Thirty years ago today, Rush Limbaugh's nationally syndicated radio show launched what would become the conservative media revolution that ultimately helped elect Donald Trump twice. Yet as patriots across America commemorate this historic anniversary, Fox News has disgracefully failed to mention it anywhere on their homepage.
The silence from Fox News speaks volumes about how far the network has drifted from its conservative roots. While everyday Americans remember Rush's fearless battles against the liberal establishment, Fox apparently finds other stories more worthy of their attention.
Rush Limbaugh didn't just start a radio show on January 30, 1996 – he launched a movement that gave voice to millions of forgotten Americans who were tired of being lectured by liberal elites in the mainstream media. For three decades, conservative talk radio has been the backbone of the America First movement, paving the way for President Trump's historic victories.
The Deep State's War on Conservative Voices
This snub by Fox News comes as no surprise to those who've watched the network's gradual slide toward establishment groupthink. Remember how they called Arizona early for Biden in 2020? Remember their treatment of Trump during the primaries? The pattern is clear.
Rush understood what Fox News leadership apparently doesn't: that real Americans are hungry for truth, not sanitized talking points approved by the Washington swamp. He built an empire by speaking directly to patriots who love this country and refuse to apologize for it.
While the legacy media continues to gaslight Americans about everything from the economy to the border crisis, Rush's legacy lives on through President Trump's second term and the thriving ecosystem of conservative media that refuses to bow to the establishment.
Today's conservative media – from independent podcasters to networks like Next News Network – carries forward Rush's mission of bypassing the gatekeepers and speaking truth directly to We the People. That's something no establishment network, including Fox, can ever take away from us.
Rush would be proud to see President Trump back in the White House, dismantling the deep state and putting America First once again. Too bad Fox News can't be bothered to remember where this movement started.
