TweetGreat stuff from Limbaugh, WND reports
“Liberals in the Senate have it half right when they talk about the lack of balance and the lack of honest reporting. They’re dead right when they talk about that. It’s just they’re wrong about where all these things are happening,” Limbaugh said today on his national program. “Let’s regulate the Drive-By Media. Let’s have a Truth Doctrine for them.”
Limbaugh uses the term “Drive-By Media” to describe most news outlets besides talk radio, including major newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and USA Today, as well as magazines and national television networks.
Previously, he used this description for them: “They are exactly like drive-by shooters, they pull up to a congested area, they spray a hail of bullets into the crowd. It causes mass hysteria, confusion, mistakes, and misinterpretation, sometimes people and their careers actually die, and then the Drive-By Media smirks and they ride away, unnoticed in the excitement. They’re never blamed, they’re never held accountable.”
Limbaugh says Americans are being manipulated by propaganda they see and hear from non-talk-radio sources, claiming “hard numbers that prove the point.”
“By any objective measure, ladies and gentlemen, our economy is one of the best in history. By any objective measure: low unemployment, record low unemployment, low inflation – at the same time! … We have a booming investment climate that’s benefiting everybody who is in the stock market. …
“Tax revenues are flooding the federal government! The federal deficit is going to be $205 billion. The “Deficit Monster” is in the process of being slain. There’s more money rolling into Washington, and at the same time affluence in the country is going through the roof like never before. These are all facts.”
Limbaugh then cited a recent poll from the American Research Group, which stated a total of 16 percent of Americans say that the national economy is getting better, 28 percent say it’s staying the same, and 55 percent believe it’s getting worse.
“This is not a measure of reality,” he said. “This is a measure of liberal Drive-By Media propaganda. …
“What these figures show is the impact of unregulated, left-wing propaganda repeated hour after hour, day after day, week after week by the unregulated Drive-By Media, the unregulated liberal newspapers, the unfettered liberal newspapers. Free speech is the lifeblood of our nation, my good friends, and if we’re going to do anything to modify it, let’s look at where the problem really is. It ain’t here on talk radio!”
