I guess this would go in the category of why the Old Media is dying.  The NBC Nightly News did a story last night.  You know what they just found out?  NBC Nightly News just found out that Obamacare is forcing employers to convert full-time workers to part-timers.  They just found this out.  Now, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12011\">you have known this been going on for how many months now?<\/a>  Seriously.  Months this has been going on because you might be affected.  This is the old thing about 30 hours or less and you don\u2019t have to provide health care for people.  And so a lot of businesses have been converting full-timers to part-timers.  NBC just found out about it, and they did a report.  They actually did a report.  They had a reporter who went out there and reported, and she\u2019s good, Lisa Myers. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_80014\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushSeeIToldYouObamacareNBC.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You know what my guess is?  My guess is that Lisa Myers has had this story for months and has been trying to get it on the air.  That\u2019s my guess.  I don\u2019t want to ruin her career here.  She\u2019s interviewed me.  I\u2019ve had several segments with her, and she\u2019s good.  Like Jamie Gangel at NBC is good.  There\u2019s a number of them that are.  And my guess is that this is not news to her, but it has been news to her editors.  I\u2019m just guessing.  Here\u2019s how it went.  We had fill-in anchor Lester Holt.  I think Brian Williams was watching tape of his daughter on that Dunham show, took the night off. Either that or had knee surgery, one of the two.  So Lester Holt was in there and he got the ball rolling.<\/p>\n<p>HOLT:  We\u2019re learning more tonight about some of the unintended consequences of the Affordable Care Act, which the president himself now calls Obamacare.  Some workers who thought it meant they\u2019d finally get some health insurance are instead getting hit with a double whammy:  no insurance and a pay cut.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  By the way, this is another thing that is starting to happen. Now, these guys are how many months late to this?  But they\u2019re getting there now.  And I\u2019ve got a story here from St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  I mean, this paper would probably lead the movement to have Missouri kick the state fair out of the state.  The Post-Dispatch, they\u2019re just a good old liberal paper.  And even they: &#8220;Low Premium, High Deductible Health Plans Are Endangered by Affordable Care Act.&#8221;  What that means is, if you like your plan, if you like your insurance, you\u2019re not gonna get to keep it.  Obama\u2019s made this promise over and over.  You like your doctor?  Nothing changes.  You like your plan?  Nothing changes. <\/p>\n<p>And the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a story on how, &#8220;Oh, yeah, it\u2019s gonna change.&#8221;  So all of these Drive-By Media outlets are finally starting to report the truth of Obamacare.  Now, granted, they are years late.  And this is why they\u2019re dying.  They used to be first in discovering this stuff and telling people about it.  But now they\u2019re part of the regime and driving the regime\u2019s agenda.  So, anyway, here\u2019s Lisa Myers, and we have two sound bites.  She is the investigative correspondent, and we have two bites on her report.  Here\u2019s the first one.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/epzVJv9hImw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>MYERS:  Luke Perfect has worked at a Subway franchise in Maine for a decade. But he recently was told his hours would be cut to 29 a week.<\/p>\n<p>PERFECT: It\u2019s very tough. I\u00c2\u2019m scratching by as it is with overtime. <\/p>\n<p>MYERS:  Luke\u2019s boss, Loren Goodridge, who owns 21 Subway franchises, says it\u2019s all because of the new health care law.  Employers must provide health insurance to anyone working 30 or more hours a week. Goodridge says his small business can\u2019t afford that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, how many low-information voters watching NBC are hearing this for the first time?  One of the things I like to do, I like to pretend I\u2019m a low-information voter.  It\u2019s a very hard thing to do.  Have you ever tried to pretend you don\u2019t know what you know?  It\u2019s very, very hard, if you\u2019re conscious at all.  But I try to pretend I\u2019m a low-information voter and am just hearing this for the first time.  I\u2019m sitting out there and thinking my health care is gonna cost nothing or it\u2019s gonna be free, and whenever I want it, and whatever I need, and I\u2019m watching the news, and then I\u2019m seeing, &#8220;Wait a minute, people are losing their jobs because of this?  How can that be?  It\u2019s free.&#8221;  I try to imagine the low-information voters\u2019 reaction when they watch a story like this.  Maybe I mistakenly assume that it connects with them.  But as part of the pretending, I\u2019m pretending that they hear it.  Here\u2019s Lisa Myers\u2019 second installment of the report.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=12011\"><img id=\"eZObject_79995\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushObamavillePartTimeJobs.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>MYERS:  At St. Petersburg College in Florida, 250 part-time professors have had their hours reduced.<\/p>\n<p>BILL LAW:  It has been the hardest decision I\u2019ve had to make, and I hope that we can work our way through it to a better answer than we\u2019re able to give today.<\/p>\n<p>MYERS:  Part-time math professor Tracy Sullivan lost half her income.<\/p>\n<p>TRACY SULLIVAN:  I never thought it would impact me directly.  I was stunned when I got the e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I am stunned listening to this.  Did you hear that?  Snerdley, what are you researching?  You searching Google?  Part-time, part-time math professor, Tracy Sullivan, lost half of her income.  Tracy Sullivan says, &#8220;I never thought it would impact me directly.  I was stunned when I got the e-mail.&#8221;  A part-time math professor didn\u2019t know that Obamacare was gonna convert her job to part-time.  It\u2019s stunning.  And furthermore, insult to injury, she found out in an e-mail. <\/p>\n<p>She could have found out watching the news or listening to this show.  She could have found out this was gonna happen months ago.  Just boggles the mind.  That\u2019s why I try to pretend to be one of these people when they first learn about this.  They\u2019re thinking it\u2019s gonna be free.  Look what she said.  &#8220;I never thought it would impact me.  I never thought all this stuff was gonna impact me.  And then I got the e-mail, and I said, &#8216;Whoa.'&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now, NBC News, this is fascinating, folks.
