I mean, there are a lot of us out here that are searching for the truth, and you opened the show with the fact that we\u2019re being lied to, and it is a country of commentary, of tweets, of blogs, of Facebook, that carry the same weight, apparently, as, you know, a traditional news source.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122587\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/CUTS-Truth-Detect-Media.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>And, you know, philosophically we\u2019re told, you know, the truth shall set you free.\u00a0 The opposite is true, that the lie shall ensnare, and I feel like we\u2019re kind of ensnared there.\u00a0 We want to make educated decisions, but we don\u2019t know who to listen to, what to believe, and I\u2019m gonna hang up and maybe you can comment on that, how can we make a better decision based on what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:\u00a0 Okay, I\u2019m gonna take this seriously.\u00a0 People might think my answer here is gonna be a little bit flippant, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart.\u00a0 Now, I know what you\u2019re talking about.\u00a0 At the beginning of the program I gave you some <a href=\"http:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2016\/05\/18\/quick_hits_page\">excerpts from Maureen Callahan<\/a>, how nothing today is real, how everything is a narrative. Narrative has become a substitute for substance, that nobody can rely on the substance of reality to sell anything, to persuade anybody.\u00a0 Everything has to be concocted.\u00a0 Everything is spin. Everything is buzz. Everything is PR. Nobody wants to rely on substance or reality.<\/p>\n<p>Now, elements of this are not new.\u00a0 P. T. Barnum, of course, there have always been hucksters.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want anybody to get the idea here that I think that we\u2019re in a totally new era.\u00a0 What is different is that, as Steven points out here, the usual citadels, the institutions that people used to rely on, have themselves been corrupted.<\/p>\n<p>Narrative used to be a very secret word.\u00a0 Narrative is what journalism schools teach.\u00a0 Establishing the narrative of the story.\u00a0 And that is code language for advancing your version of the story or your agenda and how to do it, by creating a story that becomes the narrative, that becomes whatever the news is.<\/p>\n<p>And let me recall for you one of the best illustrations of this is how the media always covers Democrats. It\u2019s how they covered Clinton. It is how they cover Obama.\u00a0 They never cover the substance of any Clinton proposal. They never cover the substance of Obama proposals.\u00a0 For example, let me ask you a question here.\u00a0 It\u2019s somewhat related.<\/p>\n<p>Why, ladies and gentlemen, should it require an author or just an average citizen who writes a book or does a radio show or TV show? Why is it those people uncovering the corruption?\u00a0 Why aren\u2019t people in Washington who are close to it uncovering it?\u00a0 Why aren\u2019t elected officials?\u00a0 Why are not elected Republicans exposing the fraud, say, of the Obama administration or the Clinton campaign? Why does it require authors with books that then have to get on TV and radio to sell the book to alert people?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122582\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/RushNews-Overview.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>Why isn\u2019t the media uncovering the corruption, say, of the Clinton Foundation?\u00a0 Why didn\u2019t the media uncover the nature and the substance of Obamacare?\u00a0 Why does it require people on talk radio or blogs to read the legislation and then relay it to people? And look what happens those of us who do this! We get tarred and feathered; we get smeared.\u00a0 Outsiders are having to do it because the traditional institutions everybody relies on (or has) have gone silent, particularly the media.\u00a0 In the case of Obamacare, the media didn\u2019t cover it from the standpoint of what is it.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that was important to the media was: &#8220;Would Obama get it? Would Obama be the first ever to get national health care in America?\u00a0 Would Obama succeed? Will Obama get what he wants?&#8221;\u00a0 Not, &#8220;Is what Obama wants good?\u00a0 Is what Obama wants helpful?\u00a0 Is Obama being truthful about the details of what he wants?&#8221; None of that.\u00a0 The press didn\u2019t cover one syllable of that.\u00a0 Not one page of Obamacare.\u00a0 The media covered the villains: The Republicans and people like me on radio and in blogs trying to stop Obama from getting what he wants.<\/p>\n<p>But they didn\u2019t report on us by telling people we were covering the substance of Obamacare.\u00a0 They just portrayed us as what have you: Racist, bigots, homophobes, who wanted to deny the first African-American president a signature legislative proposal.\u00a0 So the media &#8212; which most people instinctively rely on to learn what things are &#8212; doesn\u2019t tell anybody what things are anymore.\u00a0 All the media does, because they\u2019re all Democrats&#8230; They\u2019re all part of the Democrat agenda. All the media does is try to make sure that Obama or Clinton or whoever, get what they want.<\/p>\n<p>And to facilitate Obama or Hillary getting what they want, the Republicans are portrayed as venal, vile villains trying to deny Obama and the American people what they want.\u00a0 And just because they want it, they should have it.\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s much broader than that.\u00a0 That\u2019s just an example.\u00a0 Look at Facebook &#8212; Fakebook &#8212; and all these supposed algorithms that are supposed to be unbiased.\u00a0 Nothing is unbiased! Nothing is objective anymore, particularly in places with people claiming to be objective.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I\u2019ve gotta take a break here.\u00a0 But I\u2019m gonna continue this.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good question.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122604\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Fakebook-B.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: To the media.\u00a0 The guy wanted to know where you can trust.\u00a0 Folks, it\u2019s real simple.\u00a0 The<a href=\"http:\/\/nation.foxnews.com\/2016\/05\/16\/krauthammer-ny-times-hit-piece-if-best-they-can-do-get-ready-trump-inauguration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0New York Times has just been exposed<\/a>.\u00a0 I could spend some time going into detail on it.\u00a0 Their hit piece on Trump and the women on Sunday, has been fully exposed as fraudulent.\u00a0 It\u2019s the same writers who did a story on Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember the story where Rubio was lying about his finances because he had a &#8220;luxury speedboat,&#8221; and it turned out that it was nothing more than a 40-horsepower fishing boat?\u00a0 There was nothing &#8220;luxury&#8221; about it. There was no &#8220;speed&#8221; about it. That was totally made up.\u00a0 The women in the Trump piece have come forward and said, &#8220;That\u2019s not what I said.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t report anything. They\u2019ve taken me out of context. They\u2019ve misquoted me,&#8221; and it\u2019s been documented.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tougher because of social media today for those kinds of hit pieces to work.\u00a0 The New York Times is still plugged into their ages-old playbook on how to destroy people, and they have not yet factored in that they have legitimate fact-checkers all over the internet waiting to blow \u2019em up.\u00a0 So I still haven\u2019t fully answer the question.\u00a0 That\u2019s coming.\u00a0 I\u2019m not teasing you.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that time is going by faster.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: To finally answer the guy\u2019s question about with so much being bogus today, with so much buzz and PR and spin and what\u2019s real and what isn\u2019t, how do you spot it, where do you go. All I can do is tell you what I do.\u00a0 And, you know, I\u2019ve gotten I\u2019ve arrived at a point here where this has been my life.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m 65 years old now.\u00a0 I don\u2019t need to learn.\u00a0 I just need to remember the things that have guided me.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to learn any more about how the media operates, for example.\u00a0 I know how they substitute narrative for spin.\u00a0 I know what their objectives are.\u00a0 I know that they\u2019re not media.\u00a0 But I have to consult it all because that\u2019s what show prep is.\u00a0 Some of it, I mean, there is some in media that is real, like poll results is real news.\u00a0 The poll itself, ah, dicey, you have to rely on your instincts.\u00a0 What you really have to guard, what I really have to guard against is falling prey to everyday media tricks.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody does it, including me, and I am the head honcho of warning people what to look for, and even I get seduced by some media stuff.\u00a0 So I know how difficult it is.\u00a0 What I usually rely on is, take the New York Times, for example.\u00a0 I don\u2019t read it, because I know what\u2019s gonna be in it.\u00a0 I know what the columnists, both conservative and liberal, are gonna say, issue by issue, generically.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122599\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DemocratPlaybook101.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>I know what the front-page coverage of any news story is likely to be.\u00a0 I know how it\u2019s been trending at the New York Times for years.\u00a0 It\u2019s been trending in a direction anti-America for the longest time. America has become the problem in the world, and everything about America related to its founding specifically, and, if I may get bold, if you really want to know where the Drive-By Media is today, white traditional America is the root of all that\u2019s wrong.\u00a0 White Christian America is the root of all that\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s your foundational understanding, then you can read anything in the New York Times and understand it.\u00a0 Take this Trump piece, the hit piece on Trump that they ran on Sunday by these two reporters.\u00a0 It was classic.\u00a0 The moment I read the story I knew what the objective was.\u00a0 The only thing that surprised me about the story is why now and not August or September?\u00a0 I mean, they put a lot of time and a lot of money and a lot of energy into this story.\u00a0 Two primary reporters.\u00a0 But they\u2019re out there digging deep.<\/p>\n<p>And, like Dr. Krauthammer, I said, &#8220;Is this it?&#8221;\u00a0 Because I knew there wasn\u2019t one word of that that was going to bother a single Trump supporter.\u00a0 And, in fact, much of it was going to buttress support for Trump.\u00a0 Because the story portrayed Trump, once again, as a real guy, as a standard, ordinary, average American guy.\u00a0 But to modern leftists and liberals, the Pajama Boys, the metrosexuals, the feminized male population today that\u2019s epitomized the Democrat Party, white traditional maleness is the problem with the country.\u00a0 Its predatory. It\u2019s brutal. It\u2019s obscenely spoken.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional white American males are truck drivers, construction workers, and they wolf whistle at women and they\u2019re dirty and they\u2019re filthy and they cuss and they don\u2019t care about anything but themselves.\u00a0 But they are patriotic, which makes \u2019em also a problem, \u2019cause they\u2019re America first no matter what, and that\u2019s a problem.\u00a0 Because in the view of the New York Times, America is the problem, America\u2019s not the solution, and traditional white male Christendom, if you really look, I mean, that\u2019s the root of all problems today that Obama and the Democrats are trying to transform out of.<\/p>\n<p>Every victim in this country happens to be victimized by white Christians, predominantly men.\u00a0 That is where you find, you trace back to the founding, that is where you\u2019ll find the tentacle of all the evil, the discrimination, the unfairness, the lack of civil rights, all of the stuff that the left finds abhorrent, that\u2019s where it is.\u00a0 And Trump fits that definition to a T.\u00a0 He is boorish, he\u2019s loud, he\u2019s outspoken, and all of that means he\u2019s inconsiderate, he uses people, he\u2019s powerful, he steps on people and sweeps others that don\u2019t please him out of his way. He\u2019s not accommodating.\u00a0 That\u2019s the caricature.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122600\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/MediaDriveByMediaLowInfoNewsSoap.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>So they write a story &#8212; well, they actually conceive the story and then proceed to write it.\u00a0 They don\u2019t research it, report it, and then write it.\u00a0 They get their concept, they get their narrative, and then they go out and try to find the evidence.\u00a0 And when they don\u2019t, they have to manufacture it or use half quotes or what have you. \u00a0But nevertheless the story on Trump is actually no different than painting by dots, you know, color by dots.\u00a0 You fill in the blanks based on what their own biases are and what their preconceptions are of the people they find to be the problem.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump magically, automatically is going to fall into or fit into that profile.\u00a0 In fact, that\u2019s one of the reasons why he\u2019s successful, you see, because traditional white male Christians are livid that the people they have subjugated, subordinated, and victimized, are rising up and taking their world away from them.\u00a0 The New York Times applauds that, celebrates that, thinks it\u2019s justice, social or otherwise.\u00a0 Trump becomes the epitome of that.\u00a0 Any Republican presidential nominee would be to one degree or another, but they can\u2019t get away with it anymore, and for substantive reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-five years ago the Times could get away with that.\u00a0 The Times could have destroyed Trump with that story 25 years ago.\u00a0 They could have made it very problematic if all of this were happening 25 years ago.\u00a0 But they can\u2019t get away with it today.\u00a0 They can\u2019t get away with out-and-out lies or fraud or out-of-context quotes or misrepresentation.\u00a0 Just like Dan Rather and the boys didn\u2019t get away with the forged documents about George Bush and the National Guard.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they still get away with some stuff, don\u2019t\u00a0 misunderstand.\u00a0 They have some misses, but they have some hits, too.\u00a0 Generally their successes are against people who haven\u2019t the slightest idea how to fight back.\u00a0 They haven\u2019t the slightest idea how to rebut or don\u2019t have the desire to and just let it happen and trust that the readers will understand the truth.\u00a0 They will trust that the readers will read the story and remember things they read about the subject four years ago that don\u2019t quite fit with this.<\/p>\n<p>And you can\u2019t rely on the readers to figure something out because the attention span happens to be two minutes after they\u2019ve read the story.\u00a0 And then they\u2019re on to something else.\u00a0 That\u2019s why you have to hit back pretty quickly and immediately if that is your policy of doing so.\u00a0 And it is Trump\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_122601\" class=\"img_middle\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/TrumpMegyns-glare-Trump.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/>Trump told Megyn Kelly last night &#8212; she had a special on TV last night and Trump told her last night that if he perceives himself to be wounded, he is going to react immediately to unwound himself.\u00a0 If he gets shot, he\u2019s gonna go to a hospital, get the bullet taken out, get sewn up and get back out as soon as he can.\u00a0 He\u2019s gonna get rid of the wound.\u00a0 He\u2019s not gonna let it sit there and fester, especially, you know, when it\u2019s a crock.<\/p>\n<p>But the point is, how do you spot this?\u00a0 In my case with the New York Times, I just wait to be proven wrong in believing that most of what I\u2019m getting there is just agenda-driven drivel.\u00a0 CNN, same thing.\u00a0 MSNBC, same thing.\u00a0 I just know.\u00a0 I know that they\u2019re not news.\u00a0 I know that they\u2019re not media.\u00a0 They\u2019re not telling me things I don\u2019t know, as an objective.\u00a0 They may tell me things I don\u2019t know, but that\u2019s not what their purpose is.<\/p>\n<p>Their purpose is to promote some and destroy others.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s subtle; sometimes it\u2019s flat-out, direct, and in your face.\u00a0 But I do it every day.\u00a0 For people that don\u2019t, it becomes even more problematic.\u00a0 And there\u2019s something also that happens to everybody, including me.\u00a0 If it\u2019s published, anywhere &#8212; if it\u2019s written down and published in a mass-media way &#8212; which could be the most obscure website in the world&#8230; Somebody can send you some of the most ridiculous stuff.\u00a0 I\u2019ll give you one thing: Do not believe any mass e-mails you get that have been circulating the internet.<\/p>\n<p>One out of 25 of them may be true; 24 out of 25 are gonna be bogus, made up, abject lies.\u00a0 But they\u2019re seductive because it\u2019s written and it looks like people have researched it. The written word, there\u2019s something about it. The published, written word, there\u2019s something that automatically grants it truth and credibility &#8212; as opposed to, say, the spoken word, radio or TV (doesn\u2019t matter), or just casual conversation. Somebody can tell you something that they know for absolutely fact is true.<\/p>\n<p>You tell \u2019em you know for an absolute fact it is true. You tell \u2019em, and they\u2019ll still demand, &#8220;What\u2019s your source?&#8221; and it\u2019ll have to be a source they can go read.\u00a0 This is something that journalism professors and journalists have known for years.\u00a0 It\u2019s why they\u2019re so upset at what\u2019s happening the newspaper business.\u00a0 It used to be a gold mine for opinion manipulation, the written word.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Steven in Annapolis, Maryland, it\u2019s your turn.\u00a0 You\u2019re next.\u00a0 Hello, sir.
