In the opening segment of his radio show Monday, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh unpacked the media's "misinformation campaign" regarding the indictment of Paul Manafort and the Trump-Russia "collusion" narrative. In his analysis of all the media hysteria over Manafort's indictment, Limbaugh stressed that none of the twelve counts brought by special counsel Robert Mueller have anything to do with Trump and reminded his audience that the entire investigation is based off of a Democrat-funded "dirty" dossier that is mostly just "made up."
"What’s happening here, folks, is pretty much what always happens and what has been happening in the Drive-By Media since election night," said Limbaugh. "There is an attempt to misinform the public, the part of the public that gets its news from the Drive-By Media ... Whatever portion of our population that watches or reads or listens to news from that cabal is now under the impression that step one in nailing Trump colluding with Russia has happened because this is the way it’s being reported. Except that is not what has happened."
What has happened, said Limbaugh, is that "in their attempt to overturn the election of 2016 one way or another," the media is yet again furiously trying to make connections to Trump where there are none and desperately trying to draw attention away from the revelations about the politically motivated Trump-Russia dossier.
As what he suggests is evidence that Mueller "and his news media cronies" are actively trying to redirect attention away from revelations about the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee's funding of the dossier, Limbaugh pointed to the "illegal leak" on Friday to CNN that Mueller would soon be issuing indictments:
