Rush Limbaugh: 'The Press Has Met Their Waterloo and It's Obama'



Limbaugh quote:

And the press, this is the sorriest time, I think, in my lifetime. Jim DeMint said that health care is Obama's waterloo. The press has met their Waterloo and it's Obama. They have sacrificed whatever integrity, character, professionalism, ethics that they've had. It's all gone. Their total reason – most of them – for existence: propping this guy up. They're not reporting the details of his plans, they're not reporting his policies. They're looking at it as a horse race: Will Obama win? Will Obama lose? And there are countdown clocks on some of the networks for the press conference last night. Countdown clock: 8 hours, 25 minutes, 13 seconds until Obama's press conference!

These people sitting around with the tingles up their legs all day, they marvel at how Obama is so smooth and elegant. They are not informing anybody about the details of his policies and yet 53 percent, over 50 percent in most polls now, oppose this health care plan. So who's telling the people? Who's telling the people what's in it? Alternative media, your network, talk radio, the conservative blog network. The mainstream media has cashed in its chips, they have become nothing more than stenographers for Rahm Emanuel, in large part, and it's breathtaking to see willingly sacrifice every characteristic that makes quality journalism.
