RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number six. This was Fox News Channel, The O\u2019Reilly Factor last night, O\u2019Reilly speaking with Juan Williams about a recent poll on confidence in the media. It\u2019s bad for the media. I had this story yesterday, didn\u2019t get to it \u2019cause it really isn\u2019t news. It\u2019s about how most people don\u2019t trust the media, it\u2019s worse than ever. What was it, like 70, 80% don\u2019t trust the media, something like that, up from 65% don\u2019t trust the me. <\/p>\n

Anyway, talking about it last night. And O\u2019Reilly said to Juan Williams, “A recent survey by the Media Insight Project funded by the AP and other public affairs groups asks the question, ‘As far as the people running the press are concerned, would you say you have a great deal of confidence, only some confidence, or hardly any confidence at all?\u2019 Six percent had a great deal of confidence in the media barons; 52%, some; and 41%, hardly any confidence whatsoever.” And O\u2019Reilly said to Juan Williams, “What\u2019s driving the negativity toward the press barons, Juan?”<\/p>\n

WILLIAMS: I gotta tell you, people I think are strongly conservative Republicans who have the greatest distrust of American media. And they\u2019re not they\u2019re not talking about the Wall Street Journal; they\u2019re not talking about Fox News; they\u2019re not talking about Rush Limbaugh and talk radio. They\u2019re talking about ABC, NBC, CBS.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right, of course they are. That\u2019s who the Drive-Bys are. That\u2019s who the mainstream media is, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, LA Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, it\u2019s the same thing. Of course there\u2019s no trust. And he thinks it\u2019s strongly conservative Republicans who have the greatest distrust. Why would that be? Maybe because they\u2019re mocked all the time. Maybe \u2019cause they\u2019re laughed at all the time. Maybe \u2019cause they\u2019re made fun of and impugned all the time. Maybe because the Drive-By Media is every bit as part of the establishment as the Democrat is? <\/p>\n

Maybe because these people know that the media is actually the Democrat Party, just an extension of it. I mean, when somebody can leave the Hillary Clinton campaign and go anchor at ABC, what the hell is that? George Stephanopoulos leaves the Clinton war room, and his buddy James Carville, and ends up hosting Good Morning America and This Week? Or take your pick of any other media person who leaves a campaign position, speechwriter or liaison, goes over to become a White House correspondent. <\/p>\n

Or vice-versa, leave the media to join a campaign, like Jay Carney left TIME magazine to go become Biden\u2019s spokesman. There wasn\u2019t enough to say there; Biden speaks for himself, doesn\u2019t shut up. So Carney goes over to the White House from TIME magazine. Why shouldn\u2019t conservative Republicans have immense distrust in the media? ‘Cause it isn\u2019t media. It\u2019s just an extension of the radical left, the Democrat Party, is all it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
