My dear audience, I\u2019m so proud of you people, how nice you are, how loyal you are. But mostly, what makes me swell with pride is how informed you are. I would put you up against any audience of any news source. I don\u2019t care, put it on radio, put it on television, put it in print, and especially you are so much more informed than readers of the New York Times, and I cannot tell you, both personally and professionally, how much pride I have in that. This has been documented by the Pew Center for People in the Press. You have been rated the most knowledgeable and informed audience in all of broadcast media. Now, let\u2019s go back to last week, just as an illustration of this. If I were to ask you what were the most important news items of the month of July, right up there probably near the top, if not numero uno itself would be the op-ed in the New York Times by the two guys from Brookings which said, &#8216;Hey, we might be able to win this thing. The surge is working.\u2019 And it appeared where? It appeared in the New York Times. <\/p>\n<p>I read, told you about it, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve read it. I\u2019ll bet you there isn\u2019t anybody at the New York Times, maybe Jim Rutenberg, who listens to this program, for example. But we expose ourselves to what they are doing, a war we just might win. That probably, especially in the last week of the month of July, if I were to take a survey of you, this audience, I\u2019m sure it would be at the top of the list if not close. Now, what did New York Times readers think were the most important stories? The Times, if you go to their website, will tell you which of their stories are the most read articles of the month. Do you know what the number one &#8212; according to the Times &#8212; the number one most read article of the month in their newspaper and on their website was? &#8216;An epic showdown as Harry Potter is initiated into adulthood.\u2019 That\u2019s the number one story in the New York Times website. That\u2019s what they say about their own website. The Harry Potter book, number one. But it gets better. The number two most read, distributed story, New York Times, &#8216;Summer express, 100 simple meals ready in ten minutes or less.\u2019 I am not making this up. Number three, top-read story, New York Times, a $135 million home. But if you have to ask if the class warfare crowd wants to read about $135 million estates, of course they do. The number four most read story in the New York Times, according to their own website, letters from an 18-year-old Hillary Rodham to her then-boyfriend. <\/p>\n<p>Nowhere in the top five of the New York Times\u2019 most-read stories is that column, &#8216;We Just Might Win in Iraq.\u2019 They claim to have the newspaper of record. They claim to have their pulse on all the news that\u2019s fit to print. But I\u2019ll tell you, if that\u2019s what their audience on their website is reading, in that order and what they consider to be the most important, what they\u2019re passing around, and I have to tell you, folks, we are so far ahead of the game, I can\u2019t tell you how proud of you I am, because I know that if I were able to take a survey much like this &#8212; andI\u2019m not going to count our website. On our website we have the top four, top five rank, I think it\u2019s top ten, and I haven\u2019t even looked to see what they are, but it\u2019s not quite the same thing. I looked at this, what the Times\u2019 readers think is the most important, and I was excited, because I know they have a mindless, really mindless, just holes in-their-head audience. And I don\u2019t. I have you, and I think it\u2019s fabulous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to tell you &#8212; and I mean this from the bottom of my heart &#8212; how proud I am of you.
