RUSH: You know what struck me over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Big Media, the Drive-By Media, never, ever get investigated. They do not investigate themselves. CBS did over Rather, but they had to on that one, but they never, ever get investigated. They can distort. They can lie. They can ruin people. They can create total false impressions of reality that has real effect on people\u2019s lives, and nobody ever demands an investigation. But you let it be Big Oil that does something or let it be Big Drug that does something or Big Retail or Big Tobacco, why, we\u2019ll stop the presses and we\u2019ll investigate. I know the media has First Amendment protections and I\u2019m not suggesting Congress should do this. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m just saying, in terms of the institutions that guide our lives and shape our thinking, the one that perhaps has more importance and more power than any of these others never, ever gets called to task, never, ever is investigated, while they seek to investigate and destroy everybody else that gets in their way or of their agenda. Greetings, my friends, and welcome. Rush Limbaugh back, full week of — well, no, not a full week of broadcast excellence. Sorry, three days, then off to Hawaii on Thursday for a golf gig. (interruption) What? How can I…? (interruption) I\u2019m going to Hawaii. I got some friends out there. A guy just built a new house. I\u2019m going to go out there. I\u2019ve been planning to go out there for a while. I\u2019ve been putting this off for two years and finally going to go out there and it\u2019s the only time I\u2019ve got. It\u2019s going to get swamp heavy here in the election season and so forth. <\/p>\n

At any rate, greetings, folks, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. 800-282-2882. The e-mail is Rush@eibnet.com<\/a>. We\u2019ll get to this latest resolution attempt by the White House and I guess the French and the United Nations to cease hostilities in Lebanon and Israel. This attempt, I\u2019m going to tell you up front, makes me sick to my stomach. I hope it fails. I think it\u2019s ridiculous, and I wish somebody would just get out of the way and let the Israelis one time finish the job. What nobody wants to admit here is that this is all about Iran and Syria, and if we don\u2019t deal with this now we\u2019re going to have to deal with it at some point, mark my words, because there\u2019s no such thing as a sustainable peace, especially a sustainable peace that\u2019s established on the Lebanese establishing a full-fledged government that\u2019s going to have total control over the Hezbos. <\/p>\n

If one thing we know is impossible, it\u2019s that. This prime minister doesn\u2019t even want that. He\u2019s scared to death of the Hezbos, and this guy, ‘Sheik\u2019 Nasrallah, has become a rock star in the Arab world. He\u2019s supplanted Osama bin Laden. In fact, the Lebanese prime minister has essentially said that this proposed resolution, the first of two that was announced today by the president and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is no good because it allows Israeli forces to stay in southern Lebanon. Of course it\u2019s no good. That\u2019s not going to work in terms of a ceasefire. This frustrates me. (More on that in just a second.) The opening of the program here about the media never being investigated, I\u2019m sure many of you by now have heard of the literal fraud perpetrated by al-Reuters with all of the fake and doctored photos coming out of the action in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s much too numerous to recount verbally here. We have this posted at RushLimbaugh.com. I was up \u2019til three in the morning on Sunday working on this when I first heard about this, and trying to organize all that\u2019s out there in the blogosphere. Little Green Footballs was the first to call attention to this. Charles Johnson, who runs that blog, has had his life threatened now by a Reuters — we think it\u2019s a Reuters employee. Somebody has used a Reuters e-mail address to send him a death threat essentially saying, he can\u2019t wait, the writer said he can\u2019t wait to see Charles Johnson\u2019s throat slit. It all started with a bunch of fake photos about bombing attacks in Beirut. Photoshop has a clone tool. If you use Photoshop, you\u2019re familiar with this — and you can clone any aspect of a photo that you want. <\/p>\n

<\/line>They did it with smoke, and it was just horribly done. It was so obviously hurried, not even professional, not even a professional attempt to doctor the pictures, couldn\u2019t stand up to the light of day. Reuters took awhile before they retracted the picture, but it\u2019s already out there, it had already been on front pages of newspapers just like these phony baloney, plastic banana pictures that have come out of Qana. We now know that much of these are staged. There are two other questionable pictures. There are actually more than that. This is tip of the iceberg, folks. Dan Rather was just the tip of the iceberg. This stuff going on here is confirming every suspicion I\u2019ve had about fake news oriented toward the action line per story that Drive-By Media types had. <\/line><\/p>\n

Anything outside that doesn\u2019t permeate, doesn\u2019t register, and they\u2019re not interested in it. In fact, they\u2019ll even make things up and enhance things and make it look worse than it was to advance their story line. Reuters ought to be disgraced forever over this. They ought to be investigated. They ought to investigate themselves. Haven\u2019t heard any call for this, and that\u2019s what made me realize, this outfit, this bunch, this industry, as destructive as it can be, both to individuals, to corporations, and to cultures and societies never, ever gets investigated, nor do the individuals in it ever get investigated. Now, the second picture — and this was a doozy — the second picture purported to show an Israeli F-16, although the F-16 was not in the picture frame. <\/p>\n

It was cropped out. What it showed was three or four missiles being launched, obviously on innocent civilian targets. The caption is as important as the picture. It turns out that the real picture was of an Israeli F-16 firing off one flare, as in chaff, to try to confuse surface-to-air missiles if the Hezbos have any and if they were going to launch any. You take the picture; you duplicate or clone the flare and its streak of smoke through the sky which was being emitted from behind the F-16 when you see the real picture. The cropped version made it look like these were missiles that had been fired. There were four of them. The other thing that has just been discovered — and countless more. There have to be countless more, not just with Reuters.<\/p>\n

Reuters has finally said: We\u2019re not going to use this freelancer anymore, Adnan Hajj, al-Sheik, whatever his name is. I couldn\u2019t care less. They pulled his entire portfolio from their website, but there\u2019s another picture showed from about a week apart. First picture is a wide-angle view of a destroyed building somewhere in Lebanon, and I think that\u2019s on July 24th or the 28th. On August 4th, the same picture — well, picture at the same place, close up, showing one of the same buildings with a forlorn woman walking through the rubble was sent out on the wire again as evidence of a second bombing. It was the same place, the same destruction, with different angles, different fields of view from the view finder, and it\u2019s all been portrayed as two separate attacks. In the first instance where the smoke was cloned to make it look as though the whole city was on fire, they even cloned buildings. <\/p>\n

<\/line>They cloned damaged buildings. I mean, it\u2019s clear what the intent here is. The intent is to lie to the American people. They know that their willing accomplices in the Drive-By Media internationally are not going to investigate, are not going to be curious. Reuters wasn\u2019t even curious. These obvious fakes got past their professional editors, their photo journalist editors. They didn\u2019t get past anything. They tried to sneak a bunch of fraudulent photos past other media, which would not be hard, because they\u2019re all on the same page, and of course consumers who read this. Once again, as in the Dan Rather situation, it was the blogosphere that brought this to light and to everybody\u2019s attention. It started by Little Green Footballs, and their website got clogged and other websites picked it up. What we have, if you\u2019re new to this or if you haven\u2019t seen as much of the detail as there is to see, and as much of the analysis — because it is devastating, folks, the photo analysis that photo journal experts have engaged in here — we have quite a few examples on the website at RushLimbaugh.com. We put them up yesterday. <\/line><\/p>\n

So I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s just limited to al-Reuters. I can\u2019t help but go back when I first leveled the claim here about the phony, staged photos in Qana, how the executive vice president — Carroll was her last name, I can\u2019t remember her first name — made the remark, ‘How can people in an air-conditioned studio like me or in a cubicle with a computer some 6,000 miles away possibly understand what\u2019s going on? They don\u2019t understand the competitive nature of what we do in this business.\u2019 There\u2019s no competitive nature, because what we have found is that in the case of Qana, the media is herded it into a waiting area. There\u2019s no competitive anything. <\/p>\n

There are two guys. They\u2019ve been named White T-Shirt<\/emphasize> and Green Helmet<\/emphasize>, and these guys are always on the scene at virtually every disaster in Lebanon, and they parade these corpses before the media gaggle on a certain occasion and then four hours later, before certain backdrops, and the same pictures go out with different time stamps on them. There\u2019s no competition. They\u2019re just sitting ducks. They\u2019re just herding. They\u2019re waiting, like they do every day. You think they go out and report news? Hell, they wait for the fax machine. They wait for press releases, talking points from their buddies, and that stirs — you wonder how every news media person in this country ended up calling Cheney ‘gravitas\u2019 after he was nominated to be VP? We\u2019ve got that montage. I don\u2019t want to play it for you, but over 35 media people over the course of a week referring to that choice as having ‘gravitas\u2019 because Bush was a lightweight.<\/p>\n

So this is a really serious thing as far as I\u2019m concerned. You know, it\u2019s sort of like I\u2019ve always told you about law enforcement. There just is a natural tendency on the part of citizens — forget politics here. There\u2019s a natural tendency on the part of citizens to believe law enforcement. Law enforcement is the good guys. They\u2019re always the guys in the white hats and they\u2019re always going out grabbing the bad guys, and when they say somebody did something, the human nature tendency is to believe it. Big Media benefits from the same thing. It\u2019s just been they\u2019re there, they\u2019re on the scene, they\u2019re trying to get the facts, plus when they show you pictures, why, pictures are what move in many cases, and in this case, al-Reuters is being done in by the pictures. <\/p>\n

This is, I think, on purpose, especially by al-Reuters, for the express purpose of harming and destroying the Israelis\u2019 effort to win this war. They have clearly chosen sides, and it is with the Hezbos. Much of what I call the Drive-By Media has done the same thing. Now, you may be hearing about this for the first time. I don\u2019t know how engaged you were over the weekend and how much you have been made aware of this, but if this is the first you\u2019re hearing of it, there\u2019s a reason. Nobody in the Drive-By Media in this country is the least interested in this. Nobody! Just like they were not interested in Rather for a while. What happened after the Rather exposure was that the Drive-By Media started denigrating the blogosphere, calling them the pajama media, a bunch of lazy guys who don\u2019t go report. There are no editors. Well, there are no editors at al-Reuters, either — and if there are editors at al-Reuters, they\u2019re worthless skunks. They have no excuse on this. They\u2019re withdrawing the portfolio, withdrawing the pictures and so forth. <\/p>\n

That seems to satisfy. ‘Ooh, we made a mistake.\u2019 Okay. Reuters has corrected it. There\u2019s no curiosity in the rest of the media about, well, wait a minute, if they\u2019re doctoring photos, could they be doctoring captions and making them up? If they\u2019re doctoring photos, maybe what we learned out of Qana did not actually happen? No curiosity. No desire to go revisit it. That\u2019s the Drive-By Media. You drive by, you throw words and images into the crowd that totally distort, totally shake things up get everybody all roiled up; then you drive down the road to the next event and do the same thing. It\u2019s going to be interesting to see if anybody in the mainstream Drive-By Media in this country has any outrage over this in terms of at least wondering if that kind of thing will boomerang or bleed into their own reputations. You know, this photo guy will end up having the wagons circled around him, he\u2019ll be given a Pulitzer Prize by somebody. He may be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for all I know because the trend is for all these people in the Drive-By Media to circle the wagons when one of them is under assault, even when so blatantly obviously guilty that it ought to be embarrassing and it ought to cause an investigation, it ought to make these people worry about their own credibility industry-wide. But (raspberry) nothing. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This business of doctored photos and forged documents courtesy of Dan Blather. I\u2019m sure you could think of countless examples. People on the phones are thinking of countless other examples. It\u2019s only going to get worse for these people if they don\u2019t wise up here and understand that there are now members of an alternative media that are scrutinizing everything they do, and their credibility is waning. ABC has a story again today. This was something we reported on just a couple weeks ago, if not even that long ago. ‘Half of US Still Believe Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction.\u2019 It\u2019s on the ABC News website, but it\u2019s an Associated Press story by Charles J. Hanley, AP, special correspondent.<\/p>\n

“Did Saddam Hussein\u2019s government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003? Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll finds, and experts see a raft of reasons why. A draft and drumbeat of voices from talk radio to die-hard bloggers to the Oval Office, a surprise headline here or there, or rallying around a partisan flag and a growing need for people in their own minds to justify the war in Iraq.” How about the possibility that they are there or were there? Everybody knows that they were there, and Clinton and Kerry and everybody in the Democratic Party in 1998 warned us of the same thing. But Mr. Handley of AP says, “‘People tend to become independent of reality in these circumstances,\u2019 says opinion analyst Stephen Cull.” Note here the media just beside itself! Half of us still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and they blame us for being stupid. <\/line>We\u2019re the ones who cling to alternative realities. It\u2019s inverted. It\u2019s just the exact opposite. It is they who have no curiosity. It is they who operate on the premise now: there were never any weapons of mass destruction. History on this didn\u2019t begin until George Bush began talking about it. What Bill Clinton said in 1998, what the Drive-By Media wrote about weapons of mass destruction in 1998, \u201999, and 2000, which we have documented and found and put on our website. Never happened, apparently. History began when Bush first started talking about this. So now of course you people, mind numbed robots, incapable of self-thought, incapable of your own research, you\u2019re being hoodwinked again by people like me and the bloggers, and of course the deceit-ridden Oval Office. I love this. People tend to become independent of reality in these circumstances. It\u2019s not that people think they\u2019re still there. It\u2019s that people knew they were there. They had been used.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Joe in Sparta, New Jersey, I\u2019m glad you called. Welcome to the program, sir.<\/line>CALLER: How you doing, Rush? Second time caller.<\/line>RUSH: Fine. Thank you.<\/line>CALLER: I was looking at Little Green Footballs about the articles, and in “comments” there\u2019s a link to an 18-minute documentary about the Palestinians. They show footage from an unmanned Israeli drone of a funeral of one of the martyrs. Well, before they get to the crowd, they — by mistake — drop the litter, and the body (supposed body) rolls off. Well, the “martyr” gets back up and gets back on the litter by himself, and then gets covered with the flag they showed to the crowd for the cameras.<\/line>RUSH: So it\u2019s a fake corpse.<\/line>CALLER: It\u2019s a fake corpse.<\/line>RUSH: It wasn\u2019t a corpse. It was a live body acting like a corpse, but he fell off the stretcher or the litter or whatever and had to get up real quick?<\/line>CALLER: They have the footage from an unmanned drone, he gets back up and they cover the body with the flag again and go on to the photo-op, but it\u2019s a very informative documentary. It\u2019s called Pallywood (You Tube Video: Pallywood)<\/a>, and it\u2019s off one of the links of Little Green Footballs.<\/line> RUSH: Oh, yes, I\u2019ve heard of this. Pallywood. In fact, the same term has been used in a different form attached to Hezbollah, Pallybazoo or something like that — I forget what it is, but it\u2019s all about the fact that they\u2019re staging. They\u2019re acting, creating events for cameras. You know, here\u2019s another thing, folks. I\u2019m not going to sit here and believe that people are this stupid, that these photojournalists are this stupid. These are freelancers over there. They live in Lebanon. The Reuters people, this one guy did, Hadji, al-Sheik, al-Mani, whatever his name is. I couldn\u2019t care less anymore. But the bottom line is, they get these freelancers over there and they hire them. You can\u2019t tell me that this guy made mistakes. His mistake was carelessness in getting caught. You can\u2019t tell me these people are innocent victims of their own hearts. You can\u2019t tell me that they\u2019re trying to do the best that they can, and you can\u2019t tell me that the competitive pressures, particularly in a war zone, are the primary culprits here. <\/line><\/p>\n

I think it is totally reasonable to assume that all these people are actively engaged human beings and they\u2019re in a war zone. Active, engaged human beings think. And active, engaged human beings have an interest in the outcome of events. It is clear through all these doctored, fake, fraudulent photos that people are attempting to present a false image and impression, hoping to condemn Israel in the PR sense, in the spin phase of this to make their job even harder, and to also stoke the world up in sensitivity and sympathy and in favor of the Hezbos. There\u2019s no question this is being done on purpose. It is these, oh, my God, we\u2019re shocked! Why, we can\u2019t believe that these pictures got by our vast professional editors. They got past the editors because the editors passed them, just assumed nobody would question it. That\u2019s what I mean by the arrogance of these people. Even after Dan Rather, even after all the other expos&eacute;s, most of the people in the Drive-By Media still do not get the fact that they are being investigated on a daily basis by alternative media. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right before the program started today, Drudge posted the following story from Reuters. ‘Lebanese prime minister Fouad Siniora said on Monday that one person had been killed in an Israeli air strike on the southern border village of Houla rather than 40 as earlier feared. A resident said about 50 people had been found alive under the rubble. ‘The massacre, it turned out there was just one person killed,\u2019 the PM told reporters. ‘They thought the whole building smashed on the heads of about 40 people. Thank God they have been saved.” Yes, yes, thank God they\u2019ve been saved. Bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, is that correction never makes as much news as the original. In fact, I just saw something about one of these fake pictures that a Drive-By Media still can\u2019t get it right. <\/p>\n

The Israeli F-16 that was photographed out of the picture — well, it was in the picture. They showed apparently four missiles being launched, four missiles from the F-16. They were not missiles. It was one flare, chaff. It\u2019s stuff jets release to confuse surface-to-air missiles, and the one flare that was released, of course, with its blazing front end, was cloned into four different flares, made to look like missiles. But flares don\u2019t do any destruction, and they\u2019re still talking about the destruction of one missile. There was no missile. It was a flare, launched backwards. The jet is streaking through the sky down, the flares launched backwards to try to confuse any surface-to-air missile. It\u2019s not hard to understand if you have a rudimentary understanding of aviation and aircraft, particularly military aircraft. Let me ask if you\u2019ve seen this story anywhere in the Drive-By Media.<\/p>\n

There is a Wahhabi mullah or imam in Saudi Arabia. A cleric who was instrumental in inspiring Osama bin Laden issued a fatwa demanding that Saudis oppose the devil in this context. The devil is Hezbollah. Have you seen this reported? Of course you haven\u2019t seen this reported! ‘A top Saudi Sunni cleric whose ideas inspired Osama bin Laden issued a religious edict Saturday disavowing the Shiite guerrilla group Hezbollah. Hezbollah, which translates as ‘the party of God,\u2019 is actually ‘the party of the devil,\u2019 said Sheik Safar al-Hawali. ‘Don\u2019t pray for Hezbollah,\u2019 he said in the fatwa posted on his Web site.\u2019 So all this talk about Arab unity and the changing course that Arabs are all of a sudden siding with the Hezbos. If that\u2019s happening, to any extent, it\u2019s just because Hezbollah is getting its butt kicked, like I spent great time telling you on Friday. <\/p>\n

<\/a> Now, how about the New York Times? The New York Times, as we know, sympathizes with terrorists. I\u2019ll give you a couple examples from August the 6th, yesterday. ‘A Disciplined Hezbollah Surprises Israel With Its Training, Tactics and Weapons.\u2019 Oh, they are marveling at the New York Times over the military capabilities of a bunch of terrorists. They\u2019re romanticizing them. The second story was by Steven Erlanger and Richard A. Oppel, Jr. The second story: ‘Arab World Finds Icon in Leader of Hezbollah,\u2019 and this was by Neil MacFarquhar, who said from Israel last week that he lamented that from we now get Bush\u2019s bombs instead of Kennedy\u2019s milk. Same guy. ‘Arab World Finds Icon in Leader of Hezbollah,\u2019 trying to build up the enemy again at the New York Times. Of course they\u2019re not the enemy to the New York Times. <\/p>\n

George W. Bush is the enemy, and anybody allied with him — in this case, the Israelis. Bush and the Israelis are the enemy. ‘The success or failure of any cease-fire in Lebanon will largely hinge on the opinion of one figure: Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, who has seen his own aura and that of his party enhanced immeasurably by battling the Israeli Army for nearly four weeks.\u2019 Yeah, and they\u2019ve had a lot of help out there, Neil, from fake, forged photos and pictures, staged events, you and your buddies in the Drive-By Media have done a bang-up job in shifting world opinion against the Israelis, but this is just over the line here. The Secretary-General of Hezbollah? As though they are a legitimate government, elected by their people? Secretary-General of Hezbollah? Who gave him that title? And if he gave it to himself, why in the world do you respect it, Mr. MacFarquhar? Secretary-General!? We are now, in the Drive-By Media in this country, extending titles of respect and auras of admiration to terrorist leaders.<\/p>\n
