Video: Gingrich Excoriates 'Elite Media' for Making Rush Limbaugh the 'Great National Crisis of This Week'

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Just in case you missed it, here's Newt Gingrich on Sunday blasting the media for zeroing in on radio host Rush Limbaugh's comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke this week rather than focusing on President Barack Obama's miserable job performance and attack on the Catholic Church while apologizing to Muslims in Afghanistan. Newt kicks some serious butt ... it's well worth watching:

.
[...] "I am astonished at the desperation of the elite media to avoid rising gas prices, to avoid the president's apology to religious fanatics in Afghanistan, to avoid a trillion dollar deficit, to avoid the longest period of unemployment since the great depression, and to suddenly decide that Rush Limbaugh is the great national crisis of this week," ... there is "no debate about access to contraception," ... instead "this weird situation where President Obama apologizes to Islamic extremists while waging war against the Catholic Church." ... "You have an issue here of whether the government can coerce the Catholic Church, not just into contraception, but into sterilization and abortion, something I don't find any reporter wants to talk about," ... "Nobody's blocking anyone from having access to contraception," ... "No one. The young lady who testified can get access to contraception. Nobody said she couldn't. The question is should a Catholic institution, or for that matter, the Ohio Christian University which is a Protestant institution, which is a very pro-life institution, which is now being told it will have to pay for abortion pills ... This is the most fundamental assault on religious liberty in American history despite every effort by the elite media to distort what it's about."
