RUSH: I\u2019m gonna get to the phones in this segment. Normally I don\u2019t take phone calls in the mob log segment of any busy broadcast hour, but I\u2019m gonna do it today because I don\u2019t think I took a call at all in the last hour because it was The True Story of Thanksgiving,<\/a> and I\u2019ve still got some stuff to do on that. Greetings. Welcome back. Rush Limbaugh and the EIB Network. Great to have you here with us. The telephone number, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.<\/p>\n

You want to talk about voter fraud, you want to talk about malpractice in media, listen to this. A new survey from the Media Research Center<\/a> — the Media Research Center is Brent Bozell\u2019s group. They\u2019ve been around about as long as this program has been around. I think we got started about the same time. Brent Bozell is the nephew of William F. Buckley Jr. You may not have known that. Did you know that, Mr. Snerdley? You didn\u2019t? All this time you didn\u2019t know that the bearded, redheaded wonder was Buckley\u2019s nephew? Well, he is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>They just did a survey — are you ready for this? It\u2019s not a surprise, but it still just ticks me off. Listen to this. “Forty-five percent of Biden voters in battleground states had never heard of the Hunter Biden scandal.” But wait. But wait. “9.4% said it would have changed their vote had they heard about it.” Well, that would have been enough to change it. That would have been enough to change the outcome. Media malpractice. Forty-five percent of Biden voters, battleground states, never heard of the Hunter Biden scandal.<\/p>\n

Now, stop and think for a minute. Trump is talking about it all the time. He\u2019s talking about it at his rallies. He\u2019s talking about it in White House press conferences, in ads. There were numerous ads run. How about the guy that — Bobulinski, whatever his name was<\/a> — that was the partner who went on TV and exposed everything about it. I\u2019m having a mental block on his name. And the Drive-Bys didn\u2019t cover that. They didn\u2019t cover any of it. So given that, let me grab Frank here in Fort Worth. Great to have you on the program, sir. You\u2019re up. How you doing?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I\u2019m doing great. Thirty-one and a half year mega dittos and prayers.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Loved your show for all this time. Quick comment, speaking of your book. Don\u2019t know if you remember on the Rush Revere Facebook page a few years ago there was a Santa Claus on a motorcycle holding a little girl holding a Rush doll.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That was me.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is that right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How about that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My grandkids love your books. Hey, Rush, talking about media malpractice, we have a media now that doesn\u2019t even pretend anymore to be unbiased. They just flaunt their bias —<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — with no recourse. And it\u2019s just blatant. My question is, is there any reversing that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Is there any way — okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Then what do we do?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean, look, I could get as in the weeds and detailed in this answer as you want. It\u2019s ridiculous to say that nothing will ever change. Of course, everything does change, and sometime, someday the media is going to change. But I don\u2019t know when, and I don\u2019t know what the catalyst for it is gonna be. And I don\u2019t know how they\u2019re gonna change. But everything changes. There\u2019s nothing that never changes. Even the finest and greatest traditions the world has known have little changes here and there, now and then.<\/p>\n

What will bring about the change in the media? Well, clearly losing audience does not affect the way the media does their job. And losing money doesn\u2019t affect the way they do their job because we found out yesterday that many American newspapers — New York Times, Washington Post — have been underwritten by Chinese advertising buys, government of China advertising buys. Not enough to keep them going, but clearly enough to help them weather bad times.<\/p>\n

The media really changed a long time ago. The media hasn\u2019t been the media as you think of it for many decades. If you think of the media as where you go to get news, that really hasn\u2019t existed probably since 1990 or maybe a little later, 1992. There is no news anymore, per se. All there is, folks, is the leftist agenda that is advanced under the guise of journalism. But there isn\u2019t any news. News is what? News is people telling you what happened at places you weren\u2019t and therefore you didn\u2019t see and you don\u2019t know. The simple definition of journalism. Telling people what happened somewhere where they weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not what goes on in journalism anymore. Journalism is pure activism now. Journalism is — particularly what I call the Drive-By Media, the legacy media, mainstream media, it is purely the Democrat Party agenda disguised as news, disguised as journalism. So what will ever change it? Will they ever be fair to conservatives? No, they hate conservatism. Folks, they are no different than liberal Democrats and the Democrat Party who resent that there even is opposition.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not interested in persuading people. They\u2019re not interested in having to get into the arena of ideas and compete and triumph over people by persuading them. They want to silence opposition. They don\u2019t want there to be any opposing view. And so they engage in efforts to discredit credible spokesmen for things they don\u2019t agree with. It\u2019s a hideous thing. A nation like ours depends on a free press. I used to resent when people said that. But it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A nation like ours literally does depend on a free press. And we don\u2019t have it. And this story, 45% of Biden voters, battleground states, never heard of the Hunter Biden scandal, and nine and a half percent of them said it would have changed their vote if they had heard about it. So that\u2019s bias in the form of not covering a story, purposefully. Now, something\u2019s gonna happen someday, and they will change. But what they will become, how that change will manifest itself, who knows. But I\u2019m simply relying on experience guided by intelligence. Everything changes, as time passes.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the 30 years doing this program, I\u2019ve had people say and ask in one form or another, when is the media gonna be fair to us? And their point of view is that until that happens, that we will never win. And I\u2019m here to tell you, if that\u2019s how you look at things, you better change your mind real fast. They\u2019re never gonna be fair to us. They\u2019re never gonna be open and fair about anything they oppose. Not just conservatism, but anything they oppose.<\/p>\n

If you are sitting around deciding that we are never gonna win until the media is fair, then by your own definition we are never gonna win. They are always gonna be an obstacle. They are always gonna be something we have to overcome. Because they are the Democrat Party. It\u2019s not as though they\u2019re an adjunct. It\u2019s not as though that they are in addition to. They are the Democrat Party. They\u2019re as much the Democrat Party as Joe Biden is, as Kamala Harris is.<\/p>\n

So Republican candidates are gonna be running against the Democrat Party wherever it\u2019s found. The Democrat Party is found in Big Tech. The Democratic Party is found in Google, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. The Democrat Party is found in Hollywood. It\u2019s found in major books. It\u2019s found in television shows, pop culture, if you will. That\u2019s what Republicans every year run against. Some figure it out, and some don\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
