“The Republican establishment, the Democrat establishment agree and accept that the media is an equal player in the ruling class. Trump has blown all of that out the window. As such, the normal ways that people in politics are controlled, the normal way that people are contained - the ways people are promoted, punished, destroyed, what have you - are all out the window where Trump is concerned. And therefore the media is considered by the ruling class to be one of the great leveling factors.” PeopleWayAcceptingClassPlayerMediaTrumpRepublicanEqualNormalConcernedWindowAgreeDemocratFactorsDestroyedControlledEstablishmentRuling Author:Rush Limbaugh
