“There is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it. You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic.”
"I explained how severe weather events are opportunities for big ratings boosts in the media and explained how it happens," he said. "I explained how severe weather events impact retailers and how some retailers are smart enough to coordinate advertising with television stations. It happens!"
Rush when Irma is knocking at his door:
"May as well announce this. I'm not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow," Limbaugh said on his Thursday radio show. "We'll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown."
Rush flees.
After spending last week ranting and opining about how hurricane media coverage is a left-wing hoax hatched by climate change liberals, media in search of ratings and retail stores seeking profits from panicked shoppers, Limbaugh packed his bags and left his Palm Beach, Florida residence -- and radio studio -- in a NYC second.
Rush's middle finger to his audience.
Rush displayed total disdain and disregard for his listeners by telling them, at their peril, to ignore hurricane warnings by media: he essentially called Hurricane Irma coverage fake news.
Sometimes his incessant blabbering is just background news -- particularly now that Rush is more than a decade past his "hey day" of conservative relevance -- but with his massive following from the over 65 year old ditto heads in states like Florida, his fake news proclamation perilously dangerous.
There oughta be a law against this reckless speech.
