\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Time to start on the phones. We go to Fulton, Illinois. This is Dan. Hello, sir. Great to have you here. Thanks for the call so much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. You know, the Drive-Bys, they\u2019re only upset and outraged because this was a media person, a journalist, that was beheaded. If this would have been a Christian missionary they wouldn\u2019t even be reporting on it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s kind of iffy. If ISIS had released a video<\/a>, and if that video had gone viral, I think it would have been covered. Now, you may be right. The media, in that case, may have ended up blaming the Christian for being in that position.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly, yeah. I think you can hear it in their tone \u2019cause they accentuate the name, you know, “journalist” or “media person.” That\u2019s what they\u2019re upset about with Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They\u2019ve got an organization. It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve heard this organization referred to. Peter Jennings used to be a ranking member, Committee to Protect Journalists. I remember when I first heard about it, “What is this Committee to Protect Journalists?” It\u2019s an organization of journalists who want to raise awareness to the very dangers they face in trying to bring, ahem, the truth, ahem, to the people from the war torn, ravaged places of the world. The Committee to Protect Journalists is a big deal.<\/p>\n

They are very self absorbed. I don\u2019t disagree with you on that aspect. The media loves nothing more than talking about themselves. And they love nothing more than talking about what they do and how they do it. I mean, every network has got a media analysis show where they\u2019re supposedly supposed to be acting like ombudsmen and report on the mistakes the media\u2019s made. But all of it is just self-praise. They love it. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any mystery about that.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Committee to Protect Journalists is the name of the organization. I don\u2019t know what they do and I don\u2019t know who\u2019s supposed to protect \u2019em. I\u2019m not a member, obviously. I wouldn\u2019t qualify for protection should I claim to be a journalist. I\u2019d be the target.<\/p>\n

By the way, speaking of Christians. The Ebola patient, Kent Brantly, he\u2019s cured. He was released from Emory Hospital in Atlanta today. He had a press conference, and we haven\u2019t seen this in a long time.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Mr. Brantly in his press conference today — we\u2019ve not seen this. We have not seen someone in public so totally devoted to God and Christianity in a long time, in a lot of years. And it was unabashed. I mean, this was Christian missionary 101. It was fearless, meaning he wasn\u2019t afraid of catcalls that he might get from schoolteachers for being too religious.<\/p>\n

Did you hear that somebody, I forget where this was, Alabama or some Southern state, a student sneezed, another student across the classroom said, “Bless you,” and the teacher kicked the student out because we\u2019re not gonna have godly talk in school. It violates people\u2019s constitutional rights. I\u2019m not kidding you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
