\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Columbus, Ohio. Hi, Brian.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Thanks for taking my call, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know we have freedom of the press because the media\u2019s supposed to hold politicians accountable. You know, they like to call themselves the fourth estate, as if they\u2019re one of the branches of government. But that\u2019s assuming that they\u2019re impartial. You know, we know they\u2019re not. They\u2019ve chosen sides.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it\u2019s not — wait, wait, wait. It\u2019s never been impartial. The founders assumed that the media was going to hold powerful people accountable, and the media has done that. The media lives on a premise, or it used to, that the powerful are corrupt. That was taught in journalism school. The powerful have done something illegal to become powerful, and you are there to find out what it is. What\u2019s happened now, there\u2019s never been impartiality. What\u2019s happened now is — and you\u2019re right, the media has thrown in with one side and has now become part of the corruption of power. And so they are no longer — what\u2019s the phrase that John Kerry uses? “Speaking truth to power.” That\u2019s gone. They\u2019ve chosen sides and they\u2019ve made it abundantly clear, so there is no fourth estate. There is no —<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, if I may, an easy way of putting it for me anyway is they don\u2019t decide which stories to cover. They decide which stories to cover-up. That\u2019s about the quickest way I can get around it, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. And in the process, they are covering up for the people in power. When the Republicans are in power, the media reassumes its traditional position, and that is assuming that powerful people are corrupt. And then it does everything it can to undermine \u2019em, when they\u2019re Republicans. When they\u2019re Democrats they cover it up, like today. This poll, a media poll, the NBC News poll shows Obama at an all-time low, and they\u2019re not reporting that. In fact, not only not reporting it, they\u2019re reporting it as people angry at Republicans, angry at Washington, angry at Republicans for impeachment, angry at Washington in general. Grab sound bite three. Eamon Javers on CNBC Squawk Box this morning.<\/p>\n

JAVERS: President Barack Obama, he hits a new all-time low in the new NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll that just came out last night. Take a look at some of the highlights or the lowlights here if you\u2019re the Obama administration. The Obama approval hits the new low of 40%. Congress\u2019 approval much worse, however, 14%. Obama\u2019s approval on the economy just 42%, and his approval on foreign policy, a meager 36%.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, there\u2019s a second bite from this guy I don\u2019t have time to get to. I will after the break. But that\u2019s the only time they reported those numbers. Every CNBC report thereafter focused, as this one also did, that Congress\u2019 approval is much, much lower. Congress is in much worse shape. And in the next bite, as you\u2019ll hear when we get back, the guy wonders, why do the American people still think we\u2019re in a recession? Don\u2019t they know we\u2019re in a recovery? You\u2019ll hear it when we come be back. It\u2019s just an example of that which we are discussing at present.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, the NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll<\/a>? None of the other Drive-Bys are talking about that. When Bush was in office, say the CNN poll came out. They all talked about the CNN poll, every other network. When the ABC poll came out it and was bad for Bush, they all mentioned it. Here you\u2019ve got the NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll out, a record low for Obama, and they aren\u2019t even talking about it (as well as no other network talking about it), and furthermore they\u2019re making it up! They\u2019re claiming that the disapproval for Obama really reflects anger at Washington and the Republicans. <\/p>\n

I mean, it is the Limbaugh Theorem in full force, in bright lights, on full display. <\/p>\n

Now, here is the second half of the Eamon Javers report on CNBC, in which he talks about people\u2019s disgust and unhappiness with the economy and so forth, but kind of doesn\u2019t understand it since the stock market\u2019s doing so well.<\/p>\n

JAVERS: Take a look at some of the bad economic numbers here that talk about American economic pain. Uh, someone in their household has lost a job in the past five years: 40% say that. Five thousand dollars in student loan debt for themselves or their children: 27% say that. Twenty percent have more than $2,000 in credit card debt they\u2019re unable to pay off month to month, and 17% say they have a parent or a child over 21 living with them for financial or health reasons, and that all may be part of the reason why 49% of the people surveyed here said they think that the United States is still in a recession. Even though the recession technically ended a number of years ago, guys, Americans are still feeling all that economic pain.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, even though the recession ended, these guys are stunned. They cannot believe that people are still thinking this way \u2019cause recession ended and look at the stock market. So, look, we can go blind here, folks, talking about the role of the media in all this. Everybody knows that they abandoned their watchdog status. Everybody knows the media is a prime culprit in all of this; it goes without saying. Just because I don\u2019t mention it, don\u2019t think I haven\u2019t thought of it. It\u2019s not that at all. <\/p>\n

We have even more news. This is basically CNBC\u2019s written version<\/a>: “Americans Cranky, Unhappy About Government,” is the way they headline the NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll. They go on here to recount it, but they\u2019re clearly in a state of disbelief. That\u2019s what\u2019s amazing. In this story, they don\u2019t understand why people are this pessimistic and negative about things. There really is a disconnect, especially among media people living and working in Washington and New York, the Northeastern Corridor. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a new Rasmussen Reports survey that shows (now get this), “Only 27% of likely voters now think Obama\u2019s doing a good job or excellent job when it comes to immigration.” Now, on this one I\u2019m drawn back to yesterday. I raised the question actually two days ago. Why didn\u2019t Obama do amnesty when he owned the Congress, when the Democrats had the House and the Senate and Obama was in the White House his first two years? Why didn\u2019t he do amnesty then? <\/p>\n

In those two years, he was running around, and Hispanics were asking, “Why don\u2019t you do immigration? You promised you were gonna do immigration reform!” (Obama impression) “I can\u2019t do it alone. I\u2019m just the president. You know, I can\u2019t do it. I can\u2019t do it. I need Congress to help me along here. We have a nation of laws, and I can\u2019t do it.” You know, all that tripe. Now, when the Democrats don\u2019t control the Congress, when it is perceived that the Republicans do even though all they have is the House, now all of a sudden Obama\u2019s hell-bent.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s gonna just raise the number of people granted amnesty with a stroke of a pen. Five or six million, he\u2019s threatening to do. Why didn\u2019t he do this when he had no opposition to it? Why is he doing it now? The answer is very simple. Nobody is ever gonna get any credit for doing this. The American people do not want this. That\u2019s why he didn\u2019t do it. He couldn\u2019t blame it on the Republicans his first two years because the Republicans didn\u2019t show up. They didn\u2019t have the votes to stop anything. <\/line><\/p>\n

But since the Republicans now have the House, Obama can blame all this on the Republicans — and it\u2019s all about blame. The Limbaugh Theorem explains all of this. It\u2019s all about making sure Obama is not perceived as having anything to do with any of this. Be it the economy, be it immigration, be it the storming of the border, be it foreign policy, it\u2019s all somebody else\u2019s fault. <\/p>\n

“Powerful forces outside the White House — Congress, you name it — Obama\u2019s a victim of all this, and he\u2019s working as hard as he can to fix it, knowing that you want it fixed!” That\u2019s the Limbaugh Theorem. If only 27% of the American people think he\u2019s doing a good job on immigration, that means only 27% support immigration reform\/amnesty. There\u2019s no way he\u2019s gonna do that unless he can guarantee the Republicans are gonna take the hit for it, and look how close they\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n

I mean, if you listen to Republicans (chuckling), they think the only way they\u2019re gonna win again is to pass amnesty! (laughing) It\u2019s just stunning. They think the only way they\u2019re gonna win again is to do amnesty. Obama didn\u2019t do it when he had the Congress. If it was such a great thing, if it guaranteed winning the White House forever, why didn\u2019t Obama do it when he could? And if it\u2019s the only thing the Republicans now can do to win the White House, then why didn\u2019t Obama do it when he could and eliminate the Republicans forever? <\/p>\n

If that\u2019s it, if the only way the Republicans can ever win is to make the Hispanics love \u2019em, and the only way to do that is granting amnesty, then doesn\u2019t it follow that Obama could wipe the Republicans off the map by granting amnesty and leaving the Republicans out of it? Yet he doesn\u2019t do that, does he? He\u2019s not gonna do this unless the Republicans help him along. So when the people of this country get outraged over it, the Republicans take the hit. <\/p>\n

It is stunning to me how eagerly the Republicans are walking straight into a pit of quicksand. <\/p>\n

They see it; they\u2019re walking towards it.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re running, in fact, to get to this pit of quicksand, thinking it\u2019s the Promised Land! (sigh) Some things… Anyway, we\u2019re back to the original premise, and that is: What happens now? As all of this is going on, what is the recourse that people have? When the media is gone — when they\u2019re not fulfilling their role, when the media has chosen sides — and you have people in power who openly express their either disgust or disagreement with the Constitution and the country and think that it needs to be transformed…<\/p>\n

Oh, well, you know the drill. There\u2019s just a tremendous and growing amount of frustration, and then amidst all this I\u2019m reminded that two weeks ago Obama said, “You know, I decided to make the economy my legacy.” So he\u2019s running around talking about this great economic recovery, and he\u2019s got his buddies at CNBC talking about it. They can\u2019t believe people don\u2019t see it. “Why do they still think that we\u2019re living in a recession?”<\/p>\n

You know, Jimmy Carter\u2019s legacy was the economy, too. He thought the exact same thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
