What it was for, the mosque did have a basement, a bunker system underneath it, but it was <emphasize>very much<\/emphasize> under construction. That was the conclusion of all the reporters there. Um, that was the only conclusion they could draw from what they were shown.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phony_al-Reuters_Photos_Media_Regurgitates_Hezbollah_Propaganda_-07_21_06.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> RUSH: Right. Now, what do we have here? This is a Drive-By Media regurgitating propaganda of a <emphasize>terrorist <\/emphasize>organization. It reminds me &#8212; and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll remember this &#8212; in the first Gulf War, remember when the Iraqis took a contingent of American Drive-By Medias to a blown-up building and there was a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/ogc\/apparatus\/images\/crafting-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\">little white sign<\/a> painted in red letters in English. It said &#8220;Baby Milk Plant,&#8221; and of course the Drive-By Media fell for this. <\/line><BR\/>&#8220;Why, how can the US do this? They blow up a baby milk formula factory! How could this possibly be!&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>The sign was obviously hand-painted. Wasn\u2019t even a good graffiti artist that did it, and it was not even in the Iraqi language. It was just pathetic. So now,<emphasize> of course<\/emphasize>, a bunker system was underneath the mosque. But what mosques doesn\u2019t have a bunker system underneath it? (laughing) I tell you, this is a CNN report, and there\u2019s one thing: people\u2019s memories are short, but I ask you: What are we to do when their former executive Eason Jordan <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wais.stanford.edu\/Iraq\/iraq_theproblemsofcnn41803.html\">wrote<\/a> that famous piece in the New York Times saying &#8212; and he thought he was going to get a Pulitzer Prize for this! He had no idea of the outcry that was going to result from this. <\/line><BR\/>He wrote a piece saying (summarized), &#8220;Well, yeah, we didn\u2019t report a bunch of atrocities that we knew were going on in Iraq committed by Saddam because we needed our bureau here, and if we had been honest on what we had seen, reported what we had seen, we might have lost our position. We might have lost our ability to report from Iraq,&#8221; to which, everybody said, &#8220;What good are your reports if you\u2019re <emphasize>covering up<\/emphasize> atrocities committed by this regime in order to just to stay there? What\u2019s more important, get the truth of what\u2019s going on in Iraq out, or to have a bureau there that essentially reports gobbledy-gook?&#8221; <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Phony_al-Reuters_Photos_Media_Regurgitates_Hezbollah_Propaganda_-07_21_06.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"199\" height=\"281\" class=\"alignright\"\/> I think that was the beginning of the downfall for Mr. Jordan. He then went over to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, not long after and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/articles\/A17462-2005Feb11.html\">claimed<\/a> he had evidence that US troops had <emphasize>orders <\/emphasize>to kill journalists, and Barney Frank (D-MA), My Boy Lollipop (slurping) was even in the audience, had trouble with that one, and it was not long after that Eason Jordan was forced to resign. So here we have the same network, CNN. I know it\u2019s under new management, and Eason Jordan is not there. But we\u2019re we get this report. &#8220;Oh, we were shown and Israelis lied to us. They hit a mosque! They didn\u2019t hit a bunker! They didn\u2019t hit the headquarters of Hezbollah,&#8221; and then on the Today Show today, anchor Ann Curry is in Beirut, and here\u2019s a portion of her report.<\/line><BR\/>CURRY: This morning Hezbollah showed NBC News and other journalists the impact of Israel\u2019s raids overnight on a residential area in Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs, saying bombs struck here from midnight to four a.m. It would have been a massacre, but Hezbollah told us they knew to evacuate residents.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Aw.<\/line><BR\/>CURRY: This Hezbollah spokesman said the US and Israel have miscalculated Hezbollah\u2019s capabilities.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, what a bunch of great guys! What a bunch of great guys! Why, this could have been a bloodbath except Hezbollah knew to evacuate their people. Bush didn\u2019t evacuate Americans!<\/line><BR\/>See, these guys watch CNN and they know <emphasize>exactly <\/emphasize>how to play \u2019em. <\/line><BR\/>&#8220;Yeah, CNN, they\u2019ll fall for this,&#8221; I\u2019m sure this Nasrallah guy is saying. So just a couple of examples here. The media, the Drive-By Media, remain behind the curve as to what a general consensus opinion that\u2019s forming is.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/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\/Phony_al-Reuters_Photos_Media_Regurgitates_Hezbollah_Propaganda_-07_21_06.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to go to the audio sound bites, ladies and gentlemen, to continue here with our discussion on the circumstances in Lebanon and in Israel.
