Monday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh dismissed claims that NBC Sports’ Al Michaels’ remarks a night earlier about the New York Giants having a worse week than embattled Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein were controversial. Limbaugh argued any controversy had been derived from Twitter, which he described to be a “cacophony of crap.” Transcript as follows (courtesy of RushLimbaugh.com): Seriously, you know what Twitter is? Twitter is a cacophony of crap. How in the world did Twitter ever evolve into becoming a news source for supposed mainstream media people? Well, let me tell you how: Because liberals dominate it. They dominate it with bots. The simple explanation of a bot is exactly what I just explained to you. You take an algorithm, you have two or three people, 10 people writing tweets. And those tweets then get sent out by what appears to be thousands and thousands and thousands of people, and the Drive-Bys look at it, “Whoa! Twitter is blowing up!” and they think the nation is outraged. So the Drive-By Media takes a look at what happens on Twitter — a cacophony of crap populated by leftists and their bots — for this express purpose.
