RUSH: The controversy here over the Republicans not participating in the upcoming YouTube CNN debate has led to lots of discussion, as some people think the Republicans are going to have this backfire on them because you gotta go out there and you gotta face the people. If you\u2019re afraid to face the people, meaning the average Americans who upload their questions via video on YouTube, then you\u2019re acting cowardly and so forth. Note the Democrats, to this day are scared to death to go on Fox, you got Barack Obama and Hillary in a meaningless argument over which thug around the world they will talk to when, the fact is, neither of them has the guts to go on Fox News for a debate. But you don\u2019t hear that portrayed in the Drive-By Media. Now the Republicans say, ‘You know what, the office of the presidency is a little bit higher, has a little bit more prejudice than subjecting ourselves to questions from idiots dressed up as snowmen and so forth.\u2019 Now they\u2019re saying it\u2019s going to backfire on them, and this was a discussion on CNN\u2019s Reliable Sources on Sunday with Howard Kurtz. He\u2019s talking with Jeff Jarvis, media critic. Kurtz says, ‘They were supposed to, or at least was tentatively scheduled, a Republican presidential debate with CNN YouTube format for September. Now a lot of the Republicans are expressing reservations, have scheduling problems. Do you think the Republicans are being aware of being questioned by people who submit their queries through YouTube?\u2019 <\/p>\n

JARVIS: I think they\u2019re revealing themselves to be a bunch of fraidy cats. The Republicans for some reason have not done as much on the interpret and YouTube as the Democrats have, though in Europe it\u2019s conservatives who are ahead on YouTube, so it\u2019s not a bias thing as Rush Limbaugh tried to insist this week. I think the Republicans were trying to find some way to weasel out of this, and they used scheduling excuses, bias excuses, dignity excuses, but I think it\u2019s going to come around. I\u2019m going to bet it\u2019s going to happen, and because they can\u2019t avoid talking to us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They are not trying to avoid talking to you. By the way, they\u2019re going to try to reschedule this thing for December, is what I\u2019m hearing. I never said the Republicans shouldn\u2019t do it because of bias. We all know there\u2019s bias in the Drive-By Media. We all know that CNN\u2019s going to choose questions based on their agenda, based on what they get submitted to them. We know there\u2019s going to be bias. I suggested that it would be a rotten thing to do because it\u2019s demeaning to the office. It lowers the office to the level of the lowest common denominator of pop culture. This is being presented as some revolutionary new thing, and it\u2019s not. It\u2019s no different than having an audience in there that you stand around, you run around with a microphone, let \u2019em ask questions and so forth, and you know how well that goes, and you know that they have never turned over, CNN nor any network has never turned over totally a debate to people in the audience. They occasionally go to people in the audience, like the ponytailed guy in Richmond, Virginia, back in 1992 who wanted all those candidates to explain to him how they were going to treat us like their children and so forth, it was gag me with a spoon time on that. If I were these professional journalists, I\u2019d be a little upset that I\u2019m being aced out of this. The Drive-By Media is in enough trouble as it is without their prestige being put on the line here by claiming that the debate will be better with these yahoos sitting out there with these cameras submitting their stuff via upload to YouTube. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
