Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh doled out some advice on his show Monday concerning the media: if you don't like what you hear or read, turn it off.
A caller asked Limbaugh what he should do when he hears things that frustrate him or that might not be true on national media outlets.
"Do you want to live a better life? Do you really want to have a normal, optimistic outlook on life every day? Don't watch that stuff!" Limbaugh said. "Don't watch CNN. Don't read The New York Times. If you look at Drudge and if you see headlines that portend the end of the world tomorrow, don't click on it.
"Just avoid the crap that pollutes the daily so-called news that comes from left-wing news organizations. You will be amazed. And it doesn't take long, either. Just two days. You go on a Drive-By Media fast, two days of it, and your outlook on life will be dramatically improved."
President Donald Trump and several members of his inner circle have been taking shots at the media for what they feel is an unfair bias against him. Conservative lawmakers have taken up the practice as well.
Limbaugh said there's too much speculating.
"It's just lame, some of the analysis that you get to explain things out there. And there is more speculating — you know, everybody thinks they're a political tactician," he said.
Trump announced over the weekend he will not attend the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April.
