RUSH: Let\u2019s head on now to the ongoing Newsweek story. This is a Washington Post story. The Washington Post has, at least as far as I count, three stories today on this. The first one I want to call your attention to by Howard Kurtz, our old buddy who is their media analyst there. “The debate over a retracted Newsweek report broadened yesterday into an argument about media and government ethics.” What debate? What debate is there that\u2019s going on? Newsweek retracted a story. Would somebody tell me what there is to debate? Well, Howard says that the debate here is about, “media, government, ethics, the White House urging the magazine to help undo the harm to American interests and critics accusing the administration of trying to deflect attention from its own deceptions.<\/p>\n

\"\"Lawmakers of both parties entered the fray on Capitol Hill. Fortney ‘Pete\u2019 Stark, California, charged the White House with hypocrisy. He said, ‘The administration is chastising Newsweek for a story that contained a fact that turned out to be false. This is the same administration that lied to the Congress the United Nations the American people by fabricating reasons to send us to war.'” We\u2019re back to that again. Bush lied? Bush lied. Bush didn\u2019t lie about anything! I thought, you know, Newsweek got it wrong. Bush got it wrong. It\u2019s pap. It\u2019s just absolutely crazy.<\/p>\n

Media Research Center has put together a little summary: Reporters Come to Newsweek\u2019s Defense, Suggest the Story is Really True. “Following the ‘fake but accurate\u2019 theme espoused by some to defend CBS\u2019s use of forged memos to get President Bush, in the wake of Newsweek\u2019s retraction late Monday of its claim that a military report would include the charge that a guard at Guantanamo flushed a Koran down a toilet, journalistic colleagues came to Newsweek\u2019s defense. CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper proposed: ‘Is it beyond the realm of possibility that a tactic like this was used?\u2019 CBS and ABC passed along allegations from prisoners. Richard Roth of CBS recalled: ‘Detainees released in 2003 came home claiming American guards had routinely provoked them by sitting on the Koran, or putting pages in a toilet.\u2019 ABC\u2019s Martha Raddatz argued: ‘The Newsweek article was not the first time U.S. personnel have been accused of desecrating the Koran.<\/p>\n

Last year, this British detainee released from Guantanamo said guards ‘would kick the Koran, throw it into the toilet and generally disrespect it.\u2019 Later, on Monday\u2019s Nightline, John Donvan suggested: ‘What really goes on at Guantanamo Bay, no one really knows.\u2019 Anchor Chris Bury asked that ‘given the other abuses\u2019 of prisoners by the U.S., ‘does Newsweek deserve all the blame, assuming that its story was incorrect?'” They retracted it, for crying out loud! What is this assuming it\u2019s incorrect? So now the media circling the wagons. “Hey this stuff happens anyway. We know it happens because the detainees tell us it happens, it happens. So maybe Newsweek was wrong but maybe they\u2019re right.”<\/p>\n

“Bob Schieffer, matching the view of those hostile to the U.S. in the Muslim world, painted Newsweek\u2019s retraction as coming only after ‘pressure\u2019 from the White House. ‘Under pressure from the White House,\u2019 Schieffer teased Monday\u2019s CBS Evening News, ‘Newsweek today retracted a story that led to deadly rioting in Afghanistan.\u2019 Schieffer introduced his lead story by outlining how ‘over the weekend, Newsweek said its source could no longer confirm the report, and the magazine\u2019s editor apologized. Then, late today, under pressure from the White House, Newsweek retracted the entire story.'” The White House made \u2019em do it. Well, hey, you know, Bob, if that\u2019s true, why aren\u2019t you mad at music for buckling to the pressure? Why aren\u2019t you mad at Newsweek? What are you beating up on the administration for? None of this makes any sense.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites, shall we? Those are just a couple of examples. Well, wait. I\u2019ll give you two more. Washington Post, Carol Leonnig, I think is how she pronounces her name. (snide, superior, elitist media columnist impression) “Desecration of Koran Had Been Reported Before — Newsweek magazine\u2019s now-retracted story that a military guard at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, flushed a copy of the Koran down a toilet has sparked angry denunciations by the White House and the Pentagon, which have linked the article to Muslim riots and deaths abroad. But American and international media have widely reported similar allegations from detainees and others of desecration of the Muslim holy book for more than two years.<\/p>\n

The difference is, of course, that Isikoff and Newsweek claim the allegation was confirmed in a Pentagon review,” but that they didn\u2019t produce the report, they just had one source. That\u2019s what they claim. They claim the government confirmed this; not a bunch of detainees with a bias. So it\u2019s apparent to me, folks, the media they think we\u2019re as stupid as they come — as they come to the defense of the indefensible. And that\u2019s basically what\u2019s happening here. They\u2019re trying to defend the indefensible.<\/p>\n

\"\"Try this from Anne Applebaum in the Washington Post: “Blaming the Messenger — ‘It\u2019s appalling that this story got out there,\u2019 said the secretary of state. ‘Shaky from the very get-go,\u2019 thundered the White House spokesman. ‘We\u2019ve not found any wrongdoing on the part of U.S. servicemembers,\u2019 declared the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Outrage filled the airwaves this week as administration officials took turns denouncing Newsweek\u2019s brief report of alleged desecrations of the Koran at Guantanamo Bay. But among the many declarations of shock, shock, shock, among the multiple expressions of self-righteous horror at the riots the story sparked in Afghanistan, only one reflected any hint of self-reflection, any sense that this story might be more than just another mainstream media screw-up. ‘People need to be very careful about what they say,\u2019 said the secretary of defense, “just as they need to be very careful about what they do.'” So now they\u2019re trying to turn the tables and blame the messenger. This is all Newsweek\u2019s fault. (sniveling liberal journalist impression) “They\u2019re just the messenger! After all we\u2019ve heard this story countless times.”<\/p>\n

Newsweek retracted its story. “We don\u2019t care about that. We all know the story is true. If not in this instance, in other instances, and we\u2019ve heard it.” These people are above criticism in their own minds. They can\u2019t handle it. They don\u2019t think they deserve it. They think that it is just unconscionable that anybody would criticize them. They have a protected perch. They get to destroy lives; they get to criticize people. They get to do all these things, but you can\u2019t turn it around to them. You turn it around on them, and they are outraged. Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites now. We have three. This is from the yesterday\u2019s White House press briefing. Terry Moran of ABC said, “Scott, (meaning McClellan, the spokesman) you said that the retraction by Newsweek magazine of its story is a good first step. What else does the president want this American magazine to do?”<\/p>\n

\"\"MCCLELLAN: People did lose their lives. The image of the United States abroad has been damaged. There is lasting damage to our image because of this report, and we would encourage Newsweek to do all that they can to help repair the damage that has been done, particularly in the region, and I think Newsweek can do that by talking about the way they got this wrong and pointing out what the policies and practices of the United States military are when it comes to the handling of the holy Koran.<\/p>\n

The military put in place policies and procedures to make sure that the Koran was handled, or is handled with the utmost care and respect — and I think it would help to point that out, because some have taken this report. Those that are opposed the United States, some have taken this report and exploited it and used it to incite violence.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So this continues. This next question from Terry Moran is what he followed up with.<\/p>\n

MORAN: With respect, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it\u2019s appropriate for you at that podium speaking with the authority of the president of the United States, to tell an American magazine what they should print?<\/p>\n

MCCLELLAN: I\u2019m not telling them, I\u2019m saying that we would encourage them to help —<\/p>\n

MORAN: (interrupting) You\u2019re pressuring them.<\/p>\n

MCCLELLAN: No, I\u2019m saying we would encourage them. This report caused serious damage to the image of the United States abroad and Newsweek has said that they got it wrong. You know, I think Newsweek recognizes the responsibility they have. We appreciate the step that they took by retracting this story. Now we would encourage them to move forward and do all that they can to help repair the damage that has been done by this report.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, I have a question. Is there something intellectually to disagree with there? All right, so here you have Newsweek which runs this story that they retract that a Koran was flushed down the toilet. Newsweek retracts it. The people over in the Middle East that are affected by this in Afghanistan, say. “We don\u2019t belieeeeeve the Newsweek retraction. We don\u2019t belieeeeeve it.” Meanwhile, the US has published — I\u2019ve seen them all over the place; I haven\u2019t bothered to print them out, but — these guidelines on how to deal with the Koran. They make me mad, quite honestly. We\u2019re not running a prison. It sounds like we\u2019re running Romper Room here! I mean we\u2019ve never fought a war this way. We\u2019ve never fought a war with the federal judiciary comes in and tells the president what he can and can\u2019t do with prisoners of war. Now we got all these requirements. You can\u2019t do this to the Koran, can\u2019t do that to the Koran.<\/p>\n

They can blow us up any time they want; we cannot take measures necessary to find out who did it and how to prevent it from happening again — and so McClellan says, “We hope they would do a little bit more than just retract this. Our image has been damaged.” “Who are you to be the editor of Newsweek? I mean, who made you the editor of Newsweek? Do you think it\u2019s appropriate for you, speaking with the authority of the president, to tell an American magazine what they should print?” “I\u2019m not telling them what they should print.” What have I always said about the media? The media is the one business where the consumer is always wrong. Whatever the consumer thinks, consumer is an idiot, consumer doesn\u2019t know diddly-squat. “Who are you to tell us what to do?”<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason these people are losing audience, readers, circulation, viewers, what have it and it\u2019s embodied there. But this whole line continued. This is Elisabeth Bumiller now, of the New York Times, and she is outraged by this. She\u2019s just outraged that McClellan suggesting Newsweek do a little bit more. She won\u2019t let McClellan answer her question. She gets nasty. Listen to this.<\/p>\n

\"\"BUMILLER: What specifically are you asking Newsweek to do? I mean, to follow up on Terry\u2019s question. Are you saying they should write a story? Are you going that far? How else can Newsweek, you know, satisfy you here?<\/p>\n

MCCLELLAN: Well, as I said, we would encourage them to continue working diligently to help repair the damage that has been done because of this —<\/p>\n

BUMILLER: Write a story?<\/p>\n

MCCLELLAN: — because of this report. I think Newsweek is going to be in the best position to determine how to achieve that and there are ways that I\u2019ve pointed out that they can help repair the damage. One way is to point out what the policies and practices of our United States military are. Our United States military personnel go out of their way to make sure that the holy Koran is treated with care —<\/p>\n

BUMILLER: (scoffs) You want them to write a story about how great the American military is? Is that what you are you\u2019re saying here?<\/p>\n

MCCLELLAN: Elisabeth, let me finish my sentence.<\/p>\n

BUMILLER: (Laughs mockingly) I know what – I know how it ends.<\/p>\n

MCCLELLAN: No, I\u2019m coming to your question, and you\u2019re not letting me have a chance to respond. Our military goes out of the way to handle the Koran with care and respect. There are policies and practices there are in place. This report was wrong. Newsweek itself stated that it was wrong, and so now I think it\u2019s incumbent and responsible for Newsweek to do their part to help repair the damage.<\/p>\n

RUSH: “So what are you doing? Are you suggesting that we run a story about how great the American military is,” as though that\u2019s such a foreign concept? “What do you want us to do, write a story about how great the US military is?” No, how about just writing a story that does detail how to Koran is treated? At any rate, let me tell you what\u2019s going on here, folks. I mentioned this during the campaign, and this is a good time to review this. I found it very strange during the campaign that Democrats would nominate a hero from the Vietnam War — “hero” in quotes. That would be John Kerry if you\u2019ve forgotten. He served in Vietnam, by the way. I found this strange because they hate that war.<\/p>\n

\"\"These media types, the sixties types, they came of age in the Vietnam War, and as Howard Fineman has written, that\u2019s when the press actually became another political party — not just an institution, not just an organization, not just a line of work. They became a political party because they saw the power that they had. They had the ability to reverse public opinion on a war, and then they got Richard Nixon out of office so they really got swelled heads, and now everything must assume the same shape and form as Vietnam and Watergate. So Iraq is Vietnam, and they automatically assume the template is: It\u2019s unjust, it is immoral.<\/p>\n

It is ignoble. It can\u2019t be worth fighting for. There\u2019s nothing here of any value. Bush lied, blah, blah, blah, and so the template is: America is wrong.<\/p>\n

America is evil. America deserves to lose, and we\u2019re going to find evidence to prove what we already know to be true even though we can\u2019t prove it. And so they go out and they assume that all these stories the detainees are telling are true because they believe the American military is bad, and that America doesn\u2019t deserve to win this war because it\u2019s unjust, ignoble, and just evil — and you look at Bush and the National Guard. That\u2019s the new Watergate. They just tried and tried and tried and tried.<\/p>\n

So the way to understand these people in this Newsweek instance and everything else is just understand the way they\u2019re looking at events today is shaped by two events that shaped them: the Vietnam War and Watergate, and as far as Republicans are concerned, they\u2019re all Richard Nixons and all wars are Vietnam. The US doesn\u2019t deserve to be in them; we don\u2019t deserve to win them. In fact, we deserve to lose. We are immoral. We are unjust. We don\u2019t deserve it. It\u2019s unfair. We\u2019re at superpower. These little people don\u2019t have a chance. All of our injuries are deserved, blah, blah, blah. You can go on and on; you can fill in the blanks yourself. But that\u2019s the template that forms the basis on which a Newsweek article like this or a little story gets written.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: (A-Ha bumper music) As part of the template to understand, you\u2019ve gotta realize this. Who are the media citing in their stories today? “Oh, well, we know this happened, while the detainees come out and say so.” So notice, the militant Islamist detainees from the group of people that wishes the United States to basically cease to exist, they never lie. They never lie. US troops, US government, always lies. The detainees can\u2019t possibly be lying. Why, if they say the Koran was flushed down a toilet, by God it was. Whether they can prove it or not it was because the template is the US is evil, unjust, ignoble and doesn\u2019t deserve to be in this war and doesn\u2019t deserve to win it; they deserve to lose it. If you just understand that, all of this will make sense to you — in a perverted way — but it will make sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
