Millennial Tech Bloggers Rejoice! NYT Drops Paywall<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I was reading my little tech blogs today.  Tech blogs are a bunch of Millennials.  They are Millennials and like many, not all, like many Millennials, they\u2019re arrogant and think they know everything. <\/p>\n

I guess every person, when they\u2019re 18 to 34, thinks they know everything, and that adults are kind of behind the times, not hip and don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on.  Anyway, these little tech bloggers today, folks, they\u2019re orgasmic. I can see them masturbating to their keyboards today because the New York Times has removed its pay wall for the last four days.  So the little tech bloggers are just besides themselves.  They\u2019re so excited the New York Times is free! Oh my God, they can\u2019t contain their excitement about this. <\/p>\n

Yes, they\u2019re tightwads, but they\u2019re tightwads because they don\u2019t have any money and they don\u2019t have any money because of the Obama economy.  Though, that\u2019s not what they know.  They don\u2019t blame Obama for anything.  They don\u2019t hold Obama accountable for anything, nor Hillary actually.  These are classic propagandized youth.  They are perfect examples of the indoctrination that happens in education today.  They all believe in climate change.  They all believe man\u2019s doing it.  They all believe the planet is not going to be habitable by the time they\u2019re age 65.  They literally believe this stuff.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now they can barely contain themselves that the New York Times is free.  They hate paying for anything.  They hate cable.  They hate anything that costs money.  They hate people that spend money on expensive things because that keeps the prices up.  And they write about this.  They have disdain for — except they love Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.  I guess that\u2019s okay for them.  But the disconcerting aspect of this is that they can read the New York Times. <\/p>\n

Now, to you and me the New York Times is flawed, biased, not objective.  The New York Times has not written a thing about the FBI investigation of the Clinton Foundation.  In fact, the only outlets you have are Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.  No other Drive-By Media is getting into it.  They\u2019re not touching it.  Not at all in terms of the investigation.  They are writing about how Fox is out of control.  And they\u2019re writing about it as though the FBI is biased against Hillary.  But they\u2019re not covering the substance of the issue. <\/p>\n

This would be akin to the Drive-By Media ignoring Richard Nixon and Watergate.  It\u2019s that big.  That means, folks, that there\u2019s a lot of people in this country that do not know, because if the Times doesn\u2019t cover it, then the AP doesn\u2019t cover it.  If the AP doesn\u2019t cover it then 4,000 papers in America doesn\u2019t report it.  And then Yahoo! News doesn\u2019t have it and the Facebook news feed doesn\u2019t have it and there\u2019s nothing much on it on Twitter on the left side. <\/line><\/p>\n

So there\u2019s a whole bunch of people that are not going to know anything about the fact that the FBI has been investigating the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation for over a year and with just cause.  There may well have been criminal activity going on.  May still be going on.  The pay-for-play aspects, selling United States foreign policy.  But there\u2019s half the country that\u2019s not learning about it.  Half the country not hearing about it and they won\u2019t hear about it.  Because the story\u2019s being buried.  <\/p>\n

Mysterious DTV Outage on Fox and CNN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, I have to tell you. Want to know something else weird, folks?  I got in here today… We have two TV monitors as I\u2019ve explained to you on previous occasions, and they\u2019re DirecTV.  And we have a cable back-up.  So we\u2019re covered if something goes wrong.  We have redundancy.  And today I walked in here and both the monitors are showing me screens that indicate we\u2019ve lost the satellite connection, as though maybe a bill hasn\u2019t been paid or there\u2019s some problem with the downlink or whatever. <\/p>\n

“Call Extension 773, Customer Service.”  They don\u2019t give you a number to call.  They just say, “Call Extension 773” or whatever it is.  So I started flipping around here and I found… The monitors are on CNN and Fox.  Top monitor is on CNN.  Bottom monitor is on Fox.  I found out that if I want to watch ESPN or any other channel, I can.  It\u2019s just Fox and CNN that are not being received by my DirecTV receivers.  So I went over there to the Two If By Tea conference room, which is an entirely different network. <\/p>\n

I mean, it\u2019s a different entity that is paying for the service, and no Fox or CNN over there.  We can get anything else on DirecTV that you want, but we cannot get Fox or CNN.  I didn\u2019t try for PMSNBC because even if I could get it I wouldn\u2019t watch it. (interruption) Really? (interruption)  Oh.  Okay.  There\u2019s a message, I\u2019ve been informed here on the screen: “Don\u2019t call us.”  DirecTV has a splash message.  “Don\u2019t call us.  If you want to watch these two news channels, watch in standard definition. Don\u2019t watch in HD.” That means you\u2019ve got to go into your settings. <\/line><\/p>\n

How many people know how to do this?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll guarantee you that not two out of ten people are going to know how to go and find the standard-definition channel.  They get their DirecTV out of the box.  They have somebody hook it up or they do.  They go to channel 360 or 202.  They turn it on and it\u2019s there.  Now you get a note saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah! You\u2019ve got to watch in standard definition.” They\u2019ve obviously having a trouble with the HD download.  Only on those two channels.  Maybe it\u2019s more than those.  It could be one of the transponders which features a lot of channels but I didn\u2019t check but those two.  But it\u2019s okay, because we have cable back-up.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Okay.  Ever since I\u2019ve expressed the problems we were having here with DirecTV, not being able to receive the Fox News Channel or CNN, we have been besieged with phone calls from listeners who are telling us that Fox News is unavailable in their neighborhood.  A number of people think that this is a conspiracy based on what they\u2019re saying to Mr. Snerdley, the official program observer and call screener of the program. <\/p>\n

Many people think that it\u2019s only in their neighborhoods where there are Trump signs.  It\u2019s not the case, my friends.  I now have the DirecTV outage map that they are publishing.  Would you like to know my take on this map?  It looks like all of Florida except the panhandle has been affected by the DirecTV outage.  In this case it means no Fox News and no CNN. <\/p>\n

Also, I just got a note from Cookie who is manning the production team up in New York where our audio sound bites are assembled.  She just lost Fox News and CNN up there on DirecTV.  Now, we\u2019re backed up on cable everywhere.  We\u2019re redundant, because we are a highly broadcast specialty operation.  We don\u2019t leave anything to chance.  So we\u2019re covered.  Even in my home I have redundancies on these kinds of things.  But many people don\u2019t. <\/p>\n

The second largest area of outage on the DirecTV — what do you think it is?  Just take a wild guess.  Florida is the biggest outage on their map.  What do you think the second biggest area of the country with DirecTV — (interruption) No. <\/p>\n

North Carolina is right.  It looks like pretty much the entire East Coast except for a little bit of North Carolina, half of South Carolina, looks like Georgia\u2019s okay except for Atlanta.  But from Long Island, New York City, all the way down, North Carolina looks like the whole state is affected by the outage.  Ditto Florida. <\/p>\n

Now, again this outage is weird.  I didn\u2019t check every channel obviously, but we\u2019re able to watch. In New York the Fox News Channel No. 360 is just black.  It\u2019s dark.  And CNN with Channel 202 is the Golf Channel.  The Golf Channel is what you get when you tune into 202 in New York.  We get nothing here in Florida.  Channel 360 we get a page telling us to call customer service or to set up our downlink, like the thing\u2019s just out of the box. <\/p>\n

When we turn to CNN, we get something.  It\u2019s like the audience channel No. 1 or some such thing.  You\u2019ve got the Golf Channel on CNN in New York.  And the usual accompaniment, we\u2019re working on it.  We\u2019ll get to it as soon as we can.  This is the kind of thing in this day and age, most people do not have a backup, other than maybe pick up something over the air.  But Fox and CNN are cable, they\u2019re not on the air, you can\u2019t pick them up.  So people are going to think they\u2019re being toyed with, that their primary news source is being purposely covered. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, the DirecTV outage. I guess I should address this.  It\u2019s now LA.  Some people are reporting to me that only the Fox News Channel is out, that they\u2019re able to watch CNN. That\u2019s…  I haven\u2019t experienced that.  In every place I\u2019ve heard about it or where we have it, both channels are down.  You can watch anything else on DirecTV, but Fox News and CNN are down.  I didn\u2019t check MSNBC. I could, but I\u2019m not going to go to the trouble because I wouldn\u2019t watch it even if I could.  So… (interruption) What? You mean they\u2019re back? (interruption)  Oh, they\u2019re back. <\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019ll try to see if we\u2019re back here.  We haven\u2019t checked.  We\u2019ll do that during the break. But I just got a note during the break that they\u2019ve lost Los Angeles. We\u2019ve got a friend in Los Angeles who says that it\u2019s out. We\u2019re checking it down here in the southern command even as we speak.  But I don\u2019t know. (interruption) You think hack? This was a hack? (laughing) You think the Russians! (laughing) The Russians. (laughing) The Russians did it!  It is curious that it\u2019s just CNN and Fox, is it not? <\/p>\n

(interruption) What\u2019s your football question?  Tony Romo? (interruption) Right.  They will stick with Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys.  Snerdley is a Cowboy fan and he\u2019s heard that Romo is back practicing.  I don\u2019t think Romo is ready to be activated yet.  But the people that report on Romo say he\u2019s out there. He\u2019s lost a lot of weight.  He\u2019s moving around great, throwing bullets, making it look like he\u2019s ready to come back.  Don\u2019t forget these players have their own PR agencies too. (interruption) Oh, sure! Players hire PR people.<\/p>\n

Agents and all that handle that for them.  But I think I saw a story that was quoting Stephen Jones, executive vice president, son of Jerry Jones.  He said something to the effect, “Hey, Tony knows.  Tony Romo, he knows that we\u2019ve got to keep doing what\u2019s best for the team.”  So the Cowboys have their own PR people, too.  There\u2019s no reason to sit Dak Prescott down, not this far into things. I don\u2019t see it happening.  I could be wrong, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen. <\/p>\n

The Atlantic Pretends There Are People Who Love Hillary Clinton<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:  You want to talk about an alternative universe? You know this magazine, The Atlantic? It\u2019s really a screwball place.  There\u2019s a long profile today in The Atlantic, and you know what the subject is?  “Why America Loves Hillary Clinton.”  America doesn\u2019t love Hillary Clinton.  Hillary Clinton\u2019s disapproval numbers, her negatives are over 50%.  Her polling levels support in many polls is under 50%.  But that doesn\u2019t stop them creating phony PR.<\/p>\n

94.6 Million Americans Not Working<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Have you seen the jobs numbers? There are 94.6 million Americans not working.  To put this in perspective, do you know what this number was when George Bush left office in 2008?  It was 80,380,000. Fourteen million people have lost jobs and are not working in the Barack Obama administration in the eight years that he\u2019s been in office. There are 94.6 million Americans not working.  <\/p>\n

HUGE: Rolling Stone Reporter Found Liable for Fake Rape Story<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH:  This is big news, folks.  Rolling Stone magazine reporter, I just got the alert, Rolling Stone magazine reporter has been found liable in the lawsuit over the discredited article about gang rape that she made up at the University of Virginia.  Rolling Stone found a phantom source, a woman named Jackie, that made up a story about being gang raped.  Rolling Stone ran the story.  None of it was true.  So a member of the executive, whatever you call them, the board at UVA, University of Virginia, sued Rolling Stone and the info babe, the reporterette. <\/p>\n

You know, this is mindboggling, folks.  I was reading a couple of blogs in the last couple of days and they were analyzing this as though the reporter was going to win the case and not be found liable.  I said, “What world are you living in here?”  They were getting into the minutia of the trial and how evidence had been presented.  When the reporter was first challenged with the prospect that she had made the whole thing up, her reaction is classic of her generation, “Well, it may not all have been true, but it\u2019s happening nevertheless and people need to be alerted to it.” <\/line><\/p>\n

But you made it up. <\/p>\n

“Well, maybe, but it\u2019s happening.  It\u2019s happening in America and people need to know.” <\/p>\n

But you made it up.  You just slimed a bunch of people.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s happening.” <\/p>\n

Anyway, she\u2019s been found liable.  I\u2019m surprised it took as long as it did.  It\u2019s a civil suit, but I\u2019m still surprised it took as long as it did.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah, this Rolling Stone reporterette, her name was Sabrina Erdely.  Sabrina Rubin Erdely.  When she was challenged with the accuracy over the fact that she made up the story of gang rape at a frat house at UVA.  (imitating Erdely) “Well, maybe, maybe, but it happens, and women need to know it happens and rape culture in America.”  But you made this up. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like Dan Rather. You remember what Dan Rather said when confronted with the fact that his documents regarding Bush and the National Guard were fake.  He said (imitating Rather), “They may be, but they\u2019re accurate.”  That\u2019s what he said.  Dan Rather: They may be fake, but they\u2019re accurate.  Meaning, we know this happened.  Yeah, we made up the documents, but we know it happened. <\/p>\n

They also said, “Dan, you know these documents are fake?” <\/p>\n

“I want to break that story.”  You just did.  But then what did they do?  They circled the wagons. Tom Brokaw and Jennings scheduled a special dinner for the American left journalists to award Dan Rather, to protect journalism, to protect liberalism after Dan Rather had blown it up.  They circled the wagons.  They protect each other.  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
