Time Text
Hey, cookie, roll a tape in there.
Dingy Harry is now going to respond to Bush's speech in Iraq.
This ought to be good.
What's Lieberman doing standing next to him?
You see that?
That's kind of a surprise.
Maybe Dingy Harry is going to announce America's surrender.
Greetings, folks.
Welcome, Rush Limbaugh back.
Final hour broadcast excellence is all yours.
Phone number 800-282-2882.
And the email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
I want to go back to this Charlie Cook soundbite that we played right before the end of the previous hour.
He's a political consultant.
He has a newsletter, political newsletter called a Cook Report.
And he was on a special edition of Hardball on MSNBC Saturday Night Live from Memphis, the Republican Straw Poll.
These guys, this is what they live for, the horse race aspect of all this.
And they talk about it in the context of it being a horse race.
And as such, I don't think they really ever get down to deep understanding of the issues that lead people to vote for or against people.
They come up with all kinds of ancillary things.
But anyway, the host, the estimable Chris Matthews, says, why don't they like McCain?
Why don't these Republican rubes like me?
Why don't these, why don't these, when the Republican base, why don't they like McCain?
Huh?
Why do they like McCain?
I think that party regulars in general and Republican party regulars in particular don't like Mavericks.
They don't like independents.
They like team players.
But I also think that reform does itself with party regulars.
And I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat.
Why not, Charlie?
They're ideologues.
They don't want reform.
They love politics.
You don't have to get so mad about this.
It's very simple.
He's exactly right.
This reform business is nothing more than the code word.
Reform is nothing more than a word used by the libs to advance big government anti-liberty agenda.
Like we need lobbying reform.
Like we need a campaign finance reform.
We need all this reform business.
All it does is screw things up.
It just makes the government bigger.
It just gives more power to the government.
Have you ever seen any reform in Washington that involves expanding liberty and shrinking government?
That's reform.
And that's what we think reform is.
And that's what we want conservatives elected to do.
We want conservatives.
Ideologues, call them what you want, Charlie.
We want conservatives, and we know that they win when they run as such.
I mean, it isn't complicated, but these guys, there's so many words in the Washington Beltway lexicon that just grate on me like fingernails on a chalkboard.
And one of them is reform, because all it is, is a trick.
And the next version of it, as I say, is going to be lobbying reform.
We have lobby reform, and we're going to get Abramoff by the time lobby reform gets done is going to look like an angel.
All right.
Have you, oh, I'm sure they'd love reform and talk radio.
And I grate on them too.
They'd love talk radio reform, which would mean me out.
Have you did you hear the news?
This is so predictable.
It just so frustrating.
It happened about 10.30 this morning.
Judge considers dismissing Masawi case.
The U.S. judge, hearing the death penalty trial of confessed al-Qaeda conspirator Zakarius Masawi, called a recess to consider dismissing the case over alleged government misconduct.
U.S. District Court Judge Leone Brinkama said, in all the years I've been on the bench, I have never seen such an egregious violation of the court's rules on coaching witnesses.
Brinkam has said that she had been advised by the prosecution that an attorney working with the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, working with FAA employees due to testifying the case had infringed rules on witnesses.
The defense immediately filed a motion for the dismissal of the death penalty case against Masawi.
The proceeding should really be dismissed.
Mr. Masawi sentenced to life in prison, said defense attorney Edward McMahon.
We're not going to get a fair trial here.
The judge said that the attorney, who was not identified, had been discussing the case in detail with witnesses who were to be called later in the case.
You can't do that.
The witnesses get called in the case.
They don't know what's been said unless somebody's out there coaching them, and you can't do that.
She said the incident was the second significant air roar by the government.
On Friday, Brinkham had dismissed a notion, a motion for a mistrial over a question the defense said was a violation of Masawi's constitutional rights.
This is what you get when you try to prosecute the war on terror as a law and order issue.
Now, I know we're just talking about the death penalty sentencing phase here.
We're not talking about the conviction and life imprisonment.
But, I mean, this is all the money and all the time we're wasting here.
It is just absurd.
You do not conduct wars in courtrooms.
You deal in the aftermath of war in a courtroom.
Say, if you need to try war crimes violators such as Slobo Milosevic.
How about this guy keeling over dead in his cell?
Bye-bye, Slobo over the weekend.
He was at The Hague.
A lot of controversy about this now.
See, Slobo had some medical conditions.
He wanted to go to Russia for treatment, and his family is there.
And the tribunal at The Hague, the courts, no, we're not going to let you out of there.
You'll never come back.
No, I promise to come back.
Family, no, we promise.
We'll bring him back.
And he was doing his own defense.
He's writing his own papers.
And apparently he was taking some drugs.
And they found a drug in him that counteracted the medicine he was taking for either high blood pressure, cardiac disease, or something.
It caused his liver to start working feverishly.
And when that happens, you know, medicines – look, I'm not a scientist.
But when the liver is not acting normally, when it's sped up, the effectiveness of medicines taken is diminished.
And apparently that's what's happened.
So now speculation is he might have been poisoned by somebody.
He even wrote that he thought he was going to be poisoned.
How can this possibly be?
Who would want to poison such a guy like Slobodan Milosevic?
Did you hear what The Hague said?
Hey, the people at The Hague were mad because they wanted to get to the bottom of what happened there.
And he's the only guy who knows, and now he's histois.
He assumed room temperature, and they'll never know.
So they're not going to be able to document the case of ethnic cleansing and all this.
This trial's gone on for four years or some such thing.
What is interesting about this, and I'm not drawing any conclusions, and I'm not even making any connections.
I'm not dot connecting or anything else.
But it has been reported that Slobo was considering calling Bill Clinton as a witness.
He hadn't made the formal request, but was considering it.
And now, Slobo is no more.
Wesley Clark was called as a witness.
He went and testified.
A bunch of high-profile big names.
I can't remember any of the other ones.
All right, quickly before the break here, big day at rushlimbaugh.com on our subscriber side, and this concerns our audio and video podcasts each day.
We audio podcast the whole program.
We video podcast each day's morning update.
We deliver them automatically to subscribers anywhere from 4 p.m. an hour after the show to two hours after the show.
And today is the first day that you can access, have these podcasts automatically downloaded straight to iTunes.
Now, this does not involve the iTunes Music Store.
You still have to subscribe to RushLimbaugh.com.
You get a member ID and password from us.
When you click on a link that we have set up at our home page, it will automatically open iTunes.
You enter your member ID, your username, and your password.
And immediately, iTunes will begin to download some files we've put up there yesterday's or Friday's podcasts, audio and video, so that you can see that it's working.
And then this afternoon, about an hour, hour and a half after the program, today's files will be automatically delivered.
The reason we did this is because people have been asking us since we started, how come I can't get this with iTunes?
Well, iTunes wasn't set up until recently to allow content to be downloaded that was paid.
It had to be free.
That's no longer the case.
If you don't want to go to the iTunes, you can continue to use the system we have set up, which is the 24-7 Media Center software.
But if you do go iTunes, you've got to uninstall the 24-7 Media Center so they don't conflict because they will, and it'll just cause you delays and problems.
This is very easy to do.
You simply, when you click on our link at the website and open iTunes, it'll ask you for your 24-7 username and password.
Put that in there, click the boxes, remember me, and make sure you go to your iPod preferences, the podcast preferences in iTunes, podcast preferences in iTunes, and just make sure that it is set to auto-download at least once a day.
And then all you have to do is make sure that iTunes is open and running.
And it will automatically, when we make the downloads available, you'll go straight to iTunes, straight to your iTunes.
And the next time you plug in your iPod, voila, it will update, eliminating the steps of having to manually drag them or import them from somewhere on your hard drive to iTunes, which you have to do now.
No additional charge for this, just more value added for members at Rush 24-7.
Be right back and roll right on.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Rush Limbaugh emitting vocal vibrations from coast to coast.
800-282-2882.
Okay.
I have observed over the course of many years that the route to the highest stature one can achieve in the Democratic Party and liberalism is to become a loser.
They seem to reward their losers with the highest honors they can bestow.
Jimmy Carter, for example, was the king of the Democrat National Convention up there in Boston.
Honored as such by being allowed to sit next to Michael Moore for much of the convention.
And there are countless other examples of this.
Failure seems to be a springboard to instant icon status in the Democratic Party.
I've got another example of it today.
Today, Peace Story, former Senate Democrat leader Tom Daschell, accusing the Republicans of spreading a message of fear, says he is considering a 2008 presidential bid.
I haven't ruled anything out or anything in at this point.
Dashel said in an interview Saturday night after a hometown dinner in his honor, they're honoring a loser.
The guy lost his Senate seat in South Dakota.
I'm really encouraged, Tim, by the strong support many people have voiced for my candidacy around the country and in South Dakota.
I'll make a decision at some point later this year.
Dashel said that President Bush and Republicans have overemphasized the importance of the war on terror.
Created great racists out of all of us, don't you know?
We're all anti-Arabs.
We're all a bunch of xenophobes and racists.
Bush caused that.
And he said the United States.
Dashle said the U.S. is no safer now than it was before the Iraq invasion.
All right, so here we have another Democrat, I mean, a glaring failure who's been launched to the heights of possibility presidential nomination in his own party.
And as you people know, Republicans appear to be in disarray.
The president's approval numbers appear to be down and so forth.
But you can always count on the Democrats to come to the rescue.
Be it Feingold's idiotic censure move, John Conyer's impeachment move, now Dashel saying that Bush overemphasized the importance of the war on terror.
He exaggerated it.
And on that basis, he wants to run for president.
He's overwhelmed by all of the support that he's getting around the country and in South Dakota.
Delusional.
This is simply delusional.
And it's to our benefit.
We've got to use this stuff.
Back to the phone says, San Francisco, I always love getting calls from San Francisco.
Mark, welcome, sir.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hi, Rush.
This is Mark Wayman.
Great honor to talk to you.
A question going back to Slobodan Milosevic.
You mentioned earlier that he might have been poisoned.
I think this is equivalent to torture or human rights violations, much like we're being accused of supposedly down in Gitmo.
Well, you know, a doctor, a Dutch doctor has done some toxicology tests.
They found a drug that he wasn't prescribed.
And when you're in a jail cell in The Hague, you've got to get it somewhere.
Exactly.
So it may have been, who knows?
We never saw any pictures of Slobo since he's been incarcerated.
He could very well have been tortured because torture, as you know, can kill if done properly.
That's absolutely correct, sir.
Excellent point.
As I say, I love getting calls from San Francisco.
You never know what you're going to get out there.
Steve in Sacramento, my adopted hometown.
Great to have you with us, sir.
Hi.
Megaditto's Rush from the proud birthplace of EIB.
That's exactly right.
On the left coast, no less.
Thank you, sir.
Anyway, getting back to the straw pool, I'm looking at the numbers on Reuters here.
And even though Senator McCain may have requested the delegates to vote for Bush, you know, even in the manner of maybe saving face, in reality, if you add up the numbers, President Bush got 10.3%, McCain 4.6.
That adds up to 14.9%.
If McCain looks at those delegates as his, since he requested it, that's actually above Romney.
Romney is 14.4.
Okay.
So McCain actually may be looking at those delegates as his.
Okay, so your conclusion.
I'm sure he looks at all delegates as his.
Your conclusion thus is.
My conclusion is that here we have the main press actually saying that McCain, which he did not, even though McCain may be looking at it as a fact he came in second.
And that may be more of a threat than me.
I think, no.
I mean, the truth is McCain thinks he won.
There's no question.
I'm not saying that McCain is.
When I say that McCain is not the frontrunner right now, I'm simply saying I'm talking about this very moment at this instant, based on whatever data we have, he may be the hoped-for frontrunner in the press.
I'm not saying he's not going to be a factor.
Don't confuse the two.
That's true, except I'm just saying, even though it's very early, the fact that we're calling him fourth, fourth, or fifth really is probably not that accurate because of the fact that he did request those delegates, those 10.3%, to vote for him.
I got to get my hair.
I got the trash box.
I got to get the numbers here out of the trash box.
Let me look at this.
McCain, 4.6, President Bush, 10.3.
So that's 13.9.
No, 14.9.
10.3 and 4.6 is 4.5.
14.9.
14.9.
Yeah, I went to public speakers.
Romney was 14.4.
Romney is 14.4.
Okay, we're splitting hairs here.
But Romney didn't ask his vote to be splitted.
I know what you're saying.
McCain wanted to split these up and so forth and so on.
Even though it's probably not really 14.9, the point is it's closer to second or third than it is fourth or fifth.
That's for sure.
You know, I'll tell you who's going to be shocked at this, Chuck Hagel, 0.2%.
He got that much.
Chuck Hagel, 0.2.
Rudy wasn't there, got 1.1%.
Condi got 2.2.
Pataki, 2.7.
The other write-ins, there were many that totaled 3.0.
Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, 3.7.
George Allen, 10.3%.
Now, did you mention the response by Karen Finney from the Democratic National Committee spokeswoman, Karen Finney?
I read it.
I read it.
What did she say?
I forgot.
She said, quote, shocking that Republicans backed Frist in the poll and called him the poster child for the Republican culture of corruption and competition and incompetence.
She called him that.
Well, that doesn't bother me.
That's what I would expect them to say.
That's very typical.
Everybody knew Frist was going to win this.
It's his state.
You know, we didn't have delegates flying in from all over the country.
This was the Southern Republican Leadership Conference.
This was not some national straw poll that was taken up.
Okay, but your point is well taken here.
If you add up Bush's 10.3 right-in, McCain's 4.6 write-in, you're right.
You get 14.9.
Romney got 14.4.
One more question.
Quickly, got a half minute.
On the set of the 20, on 1224, who was the mystery woman?
I don't know.
That's why I put mystery woman.
Thanks, Russ.
I don't think I got her name.
And if I got her name, it was late in the night, and I don't recall.
But, I mean, she knows who I am, and that is what counts.
We have a brief timeout to take here, ladies and gentlemen.
Other exciting stories in the stack of stuff coming up.
Brilliant story in the Washington Post explaining why the Bush White House is imploding its sleep cycles.
We'll be back.
It is.
That's what it said.
All right, I've been running some more numbers here after the call we got from Steve in Sacramento, and there's a point that I need to make here.
Yeah, Steve added the number of write-in votes that George Bush got, which is 10.3% of the straw vote.
John McCain got 4.6%.
So if you add those up, you get 14.9%.
And that is larger than Mitt Romney's 14.4%.
But Steve, this assumes, and apparently it's what McCain is doing, it's a pretty neat trick on McCain's part.
He's assuming that every vote for Bush is for him because he's the one that asked people to do this.
So he's assuming.
So we're just going to automatically conclude that every one of those 10.3%, there's 147 votes that President Bush got, write-in votes.
If we're just going to assume that McCain, all those were going to go to McCain, then you can draw the conclusion that you do, that McCain actually comes in higher than Mitt Romney.
So let's dig deeper because the straw poll also calculated the second choice of Bill Frist's voters.
Now, Bill Frist was the winner, and he got 526 votes or 36.9%.
And here are the second choices in order of Frist voters.
George Allen, 18.4%.
Mitt Romney, 12%.
Giuliani, 12%.
No Bush, no McCain.
And I don't know what the overall second place tally was.
But you don't find McCain on the second choice of the winner, which is Frist.
And that to me is an interesting little number in and of itself.
Nah, I don't think.
H.R. just asked me if he thought there was media voter fraud that might have stuffed the ballots.
Nah, I haven't heard any allegations of this.
I suppose it's possible, but I would highly doubt it in this instance.
A couple sound bites here from Dingy Harry.
President Bush made a speech in Iraq today, Progress Report.
Dingy Harry went out there to respond to it along with Senator Lieberman, and they held their press conference in front of the slogan, investing in American security.
Don't you just love these pathetic idiots?
They're just pathetic.
Anyway, we have two bites from Dingy Harry responding to President Bush, and here is the first.
We'll soon be beginning the fourth year of the war in Iraq.
Put me to sleep.
President today started his public relations campaign again about how well the war is going in Iraq.
Isn't that dynamic?
I would rather that he spent his time focusing on how to form a government in Iraq.
That is what is badly needed.
We need a political solution to the problems in Iraq.
We don't need people to tell us how well the war is going.
Okay, I don't even want to bother.
Here's the second.
This week's budget debate is really a test for the majority party.
We'll find out in this debate if they're committed to improving America's security.
If they're going to continue to rubber stamp the president's incompetence, we live in a dangerous world.
Really?
We face many, many threats.
Namely, Democrats will fight for a budget that reflects this reality.
What the president sent us in the form of a budget is a pre-9-11 budget.
It would take cops off the street in Las Vegas and Reno and the rest of the country.
It would leave our seaports without proper controls.
You've taken care of that.
It would not give additional protection to our trains and our cargo holes.
In fact, it would make our country less safe.
America could do better than that.
Yeah, there we go.
They're trying to steal a little bit of John Kennedy's campaign from 1960.
We can do better.
America can do better.
It's not lighting them up out there on the Democrat side.
They hate the slogan.
So the guys can't get us.
I thought they fixed port security.
They stopped the United Arab Emirates from taking over the ports.
They stopped it.
I don't have any time for these guys.
I really, not today anyway.
They just wear me out.
Sally in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Welcome to the program.
It's your turn.
Hey, Rush, good to talk with you.
And I'm a huge fan out here.
And I just wanted to make the point that to me, McCain is nothing other than a Republican version of Wesley Clark or any of those other soft-headed, mushy Democrats that you were just describing.
The guy, he has no guts, and I just think he tries to be all things to all people.
And it's a big turnoff for those of us who are conservative Republicans who really love someone like President Bush, who's got conviction, and he goes out there.
And if he's not pleasing the crowd all the time, that might be a good thing, to tell you the truth.
Is there anything McCain could do to change your mind?
You know, it might just be his personality as part of it, but I don't think so.
He's not convincing.
He hasn't shown it to be convincing in the past, whether it's taxes or, you know, this whole thing with Iraq, whatever.
So the bottom line is he's not fooling you.
No, he's not.
So he's not getting my vote.
Assuming he even gets there to begin with, you know?
Well, I know this is a popular sentiment out there.
And the media will discount people like you, Sally, the people that have trumpeted and championed McCain.
Whether you're in Michigan or whether you're in South Carolina, if you're in the Republican base, they're going to discount you because you're just, they don't relate.
They can't understand.
You're just an idiot.
Like Evan Thomas said about people who listen to talk radio.
You're just an idiot.
And so they'll throw you out of the equation because you just don't count.
You're the ones who vote.
Well, I know.
That's the point.
If they properly analyze where the base stands in McCain, it's in direct conflict with their own impression of him.
And they, of course, can't be wrong.
They, of course, can't be wrong.
And you, of course, can't be right because you're a rube and a blockhead.
And so they'll not take you seriously.
And I think that's good.
Let them continue to underestimate you and everybody out there in the base.
McCain is not.
McCain's not an McCain knows what his challenge is.
He knows what his problem is.
That's why I asked you if there's anything he could do.
Because I tell you, Sally, he's in the process of trying to woo you.
Yep.
Well, you know, listen, I'm open-minded and I listen, but I just, you also have to look at people's track records and what they've produced.
And, you know, the pudding.
You look at what he's done and measure it against his words, and what are you going to give more weight to?
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
Well, thanks.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, I just was going to say thanks.
This is such a thrill to speak with you.
And just keep up the good work and keep up the humor and the optimism.
They're really terrific.
I appreciate that.
Thank you.
It's the only way I know how to be.
I'm naturally funny.
I'm a naturally optimist.
Thanks again, Sally.
Snurdly, are you going to tell people why McCain actually has a chance to win?
You'll have to tell me what he, well, I don't know why he has a chance to win.
You tell me during the break when we got a break coming.
You tell me why you think he has a chance to win.
I'll get your version of it.
I mean, I think he has a chance to win just because anybody does right now.
I mean, anybody can win.
Nobody gets anointed here, and it's way, way out from the primaries.
I mean, so he's got as good a chance to win as anybody else does.
And some people might say better.
Here's Matt in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Matt, welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the program.
Hey, Rush, thanks a lot.
Hey, just real quick.
You know, Chuck Hagel, just for your information, is not running for president.
He knows that there's no way on God's green earth he's going to make it on a run for president unless he becomes vice president first.
And he's been back here doing interviews on local radio stations saying how he's voted with Bush more than anyone else.
But then he goes on these talk shows and just creates enemies back here in Nebraska.
And a lot of his earlier supporters dislike him with just an extreme passion.
Yeah.
You say that, but he keeps getting elected.
I hear all these answers.
He's been up for re-election.
This is his first time up for re-election, Rush.
He's only won the original election.
We all thought he was a conservative.
He beat out Ben Nelson.
Well, all right, we'll see.
We'll see.
I hear all this.
I know that he probably thinks his presidential chances are pretty slim and he might want to be Veep, but he was in a battle there for a while with McCain to see who could outmaverick the other.
But it's clear that McCain has chosen Lindsey Graham as his protege and not Chuck Hagel.
And that's going to have some effect, impact on Hagel, too.
They missed his brokeback moment.
Back in just a second.
Stay with us.
Hey, I better address this.
I'm getting tons of emails from people asking me if I watched the premiere episode of this season's series, The Sopranos, last night.
And if so, what did I think about it?
I'm sort of caught between things here because if I describe what I thought of the episode last night, the people who are still waiting for this season to come out on DVDs about a year from now will be disappointed.
Well, you know, there's some people who haven't watched it.
I T-VO'd it last night and recorded it and didn't have a chance.
And I so I don't want to give away a couple shockers last night, but I don't know.
There's something about it.
I keep it.
It's like Dallas.
Every season after the first four or five, I kept waiting for it to recapture the magic of the early years, and it just didn't.
And I'm not sure this, I must confess, ladies and gentlemen, as a powerful, influential member of the media.
I have seen more than just the opening episode.
And if you think that last night's episode, if you think that last night's episode signals the end of the feminization of this show, you are wrong.
That's about I thought the episode last night was good.
I liked it.
I watched the whole thing and I was riveted to the seat and I didn't do anything else while I was watching it.
And I was taken aback.
But I can't, I can't.
I just know there are people who haven't seen it.
I'm not going to blow.
Did you watch it last night?
Oh, you haven't seen your TV.
All right, well, see, I'm not going to tell you anything that happens then because it's just going to, it would destroy.
I'll tell you what, I'll talk about it on Wednesday.
Remind me on Wednesday, okay?
Because I just don't want to destroy it for people.
And I don't want to even set up positive or negative expectations.
You've got to watch this in your own aura.
All right.
The Washington Post today, ladies and gentlemen, senior staff, senior White House staff may be wearing down.
See, the mainstream press, the drive-by media concerned for the staff members of the Bush administration, and the drive-by media is obsessed right now with what's going wrong inside the White House.
Why can't they do anything right?
Why did they mismanage the pork deal?
Why are they tone deaf?
Why do they not understand how things they're going to do are reacted to by people in the country?
So an in-depth investigation was begun by Peter Baker of the Washington Post.
And basically, it's this.
Of all the reasons that President Bush is in trouble these days, not to be overlooked are inadequate REM cycles, sleep cycles.
Like Chief of Staff Andy Card, many of the president's top aides have been by his side non-stop for more than five years, not including the first campaign, the recount and transition.
This is a White House, according to insiders, that is physically and emotionally exhausted, battered by scandal, and drained by political setbacks.
And these scandals and political setbacks are largely the creation of the drive-by media.
From Hurricane Katrina, I still am asking, where's the response to the tornadoes?
I guess nobody cares because it's just white people that got killed and wiped out.
I guess nobody cares.
President obviously doesn't care about white people.
Where's FEMA?
We haven't heard a word about FEMA.
Where's the rescue effort?
I know that people knew these tornadoes were coming.
Drudge has been reporting.
Last night we had the area of watches and warnings and this wide weather system with his unusually warm, moist air, ripe for tornadoes this time of year in the Midwest.
Everybody knew this was possible.
Everybody knew this is coming and nobody's talking about it.
Nobody.
Speaking of the media, the drive-by media, David Border, AP television writer, consumers can find news in many more places these days, but paradoxically are seeing fewer stories covered with less depth.
A study issued on Sunday has concluded, the Project for Excellence in Journalism found that the trend on television in newspapers and online is the same.
Cable news outlets, for example, repeatedly tell a limited number of stories over and over and over.
On one day, Google News offered computer users a menu of 14,000 stories covering only 24 separate subjects.
Well, there you go.
Perfect definition of the drive-by media.
They just keep lobbing bullets and mortar fire until they just disrupt everything.
They never leave a story until they get out of it what they want.
Now, the Project for Excellence in Journalism, in addition to being an oxymoron, is a think tank in Washington.
And in its annual state of the industry yesterday, a study rather, released yesterday, said many news outlets are reacting to declining circulation or viewership by cutting back on journalists.
Yet on a national level, they find it necessary to cover many of the same stories.
It's the illusion of more information, said the project's director, but actually it's a lot of repetition with not a whole lot of information.
The danger of news operations stretched too thin is that it's, that's not the problem.
The problem is that everybody in this business thinks the same way.
How in the world do you think it happens?
You have a story.
I don't care what it is.
Take any story and then you go read about it in the New York Times, The Washington Post, watch it on CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, read about it in the LA Times.
It's going to be covered identically.
These people, you want to talk about robots.
These people say the same things.
We produce these montages over and over again.
It wouldn't matter how many more journalists they had.
They would all say the same thing because they are all of the same mindset.
They're never going to solve their problems.
They're never going to admit what their problems really are.
Gonna take a quick timeout.
We'll be back.
Continue.
El Quicko.
Okay, so the media has fewer journalists and they can't do as much reporting.
The stories just keep being recycled and so forth.
Well, Investors Business Daily today on an editorial says, with rising income, soaring wealth, bigger and better homes, plenty of jobs, and low inflation, we may be living in the most prosperous times ever, yet chances are you don't believe it one bit.
The economy isn't perfect, of course, but it's a long way from bad, long, long way from bad.
We ponder this as a new employment report comes out showing 243,000 new payroll jobs in February, even as the number of people re-entering the labor market swelled by nearly 350,000.
So they did a survey.
Media Research Center did a survey.
In 2005, in all of 2005, there were just 151 stories on every doesn't it, CB, the networks, the cables, the newspapers, 151 stories covering the creation of 2 million new jobs.
We get 151 stories a day on George Bush and the port snort or George Bush and the National Guard or George Bush and some other scandal they're trying to create, Katrina or what have you.
151 stories in one year on the economy and the job creation.
All right, folks, we got a scram.
Program's over.
See you tomorrow and we'll look forward to it.
