It\u2019s not recent. It\u2019s been a long time. By 6:30 in the evening, you know everything you\u2019re going to know that day in the news. There\u2019s nothing you learn turning on the television at 6:30 or 7pm that you can\u2019t know by 12 noon or 4 o\u2019clock in the afternoon. It doesn\u2019t matter &#8212; and it\u2019s been that way for years. When David Brinkley decided to retire we got a stable of replacements for some of their time-honored reporters. We got people like Terry Moran at the White House, a veritable milk-drinking little kid, and then we got Jake Tapper. Excuse me? From, what, Salon magazine?! An Internet magazine that nobody ever read. We stopped getting people in the networks that had worked their way up through affiliates and local stations and had established credentials as journalists. <\/line><BR\/>We started getting young punks, kids, to go out and relate to this 18-to-24-year-old demographic and to hell with journalistic standards, credentials and experience. When George Stephanopoulos was given the job of This Week with whoever on ABC, that, to me, if you really want to trace when the networks admitted that the way they used to do it couldn\u2019t be done anymore, that is the day that I think signaled the end. But it\u2019s been a steady erosion. They\u2019ve been losing audience since 1985 on the network newscasts. Dan Rather finished <emphasize>third <\/emphasize>last night. Big deal. Nothing new about that. He\u2019s been third for 10 years or more. The idea that this somehow is this big a story is just, to me it tells me how much people want to hold onto the past, some people, and at the same time tells me just how unaware some people are of what\u2019s happening around them. <\/line><BR\/>And that\u2019s all to our benefit because it continues to allow people like me and others to sneak up on everybody, because they\u2019re still holding onto these great traditions of the past and they are that: they\u2019re great, and they are traditions, and there was a Golden Age at one time for those, but it\u2019s not now, and this does not signal the end of it. The end of the Golden Age began a long, long, long time ago when it came to television. Hell, look at your local TV news. When you were growing up do you remember your local TV news actually meaning something to you? You watch your local TV news today and it\u2019s nothing but traffic, weather, car crashes, and as much blood and guts as they can squeeze in there. (program observer interruption) Feature reports on what? What traffic jams are going to be tomorrow and how you can avoid them? How to find love? Sure.<\/line><BR\/> I\u2019m going to tell you something. Let me tell you, the thing that has changed &#8212; allow me, my friends, as an expert, and a highly trained broadcast specialist &#8212; the thing that has changed television, and it has changed, television news, national and local &#8212; the thing that has changed it, and the thing that has been more responsible for changing it than anything else, is radio. <emphasize>This <\/emphasize>is the Golden Age of Radio. They say the Golden Age of Radio was back in the \u201930s and \u201940s before TV was invented and I\u2019m not going to deny that was a great era. But back then, all there was radio. You really had no choice. Then TV came along and of course that signaled the end of radio, and hello television. Now, it is radio that is being imitated on TV. It is radio that is being blamed by Democratic presidential candidates for their defeats. Thank you, John Kerry, for once again doing that. It is radio that is determining much of what is happening to TV today, and this is something that nobody in TV, of course, wants to admit so you never hear this in their mix.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/11\/24\/business\/media\/24watch.html?oref=login\">New York Times<\/a> today has an interesting take on the Dan Rather step-down, if you will: &#8220;Two Anchormen Down. One More to Go?&#8221; And I don\u2019t want to read the whole story to you. Just one element of it, and an observation. They talk about how Jennings is hoping that with Brokaw flying the coop and Rather flying the coop that everybody is going to watch World News Tonight so they\u2019ve decided to come up with a new promo campaign to make Jennings more appealing. I\u2019m just going to read to you what it says here. This is Alessandra Stanley, writing in the New York Times: &#8220;Since the summer, ABC has tried to recast the somewhat brittle, urbane Mr. Jennings as warm and caring. Mr. Jennings says softly in a misty promotional ad that makes him out to be a kind of social worker. &#8216;I get up every day thinking that something is going to happen in the world that I didn\u2019t know about yesterday, and I have the opportunity to help people understand what it means.'&#8221; (sighing)<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/cable_news_killed_rathers_era_long_ago.Par.0006.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"210\" height=\"182\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> They will never learn. They will <emphasize>never <\/emphasize>learn. &#8220;I get up every day thinking&#8230;&#8221; and this is supposed to make him less brittle and less urbane? &#8220;I get up every day thinking&#8230;&#8221; What\u2019s wrong with this? They wrote this. They wanted this to be said. They put these words in Jennings\u2019 mouth. I ask you people: What\u2019s wrong with this? &#8220;I get up every day thinking that something is going to happen in the world that I didn\u2019t know about yesterday, and I have the opportunity to help people understand what it means.&#8221; Mr. Snerdley says, &#8220;We don\u2019t need his help to understand the news.&#8221; You\u2019ve just nailed it, Mr. Snerdley. He\u2019s supposed to tell us what happened yesterday that we didn\u2019t know that he now knows. He\u2019s supposed to tell us what happened. <\/line><BR\/>But this added touch, what it all means, you see, that\u2019s where these people still are stuck in the trouble that they\u2019re in and don\u2019t understand it &#8212; and I dare say I think that network newscasts have become more a curiosity factor than they\u2019ve ever been. If I ever watched the network news, do you know why I watch it now? Can I be honest? Not because I need them to tell things to me that I don\u2019t understand. I watch them to see how they\u2019re going to spin things so that the people who do watch will not understand what it really means. I want to watch the spin. I get more thrills watching them spin events that I already know about, so that their viewers will not know what it means than I get anything out of watching it to learn something I didn\u2019t know. <\/line><BR\/>That\u2019s the whole point. They <emphasize>can\u2019t <\/emphasize>tell us what we don\u2019t know anymore because we all know it by 6:30, except for the, you know, there\u2019s a group of people that hasn\u2019t gotten into the new cable revolution and Internet and all that. They\u2019re out there and the network news is still for them, but that\u2019s a dwindling and dwindling number. This is in parentheses in the story. &#8220;(Mr. Jennings undercut that image in Boston last July with a remark aimed at Mr. Brokaw, saying his broadcast rival viewed the Democratic political convention &#8216;as a social occasion.\u2019)&#8221; Rather than a hard news event, Brokaw viewed it as a social occasion. Another dirty little secret uncovered. They all look at all of these things as social occasions. <\/line><BR\/>They all live in Manhattan and they all go out to the Hamptons and if they don\u2019t stop there, they go to Martha\u2019s Vineyard and they claim they leave New York to get away from the hustle and bustle, but the same group goes everywhere and they party and socialize with the same group. Wherever the Democrats go, that\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the anchors &#8212; and that\u2019s why they\u2019re thinking of sending foreign correspondents into the red states. That\u2019s why I got such a thrill when they all had to go to Arkansas for the Clinton Library. Oh, and folks! Some people have dug deep and found out a lot of the people who are paying big money to support the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor &#8212; I don\u2019t have the story right in front of me, it\u2019s coming up but I\u2019m not willing to say a majority, but so much of the money is Arab. <\/line><BR\/> You will be surprised at this. Now, I told you. Now, you shouldn\u2019t be surprised at some of it because I mentioned to you sometime this year when a lot of things happened during this heated campaign, and, you know, one of the charges against Bush was he\u2019s in bed with the Saudi royal family. I said, &#8220;Folks, every modern president in the modern era has his presidential library contributed to in great part by the Saudi government. They all do. That explains the tie.&#8221; I think it goes back to Eisenhower, to tell you the truth. It may even go further than that, but certainly Eisenhower. There just has been this link. Make of it what you want. I\u2019m just giving you information. I\u2019m not telling you what to think about it, and I\u2019m not trying to tell you here what you should understand about it. I\u2019m just passing the information along to you.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>This New York Times story, it\u2019s a front page story on the Rather resignation, has a subtext to it, and that is that this is all because of his flagrant anti-Bush obsession, which I find amazing for the Times to even reference in subtext fashion because in the same story they ignore their <emphasize>own <\/emphasize>anti-Bush hatred, which was palpable and which was constant and in which they worked with CBS on a couple of stories. But somehow that connection isn\u2019t mentioned in this story on Dan Rather\u2019s demise. So not just CBS cutting Rather loose, but so is little &#8220;Pinch&#8221; Sulzberger and the editorial crowd at the New York Times. Just waving him good-bye, cutting him loose and saying, &#8220;So long. <emphasize>Sayonara<\/emphasize>.&#8221; John, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lasr.net\/pages\/city.php?City_ID=KS0106036\">Fort Riley, Kansas<\/a>, you\u2019re up first today on the phones. Great to have you with us, sir.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.riley.army.mil\/\">military<\/a> broadcast dittos to you. I\u2019ve listened to you since 1989 and, sir, this is an honor to talk to you.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: That you, sir, very much. I appreciate that.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I have a question. Do you think that CBS could repair their credibility damage and bring in listeners in the red states if they hired a conservative as their news anchor?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No. Well, no, wait. I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m answering the wrong question. They will never do it.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: You don\u2019t think they could bring a Brit Hume in or somebody like that with credibility with the big three networks and put him as the anchor and maybe take people away from Fox and the red states that have watched Fox News?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/cable_news_killed_rathers_era_long_ago.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignright\"\/> RUSH: I\u2019m going to tell you what would happen. I\u2019ll tell you exactly what would happen. Let\u2019s just use Brit Hume as an example. Let\u2019s say that they offered Brit Hume the gig, and let\u2019s say Brit Hume accepted it. If Brit Hume went over there and accepted it, he would be the recipient of so many knives in the back by everybody else in the news division. This is an institutional problem that exists in the networks. There\u2019s not one individual in the anchor chair, especially, that\u2019s going to change this. It\u2019s just like no conservative reporter or columnist changes the focus of a liberal newspaper. This is another thing about the anchor. The anchor, in Britain they call them presenters, and that\u2019s what they are, and that\u2019s what the anchors here are. There\u2019s this great illusion that these guys are out there reporting stories every day.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, it\u2019s like you said a long time ago, Rush. There\u2019s two different types of people. Reporters report the news. Journalists put themselves in the middle of the story and we have too many journalists and not enough reporters these days.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: That\u2019s a good way of putting it. It really is. But you\u2019ve got &#8212; I mean Mary Mapes is not the only Mary Mapes at CBS, for example. I mean, if they really are serious about this, they\u2019re going to have to clean house. One person in the anchor chair is not going to, at all, change &#8212; because the anchor is not, even if they name him managing editor &#8212; he\u2019s not going to be in charge of the reporting that goes on and the stories he reports. He may try but he\u2019ll be stabbed in the back so many times that it will be a pointless exercise. You know, a lot of people say, &#8220;Look, they all do the same things. Why don\u2019t one of these networks chart a new course?&#8221; Well, look, there is a network that\u2019s done that. It\u2019s the Fox News Channel. Look what all the institutionally liberal networks think of it. &#8220;It\u2019s phony! It\u2019s fake! It\u2019s fraudulent. It\u2019s McNews or not news,&#8221; or what have you. You have to understand, liberalism is a religion. It is an institution. It is not something that people who hold it will abandon, particularly now. So that\u2019s why many people are suggesting in the e-mail, by the way, that I should be named anchor at CBS News. <\/line><BR\/>You talk about taking me out of a realm of dominant influence and putting me somewhere where I don\u2019t matter, and a pay cut, you put me in an anchor chair at one of the networks. If you want to send me into instant irrelevance, and if you want to make me poor, then you send me to an anchor chair at one of the networks. Compared to what I have as an opportunity here to what is presented in 30 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever it is, in the anchor chair at one of the networks. It\u2019s mythology that supports all this. It\u2019s mythology that\u2019s dying. It\u2019s this great mythology that there is still some terrific relevance. It\u2019s like on Election Night we couldn\u2019t call Ohio because the networks wouldn\u2019t call it. Well, we all <emphasize>knew <\/emphasize>who won Ohio. NBC and Fox went ahead and did it, but the Kerry people got on the phone and they stopped CNN and CBS and ABC from making the call, and of course this is the kind of thing that feeds the notion the networks are all-powerful, and the networks believe the presidential race is not over till they make the call. There\u2019s not one vote counted by the networks. So all the networks can do is screw things up like they did in 2000 by prematurely calling Florida. But this is why this mythology of power and dominance still reins supreme and exists, when it\u2019s not. I mean, they\u2019ve lost it but they\u2019re the people with the power. They\u2019re the last to admit it and the last to recognize it, and in the process, they\u2019re still holding onto their traditions and what\u2019s comfortable to them. Change is new and new is hard, and they\u2019re just not yet ready to do any of that quick folks.<\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/cable_news_killed_rathers_era_long_ago.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, it wasn\u2019t immediate, of course, but it has been a long time.
