RUSH: Have you ever noticed, ladies and gentlemen, how the… You know, I call them the left, the liberals, the Democrats, whatever. Have you ever noticed how they claim they love Mother Nature? They just love it! They don\u2019t like humanity much because humanity destroys Mother Nature. But they love Mother Nature. But then when Mother Nature does something nasty, like give us a drought or give us a hurricane, it\u2019s not Mother Nature\u2019s fault. No! It\u2019s our fault. It\u2019s mankind\u2019s fault because man has brought about climate change.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And Mother Nature is merely another poor victim of capitalism and uncaring, unfeeling, mean-spirited, extremist human beings. Do you realize there\u2019s not gonna ever be another normal weather event ever again? A thunderstorm, a tornado, they\u2019re gonna attach… They already do.<\/p>\n
Every standard-operating meteorological event they treat as something special now, as something unexpected, as something unprecedented, and it\u2019s exactly because they have a political agenda attached to this. You know what\u2019s really scary? I think… You know we sit here and we talk about media bias and how the media\u2019s thrown in with the Democrat Party. I think it\u2019s worse than that.<\/p>\n
It is bias, but it\u2019s gone beyond that. I think now that the media exists to defend the state. The media exists to defend the Regime. The media considers itself to be part of the state, the government, whatever term you want to use. But “state” has a special connotation to it in this lingo the way I\u2019m using it. It used to be that the media was suspicious and doubtful. You remember the old phrase — what is it — “holding truth to power” or something?<\/p>\n
But what that meant was that people who are more powerful than the rest of U.S. are gonna get special attention and special accountability, because they had so much power because we had elected them. And they have that much power, so they were gonna be watched and they were gonna be analyzed. That stopped happening. There is no watching. There is no analysis. There is nothing but pure defense of the state. That\u2019s what the media has become.<\/p>\n
When they go to talk to a guest, some special meteorologist expert or hurricane specialist, there was always a link to climate change. We had this Ron what\u2019s-his-name from NBC who actually said that the United Nations panel on climate change, once they get the document signed, it\u2019s designed to stop these kinds of hurricanes, and the media doesn\u2019t question it. The media doesn\u2019t oppose it. They don\u2019t question it. They never even doubt it.<\/p>\n
They just report it, and when anybody comes along and does the job the media used to do — which is doubt and suspect what people in power tell U.S. — we get attacked because we are then portrayed as enemies of the state. I think that\u2019s really what\u2019s going on with the media these days, in addition to whatever left-wing bias. But they have now grown to become one with government, one with the idea of Big Government. They consider themselves to be part of it. The fact that they\u2019re all Democrats is icing on the cake.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s the power that goes along with being part of the state. It\u2019s the connections. It\u2019s everything. And anybody that comes along with an opposing view — anybody that does not accept whatever the government says about anything — is immediately targeted, held up for ridicule.<\/p>\n
