RUSH: Trump has direct access. Trump did not need the media in order to be heard, in order to have his message flavored and formed for proper receipt by the audience. He has direct access. He doesn’t need them. He can go right over their heads. It may be true to say that the Drive-By Media has covered politics, for better or worse, in a predominant way for years and years and years — and that’s the horse-race aspect.
Who’s leading? What do the polls say? Who’s losing? Who’s surprised by who’s winning? Who’s surprised by who’s losing? But it’s the horse-race angle. And that’s completely backfired on ’em. Their primary technique, their primary way of reporting these campaigns and thereby shaping the outcome of them is backfiring totally on them. There is a deep panic, I believe, in the Drive-By Media. Because, in their world, in their mind, they control the horse race.
They are the ones that are the greatest factor in determining how people vote or what they say in polls. And the fact that they are having absolutely zero impact on Donald Trump is blowing their minds. Donald Trump has a more loyal audience than the media has at this point, which is also what this is showing. And it is causing a lot of people in the establishment — the elites, the ruling class, whatever you call ’em both parties, the Washington crowd.
It’s causing them to come unglued and unhinged, while they think it is Trump who is unhinged and coming unglued.
