Rush Limbaugh: 'Drive-By [media] Speculation Designed to Cause Panic, Elect Democrats'
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | 27 Jun 08 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Now, one of the things that -- we talk about the Drive-By Media here quite a bit, and we analyze them a lot, and there have been periods of time in this program I've frankly gotten tired of it because everybody knows that they have a bias and everybody knows that they have an agenda, and what's news about it? I try to ignore 'em, and just can't. They are such a destructive force. They are so heavily aligned with the Democrats. But perhaps the thing of which they are the most responsible and guilty is a calculated and orchestrated daily effort to literally depress as many Americans as possible about their lives, about their future, and about their country. And all this is done for a number of reasons. One, it's easy. Anybody can be negative; anybody can be a pessimist. Number two, it works. People respond far more to an impending crisis than reports of things going well. And the third reason is that they have a direct interest in you being mad. They have a direct interest.

Because they're so aligned with the Democrats, they have a direct related interest in you beginning to doubt the basic structures of this country to define its uniqueness and greatness: i.e., capitalism, the markets. They have, over the years, convinced you to hate or suspect virtually every American institution and corporate entity on the basis that they're out for themselves. "They don't care about you. They want to kill you. They want to harm you. They want you to lose your job. They want you to be poor."

Just remember when WJC was president-all of the panic, and hysterial BS completely vanished for 8 years. Even the Somalia incident and the death of our GI’s was casually reported, without sentiment, outrage or criticism. The MSM functions in the liberal bubble in which everything is emotionalism and spin, facts are either twisted or omitted, and so-called ‘analysis’ is surreal nonsense.

Please don’t make comments like that, you’re making me depressed. :(

And the economy was good. It was better than good. And morals and ethics didn't matter. It was how he did the job. And the deaths of Ron Brown and Vince Foster didn't matter. And Waco didn't matter and Whitewater didn't matter. And Ginzburg and Breyer were moderates....I remember all those lies. The press worked overtime.

Just imagine what the “news” will be like in October? The Drive-Bys are going to go for broke to get their people elected.

I was sitting in my doctor’s office this morning and they had NBC’s Today show on. It was pitiful. Doom and gloom, over and over and Matt Lauer was the conductor.
