RUSH: I asked last hour, ‘How many of you are desensitized to this? How many of you, when it first happened — and even now, as the details are pouring in, how many of you — find yourselves desensitized to this?\u2019 If some of you are, let me offer a possible explanation. From the moment this started happening, from the moment the details began pouring in, the Drive-By Media reporting this didn\u2019t cover this as a human massacre, a human tragedy. <\/p>\n

They covered this as a political thing, in a political way. They immediately saw an opportunity here to start advancing their agenda — in this case gun control — and that causes people to say, ‘Okay, wait a minute. You\u2019re gonna start making this into politics? Well, I\u2019m going to defend my side on this.\u2019 So what you have is both sides defending a political decision in the midst of a massacre. So if there\u2019s any desensitization that is taking place out there, in part it could be because of the way that this whole event has been covered and continues to be covered, and we discussed all that throughout the program today, such as the killer\u2019s note about rich kids, debauched American society and so forth. That will fit somebody\u2019s template before long, once they get tired of the gun control. I\u2019ve seen reporters asking some of the students at V Tech, ‘Well, does it remind you of Katrina?\u2019 I\u2019ll tell you something: in this circumstance, their feelings are entirely relevant to explore. That\u2019s what this is about! But the feelings are what get desensitized because of the political nature of the coverage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
