Thanks for waiting, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Master Limbaugh! Terra dittos on every single subject across the board that lifts off your glorious tongue, sir.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Thank you, sir. (Laughing.)<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Hey, I\u2019m a financial investor, and getting back on the subject with the media and the stuff that you were on earlier in the program, I\u2019m on the news all day long every single day, and for the last couple weeks I\u2019ve noticed something pretty peculiar and I don\u2019t know if you noticed it.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: What\u2019s that?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because that Osama, or what\u2019s his name? The dictator in Iraq? I forgot that bug\u2019s name. Saddam Hussein was executed &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Saddam Hussein, right. You have a very good memory.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; or it\u2019s because the Democrats have taken over Congress, but I\u2019m not seeing the doom and the gloom and the despair in the news over the past two weeks that I\u2019ve seen from the Drive-By Media.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No, because it has transferred to the United States Senate. They have taken over the job of portraying doom and gloom in Iraq with this silly little resolution that they\u2019re trying to pass. Just in a interview last night, I guess it was this morning Chuck Hagel and Soledad O\u2019Brien and she kept talking about the death count. There may not have been as many pictures of blown-up trucks and burning bodies and so forth. There was a story just the other day about 400 Iraqis died or 30 Iraqis were blown away in some attack.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: Yeah, and there was some today. PMSNBC is showing it but nobody else is, really.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You\u2019re observing that the entire impact, the whole impact is down. They\u2019re not really showing as much mayhem and destruction on a daily basis as frequently?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Right.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/cutting_edge.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\"\/> RUSH: You know, I hate it when a caller calls and I have to say, &#8220;I don\u2019t know,&#8221; but I don\u2019t watch this garbage anymore. I mean, it\u2019s on here when I\u2019m at work. I can\u2019t tell you the last time I had a news network on at home, and from December 22nd until I came back here on January the 3rd, I did not see any news broadcast anywhere, anyplace on television. I can\u2019t tell you how long it\u2019s been. I don\u2019t even turn this stuff on at night, because, frankly, folks, I just don\u2019t believe it! I\u2019m watching bias! I\u2019m watching agendas, and I don\u2019t care to. So I find a way to inform myself in other ways, and I don\u2019t care what these people are doing anymore. I couldn\u2019t care less what happens on Hardball; I couldn\u2019t care less what happens anywhere. I couldn\u2019t care less what happens on Scarborough or any of these other shows. I could not care less &#8212; and when people tell me what happens, I delete the e-mail. I get sick and tired of it. I don\u2019t want to read about it. I don\u2019t want to hear it, because I know. I already know!<\/line><BR\/> I know they\u2019re going nuts. They\u2019re practically having on-air orgasms over Obama. I know that Chris Matthews is about to start cursing. He\u2019s going to lose control here, he\u2019s so excited about the Libby trial. I don\u2019t care! So this is a long way around telling you, &#8220;I don\u2019t know if the coverage has changed.&#8221; All I know is that the Democrats have not changed their attitude about us losing, nor has the media. If there is less coverage of the atrocities or the so-called atrocities of Iraq, then there is a reason for it, and it\u2019s either that there is less of it and there\u2019s more good news they don\u2019t want to report, or as I suspect, the doom and gloom has transferred to the US Senate where the Democrats are providing more of it than war footage can, which I suspect to be &#8212; of course joined by seven cowardly Republicans, which is very exciting. That\u2019s as exciting to the media when Republicans abandon their own party as when an IED blows up in Baghdad. In fact, it may even be more exciting.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Steve in Colorado Springs. Thanks for waiting, sir.
