the radio. There’s nothing he’s ever said that was worthy of repeating here.

  • http://www.facebook.com/bruce.kennedy3 Bruce Kennedy

    Now that is rich a fat drug addicted talk show host is calling someone out for not having any “journalistic credibility”. That is classic. ”Oxycotin” Rush lacks complete ”credibility”. You can’t even use “Oxycotin” Rush in the same sentence, with the word “journalism. Limbaugh is such a joke.

  • ronnie8365

     love it when idiots that have never listened to Rush do their duty, like a good liberal moron does, since Jon Stewart their new Cronkite makes fun of him and tries to make it not cool to listen to him. And since these brain damaged (since liberalisim is a mental disorder) people don’t have a single thought other than what Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell tell them….there is no hope for the lemmings. Since they have been to the indoctrination centers known as Universities and critical thought is not taught anymore only multiculturalisim, Socialist thought and the occasional underwater basket weaving. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the commies.

    Just some more evidence of Rush’s stupidity who keeps his listeners misinformed.

    Leftist media hacks are a sorry lot, and their anguish right now is my joy. The fact that some of the biggest Obamo breast-feeders are near suicidal right now encourages me to scream, “Then DO it, already!!”

    The haughty New York Times is groveling for subscribers using Groupon.

    Damn all Leftist media hacks to hell.

    For ONCE I  agree with this idiot, drug addict, cradle robber OxyRush!

  • Df69807

    I’d love to see some of these leftist stop throwing around the red haring that many of them probably love: Oxycontin.  Grow up, move on, drugs exist, people use them.  What kills me about these people is that they don’t take the time to listen or even read the stories.  ”limp-balls is posted on mediate let me go make a joke about oxy’s and little boys”  The thing about jokes, is that they are typically only funny once, or a handful of times.  I don’t know why I’m trying.  These libs are absolutely hopelesss.  They will just continue to live off the rich and worship the msm.  I wish I could help these people.  I  really do.

    Good info, thanks for posting his background.  I was unaware of his tight connection to the democratic party, but clearly aware of his bias while he “reports” for the network that works directly for Obama.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NK5INRFELITZ3TS337HINC3VMM Adam

    Rush isn’t a reporter or journalist. He’s upfront about his conservative ideology. Todd and Geist on the other hand claim to be professionals yet seem to just regurgitate White House talking points as if they’re gospel. Which was the whole point of Rush’s remarks here. How can any member of the media(even the uberleft) report this latest pivot to jobs with a straight face?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NK5INRFELITZ3TS337HINC3VMM Adam

    Drug-addled? At least Rush was popping painkillers unlike our Commander-in-Chief who used to do blow.

    Obama was a cokehead. Does he have any credibility?

    “…focus like a laser on the economy.”

    But this time he really, really means it.

  • LolaL

    Have your idiot parents apologize for your birth, Rush, you fat, repulsive hypocrite.

  • LolaL

    Rush can always rely on dumb, uneducated dittoheads to spew his nonsense. Come back con when you know how to SPELL properly.

    Typical.

  • LolaL

    Problem with right-wing Republicans is that they love failing themselves and their families, and then use liberals as their scapegoats.
    It’s too bad they weren’t raised to be smarter, better human beings.

    They are so stupid they actually still believe the nonsense that there even is a “liberal media”. To them being to the right of any foam at the mouth fascist is STILL too liberal. Whatever, boys, time to grow up, start using your brains, and stop being cowards who blame their many problems on liberals. Liberals didn’t cause your problems, YOU did. haha.

  • LolaL

    Whatever, Dittohead. You conservatives love being fed nonsense and being PLAYED for fools, huh?

    It’s funny how your own party uses and abuses you because you are too lazy to use your own brains. Grow up already, boy.
