And it\u2019s worse than it\u2019s ever been. In fact, folks, I\u2019m gonna jump the gun here. I\u2019ve been actually preparing &#8212; if I were writing a book, which I\u2019m not, this would be a chapter, and I\u2019ve been trying to analyze the poisonous &#8212; and it\u2019s not a conspiracy.

Everybody does everything, most everybody, while also calculating the media reaction to it. Let me explain when things were different, and let me use sports as the example. Back in the &#8212; and this is not old fuddy-duddy stuff. This is historical context.<\/p>\n<p>There was a time when athletes, professional athletes, played the game to play the game, and they were not even conscious of the media. I mean, they knew the press box was filled with writers and so forth, but they went out to play the game and they lived their lives without any thought of what the media would say or do or any of that. It was not on anybody\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2018\/01\/04\/to-find-out-whats-wrong-in-america-follow-the-money-and-the-media\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-386920\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-031621-Combat-BW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-031621-Combat-BW.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-031621-Combat-BW-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-031621-Combat-BW-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Many CEOs, many businesspeople, the media was always there, but it was not, the media was never a dominant factor in determining practically everything someone did. Today it is for a lot of people. And I\u2019m still not making this clear. And that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been spending time trying to write it down. It goes deeper than just trying to be noticed. It leads to all kinds of insincerity. It leads to lack of substance replaced by behavior that will get noticed. And there\u2019s value in getting noticed no matter what you get noticed for. That\u2019s not new.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, the old adage, &#8220;I don\u2019t care what you say about me as long as you spell my name right&#8221; has been around forever. What is new &#8212; relatively new &#8212; and I don\u2019t mean new yesterday &#8212; but what\u2019s relatively new is that the large number of substantive things that are done, not for the reasons that you would think &#8212; good decision, bad decision, what\u2019s the objective, how do we get it, if the media finds out, they find out, if they don\u2019t, they don\u2019t, but the media and what they\u2019re thinking is not even a factor in the circumstances I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not the case in so much today. Everything, everything that most anybody does, especially in politics, is done, is calculated, is executed, is performed with a desired media reaction in mind. And in my mind that corrupts. Take your average American street corner, whatever goes on there goes on. Put a camera there. Everything changes when people know the camera\u2019s there. And there\u2019s a camera on every corner in every room in every city in every place in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KEN: Something just happened &#8212; and this from our friend James O&#039;Keefe over at Project Veritas&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":399699,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
