Reid: Tucker Is Doing What Rush Limbaugh Used to Do

RUSH EXCERPT:

REID: “The thing, is you know, Fox News, you know, roger — what Rupert Murdoch sort of discovered, it’s really literally no different than what Rush Limbaugh used to do to be honest and I used to listen to rush limb bock when I was doing talk radio because he was top of the craft. You want to listen to see what he does. It is a tactic if your audience as you point out in your piece, this is a 22% white audience, an oldest audience, the oldest audience in cable news out of the three cable news networks and if you’re — if that’s who you’re talking to, what rush used to do, you know, his shows were on all these little rural stations all over the country and he was constantly feeding that very white, largely rural audience constant nervousness, you know, constant sense that you’re being besieged, that black people are coming for you, the brown people are coming for you. The immigrants are coming for you and are taking your stuff would sort of boil down. That’s what his message was, whether it was women and feminists, that everyone is taking from you. Roger ales and Rupert Murdoch just did that on fox, too. What is Tucker doing that’s different from what rupert set up, what Rupert Murdoch set up, because I feel like that’s been the a trajectory the whole time. You report that had Tucker is doing something different. What is that or what is the difference?”
