<\/p>\nRUSH: Dave in Salt Lake City, Utah. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s 30 years of excellence and I\u2019ve been listening or for 30 years. I\u2019m a year younger than you; so you\u2019re the senior guy here. I just want to say that it\u2019s funny that these press people scour all this hurricane stuff that you talked about — and mandatory this and that, get out of here, get out of here — and they fly \u2019em in to get in harm\u2019s way and put people at risk to get them out of there. Don\u2019t you think that ironic?<\/p>\n
RUSH: You mean the media people demanding everybody to get out while they fly in to report on it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely, Rush!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, this is a media phenomenon. It happens every snowstorm in every city in America where there are snowstorms. The media will dispatch reporters in the middle of a snowstorm to tell you that it\u2019s snowing, and then they will suggest that you stay inside. It\u2019s too dangerous out there. Don\u2019t do what they are doing. Do not go out there and stand in the snow and freeze your tush off. It\u2019s a public service. The media realizes you\u2019re too stupid to know whether or not it\u2019s safe out there. Same thing with a hurricane.<\/p>\n
Mandatory evacuation efforts, and the Drive-By Media plunges in there and then does reports from the midst of the storm warning everybody to stay away. Presumably people who\u2019ve already left will not be able to watch the warning to leave because they\u2019re not there, or if they are able to see it, it\u2019s after they already have left. I saw a story, by the way, that was yesterday (and I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s still active what with the storm having weakened some) that even the rescuers, the EMS people were not going to be able to stay, that it was gonna be so bad that even they were going to have to leave.<\/p>\n
But the media will be there. The media will be there in the midst of the storm taking shelter. You\u2019ve seen this. How many of you have seen a media person actually blown off of his or her feet by the wind? I\u2019ve seen it numerous times. And then they run to try to take shelter… Say their guy is staying in a hotel so you\u2019ll be doing the report from the hotel, take shelter under a staircase or by vending machines where the condoms and the Cokes are. The wind still whips around the corner and grabs \u2019em and takes \u2019em off balance. But, man, they\u2019re valiantly reporting.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t even hear \u2019em because the windscreens in the mics are not working. And they\u2019re shouting to be heard, warning you not to go outside like they are doing. But this because of valor. They possess valor. They are doing everything they are doing to advance journalism and save you. The premier… It\u2019s a premier sacrifice. I think, in truth, folks, it has led in some cases to our culture being so baby-like in many ways. “Now it\u2019s raining, Little Johnny,” who happened to be 40 and watching TV.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s raining, Little Johnny! Don\u2019t go outside without an umbrella.” That\u2019s part of every weather forecast today too. If you\u2019re gonna go outside when it\u2019s raining, make sure you take your umbrella. “Oh, I\u2019m glad they said that. That would have never occurred to me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
