Bob Woodward is out there reminding everybody that this was Obama\u2019s idea, and journalists are now conflicted because Woodward is Mr. Journalist Emeritus. What that means is, Woodward ought to be leading the defense of Obama, and he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>Woodward is saying it\u2019s Obama\u2019s fault; it was Obama\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n<p>So these young buck journalists are going, &#8220;Oh, gee,&#8221; and they\u2019re turning on Woodward. Journalists are turning. Ezra Klein, the young &#8220;wunderkind&#8221; at the Washington Post, is writing he thinks Woodward\u2019s wrong &#8212; at Woodward\u2019s own paper! Other journalists are conflicted. Bill Plante. Oh, what sound bite is Bill Plante talking about State-Controlled Media? It\u2019s here somewhere. Here we go, audio sound bite 26. This is during Reliable Sources. Howard Kurtz yesterday on CNN said, &#8220;Bill Plante, you\u2019ve been patrolling the building since Ronald Reagan,&#8221; meaning the White House. &#8220;Does the White House press look a little self-involved, a little whiny, complaining about this Tiger [Woods] incident?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/120154\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>PLANTE: We\u2019ve gotten used to be calling whiny lapdogs.<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ: (guffawing)<\/p>\n<p>PLANTE: I\u2019ve heard it for 30 years!<\/p>\n<p>KURTZ: (guffawing)<\/p>\n<p>PLANTE: But this is not about a picture of Tiger Woods. This is about access to the president, and access to the president has been cut and pushed and curtailed over every administration I\u2019ve covered &#8212; and here\u2019s the nub of it, Howie. This administration has the tools to reach people on their own. They don\u2019t need us as much &#8212; and to the extent that they\u2019re able to do that, they\u2019re undercutting the First Amendment, which guarantees a free press through many voices. If they put out their own material, it\u2019s State-Run Media.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s a good question: &#8220;How would we know the difference between what President Obama puts out and what the press puts out?&#8221; Bill Plante\u2019s right. They don\u2019t need them! The White House doesn\u2019t need \u2019em, but they\u2019ve got \u2019em anyway. The White House has its own Twitter account. They still have all the campaign websites up. They\u2019re still out fundraising. But they also have the press. He just said it: &#8220;State-Run Media.&#8221; Where have you heard that before?<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/bob-woodward-obamas-sequester-deal-changer\/2013\/02\/22\/c0b65b5e-7ce1-11e2-9a75-dab0201670da_story.html?hpid=z1\"><img id=\"eZObject_73261\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/WoodwardMediaMont.jpg\"\/><\/a>So here\u2019s a guy in the State-Run Media complaining. See, what Plante\u2019s saying is, &#8220;Gosh, we\u2019re in the State-Run Media. There ought to be some kind of loyalty here! But he\u2019s not including us anymore. He doesn\u2019t need us.&#8221; So now Plante is calling these other propagandists State-Run Media, when they all are. But since Obama is not giving \u2019em any love&#8230; All this over no picture of Tiger Woods! Just to show you, you talk about petty and hurt feelings? Man, this is like not being in the clique in high school &#8212; not being among the group passing the notes &#8212; and feeling left out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I think what Obama\u2019s gonna do is he\u2019s gonna try to blame all of his massive defense cuts on the Republican sequester, but he\u2019s got a little problem.
