RUSH: You know what struck me over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Big Media, the Drive-By Media, never, ever get investigated. They do not investigate themselves. CBS did over Rather, but they had to on that one, but they never, ever get investigated. They can distort. They can lie. They can ruin people. They can create total false impressions of reality that has real effect on people’s lives, and nobody ever demands an investigation. But you let it be Big Oil that does something or let it be Big Drug that does something or Big Retail or Big Tobacco, why, we’ll stop the presses and we’ll investigate. I know the media has First Amendment protections and I’m not suggesting Congress should do this.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know what struck me over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen,
is how the the big media, the drive by media,
never ever get investigated. They do not investigate themselves. CBS
did over rather, but they had to on that one.
But they never ever get investigated. They can distort, they
can lie, they can ruin people, they can they can
(00:23):
create total false impressions of reality that has real effect
on people's lives, and nobody ever demands an investigation. But
let it be big oil it does something, or let
it be big drug that does something, or big retail
or big tobacco. Well we'll stop the presses that will investigate.
I know the media has First Amendment protections, and I'm
(00:44):
not suggesting Congress should do this. I'm just saying, in
terms of the institutions that guide our lives and shape
are thinking, the one that perhaps has more importance and
more power than any of these others never ever gets
called the task, never ever investigates investigated, while they seek
to investigate and destroy everybody else that gets in their
(01:07):
way or of their agenda. Greetings, my friends, and welcome
Russia Limball back. Full week, well, no, not a full
week of broadcast excellent. Sorry three days. Then off to
Hawaii on the Thursday for a for a golf gig.
What what how can I I'm going to Hawaii. I
got some friends out there. Guy just built a new house.
(01:28):
They're gonna go out They've been beening to go out
there for two I've been putting this off for two years,
and Uh, finally gonna go out there. And the only
time I've got it's gonna get swamp heavy here. Uh
getting the election season and so forth, and anybody, Greetings, folks, Russia, Limball,
the E I B Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for
Advanced Conservative Studies eight to eight to eight eight to
(01:49):
the email addresses Rush at E I B net dot com.
We'll get to this latest resolution attempt by the White
House and I guess the French and the United Nations
to cease hostilities in Lebanon and Israel. Uh. This attempt,
I'm gonna tell you upfront, makes me sick to my stomach.
(02:10):
I hope it fails. I think it's ridiculous, and I
wish somebody just get out of the way and let
the Israelis one time finish the job. What nobody wants
to admit here is that this is all about Iran
and Syria, and if we don't deal with this now,
we're gonna have to deal with it at some point,
mark my words, because there's no such thing as a
(02:31):
sustainable piece, especially a sustainable piece that is established on
the Lebanese is establishing a full fledged government that's gonna
have total control over the Hesbos. If one thing we
know is impossible, it's that this this prime minister doesn't
even want that. He's scared to death of the of
the Hesbos. And this guy Shake Nasrali has become a
(02:52):
rock star in the Arab world, he said Planet Osama
bin Laden. In fact, the the Israeli or the Lebanese
Prime minister has essentially said that this proposed resolution, the
first of two that was announced the President and Secretary
of State Kondo Leeza Rice uh Uh is no good
because it allows Israeli forces to stay in in southern Lebanon.
(03:17):
Of course, it's no good. That's not going to work,
Uh in terms of a ceasefire is international force and
so for that it just frustrates me. More on that
in just a second of the beginning and the opening
of the program, here about the media never being investigated.
I'm sure many of you might now have heard of
the the literal fraud perpetrated by all Reuters with all
(03:39):
of the fake and doctored photos coming out of the
action in Lebanon. It's much too numerous to recount verbally here.
We have posted at Russia limbau dot com. I was
up till three in the morning on Sunday working on
this when I first heard about this, and trying to
organize all that's out there in the blogosphere. Little Green
Footballs was the first to call attention to this. Charles Johnson,
(04:01):
who runs that blog, has had his life threatened now
by a Reuter's Well, we think it's a Reuter's in place.
Somebody has used a Reuter's email address to send him
a death threat, essentially saying he can't wait the writers
and can't wait to see Charles Johnson's throat slit. Uh.
It all started with a bunch of fake photos about
(04:22):
bombing attacks in Beirut. Photoshop has a clone tool. If
you use Photoshop, you're you're familiar with this, and you
can clone various in any aspect of a photo that
you want, And they did it with the smoke and
it was just horribly done. It was so obviously hurried,
it was not even professional, and even a professional attempt
to a doctor, the pictures couldn't stand up to the
(04:42):
light of day. Reuters took a while before they retracted
the picture, but it's already out there. He had already
been on front pages of newspapers, just like these phony
Bologny plastic banana pictures that have come out of Kanna.
We now know that much of these are staged. Uh,
there are two other questionable pictures are actually more than that.
This is tip of the iceberg, folks, Dan rather was
just the tip of the iceberg. This stuff going on
(05:04):
here is is confirming every suspicion I've had about fake
news oriented toward the action line per story, that drive
by media types have anything outside that doesn't permeate, doesn't register,
and they're not interested in it. And in fact they'll
go so even make things up and enhance things and
make it look worse than it was to advance their storyline. Uh.
(05:27):
Reuters ought to be disgraced forever over this um. They
ought to be investigated, They ought to they have to
investigate themselves. Haven't heard any call for this and that's
what made me realize this, this outfit, this bunch, this industry,
as destructive as it can be, both to individuals, to corporations, UH,
and to cultures and societies, never ever gets investigated, nor
(05:50):
do the individuals in it ever get investigated. Now, this
this second picture, and this was a doozy. The second
picture purported to show oh in Israeli F sixteen or
the F sixteen was not in the picture frame. It
was cropped out. What it showed was three or four
missiles being launched, obviously on innocent civilian targets. The caption
(06:12):
is as important as the picture. It turns out that
the real picture was of an Israeli F sixteen UH
firing off one flare as in chaff to try to
confuse surface to air missiles if the heads bows have
any and if they were going to launch any you
take the picture, you duplicate or clone the flare UH
(06:36):
and its streak of smoke through the sky which was
being emitted in from behind UH the F sixteen. When
you see the real picture, the cropped version made it
look like these are missiles that had been fired over
four of them. UH. The other thing that has just
been discovered, and I'm sure from that count was more.
There have to be count was more, not just with
Wreiter's uh this this guy writers has finally said, uh,
(07:00):
we're we're not going to use this freelancer anymore. Naji Haji,
I'll shake whatever his name is. I couldn't care less.
And they've pulled his entire portfolio from their website. Uh
and and but there's another picture showed from from about
a week apart. First picture is a wide angle view
of a destroyed building somewhere in in Lebanon, and I
(07:23):
think it's on July August four. The same picture, well,
a picture at the same place close up showing one
of the same buildings with a forlorn woman walking through
the rubble, was set out on the wire again as
evidence of a second bombing. It was the same place,
the same destruction, with the different angles, different fields of
(07:47):
view from the viewfinder, and it's all been portrayed as
as uh, two separate attacks. In the first instance, where
the smoke was cloned to make it look as as
though the whole anywheres was on fire. They even cloned buildings,
they they cloned damaged buildings. I mean it was It's
clear what the intent here is, that the intent is
(08:08):
to lie to the American people. They know that they're
willing accomplices in the drive by media internationally, are not
going to investigate, are not going to be curious. Reuters
wasn't even curious. These obvious fakes got past their professional editors,
their photojournalist editors. They didn't get past anything. They tried
to sneak a bunch of fraudulent photos past other media,
(08:30):
at which would not be hard because they're all on
the same page. And of course consumers who read this.
Once again, as in the Dan Rather situation, it was
the blogger sphere that that brought this to light to
everybody's attention, started by Little Green Footballs, and their website
got clogged and other websites picked it up. What we
have if if you're if you're new to this, or
(08:51):
if you haven't seen as much of the detail as
there is to see and as much of the analysis,
because I mean it is devastating, folks, the the photo
analysis that photo journalist experts have engaged in here. We
have quite a few examples on the website now at
rush limball dot com. We put them up uh yesterday.
(09:12):
So I think this is just tip of the iceberg.
I don't think it's just limited to all reuters. I
can't help but go back when I first leveled the
claim here about the phony staged photos in UH in Kana,
how the executive vice president that Carol was her last name,
I can't remember her first name. UH made the remark,
how can people in an air conditioned studio like me,
(09:34):
or in a cubicle with a computer some six thousand
miles away possibly understand what's going on? They don't understand
the competitive nature of what we do in this business
is no competitive nature, because what we have found is
that in the case of Kana, the media is heard
it into a waiting area there all there is no
competitive anything. And then there they are two guys been
(09:57):
named white t shirt and green helmet. And these guys
are always on the scene at virtually every disaster in Lebanon,
and they parade these corpses before the media gaggle UH
on a certain occasion than four hours later, before a
certain backdrops of the same pictures go out with different
time stamps on them. There's no competition. They're just sitting ducks.
(10:18):
They're just hurting their waiting like they do every day.
You think they go out and report news, Hell, they
wait for the fax machine, they wait for press releases,
talking points from their buddies, um and and then that
stirs and you wonder how every news media person in
this country ended up calling Cheney gravitas after he was
nominated to be VP. We've got that montage. I don't
want to play it for you, but over thirty five
(10:39):
media people over the course of a week referring to
that choice as having gravitas because Bush was a lightweight. Um. So,
I mean, this is a really serious thing as far
as I'm concerned, because you know, it's sort of like
I've always told you, with law enforcement, they're just as
a natural tendency on the part of citizens. Forget politics here,
(11:01):
there's a natural tendency on the on the part of
of citizens to believe law enforcement. Law enforcement is the
good guys. They're always the guys in the white hats,
and they're always going out grabbing the bad guys. And
when they say somebody did something that the human nature
tendency is to believe it. Big media benefits from the
same thing. It's just been there. They're there on the scene.
(11:22):
They're trying to get the facts. And plus when they
show you pictures, pictures are what move and in many cases,
and in this case, all Reuters is being done in
by the by the pictures. Uh. But this is this
is I think on purpose, especially by all Reuters, for
the express purpose of harming and destroying the Israeli's effort
(11:44):
to win this war. They have clearly chosen sides, and
it is with the Hesbos. Much of what I call
the drive by media has done the same thing. Now
you may be hearing about this for the first time.
I don't know how engaged you were over the weekend
and how much you have been aware of this. But
if if this is the first year hearing of it,
there's a reason nobody in the drive by media in
(12:06):
this country is the least interested in this. Nobody just
like they were not interested in rather for a while.
What happened after the rather exposure was that the drive
by media started denigrating the blogosphere, calling them the pajama media,
bunch of lazy guys who don't go report the no editors, Well,
there are no editors at all Reuters either, and if
(12:28):
there are editors at all Reuters. They're worthless skunks. They
have no excuse on this. Uh. They they're they're with
drawing the portfolio, with drawing the pictures and so forth. Uh,
and that seems to satisfy. Oh, we made a mistake. Okay,
Reuters has corrected it. There's no curiosity the rest of
the media. But well, we'll wait a minute. They're doctoring photos.
(12:49):
Could they be doctoring captions and making them up? If
they're doctoring photos, maybe did what we learned that came
out of Kinna actually not happen. No curiosity, no desire
to go revisit it. That's the drive by media. You
drive by, you throw words and images into the crowd,
totally distort, totally shake things up. You get everybody all
royaled up. Then you drive down the road to the
(13:11):
next event and do the same thing. Uh. It's gonna
be interesting to see if anybody in the uh in
the mainstream drive by media in this country has any
outrage over this in terms of at least wondering if
that kind of thing will boomerang or bleed into their
(13:31):
own reputations. You know, they hang there. I bet Reuter's
this this photo guy will end up having the wagon
circled around him. He'll be given a Pulitzer Prize by somebody.
He may be nominated for the for the Nobel Peace
Prize for all I know. Because the trend is for
all these people and the drive by meta to circle
the wagons when one of them is under assault, even
when so blatantly obviously guilty, that it ought to be embarrassing,
(13:55):
and it ought to cause an investigation. It ought to
make these people worry about their own credibility. Industry wid
but nothing, this business of doctored photos and forged documents
courtesy of Dan Blanther. Um, I'm sure you can think
of countless got to get people on the phones, thinking
of of of countless other examples. Uh, it's only gonna
(14:19):
get worse for these people if they don't, uh wise
up here and understand that there are now members of
an alternative media that they're scrutinizing everything there they do,
and their credibility is waning. I mean, there's ABC has
a story again today. This was This is something we
reported on just a couple of weeks ago, if not
(14:39):
even that long ago. Half of us still believe a
rock had weapons of mass destruction. It's it's not the
ABC news website, but it's uh uh, it's an Associated
Press story by Charles J. Hanley, a P special correspondent.
Did did Saddam Hussein's government have weapons of mass destruction?
In two th the three half of America apparently still
(15:02):
think so, A new poll finds an experts see a
raft of reasons why, a draft and drumbeat of voices
from talk radio to die hard bloggers to the Oval Office,
A surprise headline here or there are rallying around a
partisan flag in a growing need for people in their
own minds to justify the war in Iraq. How about
the possibility that they are there or were there? We
(15:25):
everybody knows they were there, and Clinton and carry and everybody.
The Democratic Party warned us of the same thing, but
Mr Hanley of a piece. As people tend to become
independent of reality in these circumstances, says opinion analysts Stephen
cull Uh. Note here the media just beside itself. Half
(15:47):
of us still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction,
and they blame us for being stupid. We're the ones
who who cling to alternative realities. It's inverted me it's
just the exact opposite. It is they who have no curiosity.
It is they who operate on the premise. Now, there
were never any weapons of mass destruction. History on this
(16:10):
didn't begin until George Bush began talking about it. What
Bill Clinton said in what the drive by media wrote
about weapons of mass destruction in two thousand, which we
have documented and found and put on our website, never happened.
Apparently history began when Bush first started talking about this.
(16:30):
Uh So, now, of course you people, uh my number robots,
incapable of self thought, incapable of of your own research.
You're being hoodwinked again by people like me and the
bloggers and of course the deceit ridden Oval office. I
love this. People tend to become independent of reality in
(16:52):
these circumstances. Um, it's not that people think they're still there,
it's that people knew they were there. They had been used.
Joe in Sparta, New Jersey. I'm glad you called. Welcome
to the program sir. How you doing rush second time?
Thank you? Um. I was looking at our Little Green's
footballs about the articles and in the comments, there's a
(17:14):
link to an eighteen minute documentary about the Palestinians. They
show a footage from an unmanned in Israeli drone of
a funeral of one of the martyrs. Well, before they
get to the crowd, they by mistake dropped the litter
and the body supposed body rolls off. Well, the martyr
gets back up and gets on the gets back on
(17:35):
the litter by himself and then gets covered with the flag.
They go to the crowd for this for the cameras.
So it's a fake corpse, a fake corpse, and wasn't
a corpse. It was a live body acting like a corpse.
But he fell off the stretcher or the litter whatever
and had to get back up real quick, and he
got and they have the foot they have the footage
from a unmann drone. He gets back up and they
cover the body up with the with the flag again
(17:58):
and go onto their onto the uh to the photo.
But it's a very informative documentary. It's called Pallywood and
it's off one of the links. Oh yes, I've heard
about this, uh pallywood um. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, the
same term has been uh has been used in a
different form to the attached to hesbala Um Uh pally
(18:21):
bazoo or something. I forget what it is, but it's
it's it's it's all about the fact that they're staging,
they're acting, uh, creating events for cameras. And of course,
you know, here's another thing, uh for I I'm not
gonna sit here and believe that people are this stupid,
that these photo journalists are this. These are freelancers over there,
they live in Lebanon. Um that the Reuters people had
(18:45):
this one guy did Haji, I'll shake all money, whatever
his name is. I couldn't care less anymore. But the
bottom line is, they get these freelancers and they hire.
I mean, you can't tell me that this guy made mistakes.
His mistake was carelessness and getting caught. You can't tell
me these people are innocent victims of their own hearts.
You can't tell me that they're trying to do the
(19:07):
best that they can. And you can't tell me that
the competitive pressures, particularly in a war zone, the primary
culprits here. I think it is totally reasonable to assume
that all these people are actively engaged human beings, and
they're in a war zone. Active engaged human beings think,
(19:28):
and active engaged human beings have an interest in the
outcome of events, and it is clear through all these doctored, fake,
fraudulent photos that people are attempting to present a false
image and impression, hoping to condemn Israel and the pr
sens and the spin phase of this to make their
job even harder, and to also stoke the world up
(19:50):
in in in sensitivity and sympathy and in favor of
the Hesbos. There's no question that's being done on purpose.
It is these Oh my god, we're shocked. Why we
can't believe that these pictures got by our vast professional editors.
They got past the editors because the editors passed them.
(20:10):
Just assume nobody would question it. That's what I mean
with the arrogance these people, even after Dan rather even
after all the other expose as most of the people
in the drive by media still do not get the
fact that they are being investigated on a daily basis
by alternative media. Right before the program started, at a
Drudge posted the following story from Reuter's leban As Prime
(20:33):
Minister Fuad scenario. Uh Senora said on Monday that one
person had been killed in an Israeli airstrike on the
southern border village of Hula, rather than forty as earlier feared.
A residents said about fifty people have been found alive
under the rubble the massacre. It turned out there was
just one person killed. The PM told reporters they thought
(20:55):
the whole building smashed on the heads about forty people.
Thank God they have been saved. Yes, yes, not God.
They bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, is that correction never
makes as much news as the original. Uh. In fact,
I I just saw something about one of these fake
(21:15):
pictures in a drive by. Still can't get it right,
the Israeli F sixteen. It was photographed out of the picture.
They they well, it was in the picture. They showed
apparently four missiles being launched. Four missiles sixteen. Uh, they
were not missiles. It was one flare. It was chaff.
(21:37):
It's stuff jets released to confuse service to air missiles.
And the one flare that was released, of course, was
it's with its blazing front end was cloned into four
different fare flares made it look like missiles, But flares
don't do any destruction. And they're still talking about the
destruction of one missile or was no missile? It was
(21:57):
a flare launched backwards, the jet streaking through this guy
down the flares launched backwards to try to confuse any
surface to air missile. Not hard to understand if you
have a rudimentary understanding of aviation and aircraft, particularly military aircraft. Uh,
let me ask you if you've if you've seen this
story anywhere in the drive by media. There is a
(22:21):
Wahabi Mala or i mom in Saudi Arabia, a cleric
who was instrumental in inspiring Osama bin Laden issued a
fat wad demanding that Saudi's oppose the devil in this context,
the devil has bala? Have you seen this reported? Of
(22:41):
course you haven't seen this, reported a top Sunni cleric,
Saudi Sunny cleric whose ideas inspired Van Lauden, issued a
religion religious edict Saturday disavowing the Shiite guerrilla group his bala.
Evidence that are rift remained among Muslims over the fighting
in Lebanon has bala, which translates is the party of
God is actually the party of the devil, said Shaikh
(23:04):
Safar al Hawali, whose radical views made the al Qaeda
leader one of his followers in the past. Don't pray
for Hezballah, he said in the fat waw that was
posted on his website. So all this talk about Arab
unity and the changing course that Arabs are all of
a sudden siding with with the If that's happening to
(23:25):
any extent, it's just because Hesbala is getting his butt kicked. Uh,
Like I spent great time telling you on Friday. Now,
how about the New York Times. New York Times, as
we know, sympathizes with terrorists. I give you a couple
examples from August the sixth, yesterday, A disciplined Hezballa surprises
Israel with its training, tactics and weapons. Oh, they are
(23:48):
marveling at the New York Times over the military capabilities
of a bunch of terrorists. They're romanticizing them. The second
story from you, and this that was by Stephen Erlanger
and Richard opal Um. The second story Arab World finds
icon in leader of Hezbollah. And this was by Neil mcfarquhar,
(24:09):
who said from Israel last week that he lamented that
what we get now our bushes bombs instead of Kennedy's
milk Uh. Same guy. Arab World finds icon in leader
of Hezbollah, trying to build up the enemy again at
the New York Times. Of course, they're not the enemy
(24:29):
of the New York Times. George W. Bush is the enemy,
and anybody allied with him. In this case, the Israelis,
Uh Bush and the Israelis are the enemy. The success
or failure of any ceasefire in Lebanon will largely hinge
on the opinion of one figure, Seik Hassan Nosrela, the
Secretary General of Hezbollah, who has seen his own aura
(24:50):
and that of his party enhanced immeasurably by battling the
Israeli army for nearly four weeks. Yeah, and they've had
a lot of help out there, knee from fake, forged
photos and pictures, staged events. You and your buddies in
the drive by media have done a bang up job
(25:11):
in shifting world opinion against the Israelis. But this is
this is just over the line. Here the Secretary General
of Hezballah as though they are a legitimate government elected
by their people. Secretary General of Hezballah, who gave him
that title? And if he gave it to himself, why
the world do you respected? Mr Farquhar Secretary, we are
(25:36):
if we are now in the drive by media in
this country. UM extending titles of respect and auras of
admiration to terrorist leaders
You know what struck me over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen,
is how the the big media, the drive by media,
never ever get investigated. They do not investigate themselves. CBS
did over rather, but they had to on that one.
But they never ever get investigated. They can distort, they
can lie, they can ruin people, they can they can
(00:23):
create total false impressions of reality that has real effect
on people's lives, and nobody ever demands an investigation. But
let it be big oil it does something, or let
it be big drug that does something, or big retail
or big tobacco. Well we'll stop the presses that will investigate.
I know the media has First Amendment protections, and I'm
(00:44):
not suggesting Congress should do this. I'm just saying, in
terms of the institutions that guide our lives and shape
are thinking, the one that perhaps has more importance and
more power than any of these others never ever gets
called the task, never ever investigates investigated, while they seek
to investigate and destroy everybody else that gets in their
(01:07):
way or of their agenda. Greetings, my friends, and welcome
Russia Limball back. Full week, well, no, not a full
week of broadcast excellent. Sorry three days. Then off to
Hawaii on the Thursday for a for a golf gig.
What what how can I I'm going to Hawaii. I
got some friends out there. Guy just built a new house.
(01:28):
They're gonna go out They've been beening to go out
there for two I've been putting this off for two years,
and Uh, finally gonna go out there. And the only
time I've got it's gonna get swamp heavy here. Uh
getting the election season and so forth, and anybody, Greetings, folks, Russia, Limball,
the E I B Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for
Advanced Conservative Studies eight to eight to eight eight to
(01:49):
the email addresses Rush at E I B net dot com.
We'll get to this latest resolution attempt by the White
House and I guess the French and the United Nations
to cease hostilities in Lebanon and Israel. Uh. This attempt,
I'm gonna tell you upfront, makes me sick to my stomach.
(02:10):
I hope it fails. I think it's ridiculous, and I
wish somebody just get out of the way and let
the Israelis one time finish the job. What nobody wants
to admit here is that this is all about Iran
and Syria, and if we don't deal with this now,
we're gonna have to deal with it at some point,
mark my words, because there's no such thing as a
(02:31):
sustainable piece, especially a sustainable piece that is established on
the Lebanese is establishing a full fledged government that's gonna
have total control over the Hesbos. If one thing we
know is impossible, it's that this this prime minister doesn't
even want that. He's scared to death of the of
the Hesbos. And this guy Shake Nasrali has become a
(02:52):
rock star in the Arab world, he said Planet Osama
bin Laden. In fact, the the Israeli or the Lebanese
Prime minister has essentially said that this proposed resolution, the
first of two that was announced the President and Secretary
of State Kondo Leeza Rice uh Uh is no good
because it allows Israeli forces to stay in in southern Lebanon.
(03:17):
Of course, it's no good. That's not going to work,
Uh in terms of a ceasefire is international force and
so for that it just frustrates me. More on that
in just a second of the beginning and the opening
of the program, here about the media never being investigated.
I'm sure many of you might now have heard of
the the literal fraud perpetrated by all Reuters with all
(03:39):
of the fake and doctored photos coming out of the
action in Lebanon. It's much too numerous to recount verbally here.
We have posted at Russia limbau dot com. I was
up till three in the morning on Sunday working on
this when I first heard about this, and trying to
organize all that's out there in the blogosphere. Little Green
Footballs was the first to call attention to this. Charles Johnson,
(04:01):
who runs that blog, has had his life threatened now
by a Reuter's Well, we think it's a Reuter's in place.
Somebody has used a Reuter's email address to send him
a death threat, essentially saying he can't wait the writers
and can't wait to see Charles Johnson's throat slit. Uh.
It all started with a bunch of fake photos about
(04:22):
bombing attacks in Beirut. Photoshop has a clone tool. If
you use Photoshop, you're you're familiar with this, and you
can clone various in any aspect of a photo that
you want, And they did it with the smoke and
it was just horribly done. It was so obviously hurried,
it was not even professional, and even a professional attempt
to a doctor, the pictures couldn't stand up to the
(04:42):
light of day. Reuters took a while before they retracted
the picture, but it's already out there. He had already
been on front pages of newspapers, just like these phony
Bologny plastic banana pictures that have come out of Kanna.
We now know that much of these are staged. Uh,
there are two other questionable pictures are actually more than that.
This is tip of the iceberg, folks, Dan rather was
just the tip of the iceberg. This stuff going on
(05:04):
here is is confirming every suspicion I've had about fake
news oriented toward the action line per story, that drive
by media types have anything outside that doesn't permeate, doesn't register,
and they're not interested in it. And in fact they'll
go so even make things up and enhance things and
make it look worse than it was to advance their storyline. Uh.
(05:27):
Reuters ought to be disgraced forever over this um. They
ought to be investigated, They ought to they have to
investigate themselves. Haven't heard any call for this and that's
what made me realize this, this outfit, this bunch, this industry,
as destructive as it can be, both to individuals, to corporations, UH,
and to cultures and societies, never ever gets investigated, nor
(05:50):
do the individuals in it ever get investigated. Now, this
this second picture, and this was a doozy. The second
picture purported to show oh in Israeli F sixteen or
the F sixteen was not in the picture frame. It
was cropped out. What it showed was three or four
missiles being launched, obviously on innocent civilian targets. The caption
(06:12):
is as important as the picture. It turns out that
the real picture was of an Israeli F sixteen UH
firing off one flare as in chaff to try to
confuse surface to air missiles if the heads bows have
any and if they were going to launch any you
take the picture, you duplicate or clone the flare UH
(06:36):
and its streak of smoke through the sky which was
being emitted in from behind UH the F sixteen. When
you see the real picture, the cropped version made it
look like these are missiles that had been fired over
four of them. UH. The other thing that has just
been discovered, and I'm sure from that count was more.
There have to be count was more, not just with
Wreiter's uh this this guy writers has finally said, uh,
(07:00):
we're we're not going to use this freelancer anymore. Naji Haji,
I'll shake whatever his name is. I couldn't care less.
And they've pulled his entire portfolio from their website. Uh
and and but there's another picture showed from from about
a week apart. First picture is a wide angle view
of a destroyed building somewhere in in Lebanon, and I
(07:23):
think it's on July August four. The same picture, well,
a picture at the same place close up showing one
of the same buildings with a forlorn woman walking through
the rubble, was set out on the wire again as
evidence of a second bombing. It was the same place,
the same destruction, with the different angles, different fields of
(07:47):
view from the viewfinder, and it's all been portrayed as
as uh, two separate attacks. In the first instance, where
the smoke was cloned to make it look as as
though the whole anywheres was on fire. They even cloned buildings,
they they cloned damaged buildings. I mean it was It's
clear what the intent here is, that the intent is
(08:08):
to lie to the American people. They know that they're
willing accomplices in the drive by media internationally, are not
going to investigate, are not going to be curious. Reuters
wasn't even curious. These obvious fakes got past their professional editors,
their photojournalist editors. They didn't get past anything. They tried
to sneak a bunch of fraudulent photos past other media,
(08:30):
at which would not be hard because they're all on
the same page. And of course consumers who read this.
Once again, as in the Dan Rather situation, it was
the blogger sphere that that brought this to light to
everybody's attention, started by Little Green Footballs, and their website
got clogged and other websites picked it up. What we
have if if you're if you're new to this, or
(08:51):
if you haven't seen as much of the detail as
there is to see and as much of the analysis,
because I mean it is devastating, folks, the the photo
analysis that photo journalist experts have engaged in here. We
have quite a few examples on the website now at
rush limball dot com. We put them up uh yesterday.
(09:12):
So I think this is just tip of the iceberg.
I don't think it's just limited to all reuters. I
can't help but go back when I first leveled the
claim here about the phony staged photos in UH in Kana,
how the executive vice president that Carol was her last name,
I can't remember her first name. UH made the remark,
how can people in an air conditioned studio like me,
(09:34):
or in a cubicle with a computer some six thousand
miles away possibly understand what's going on? They don't understand
the competitive nature of what we do in this business
is no competitive nature, because what we have found is
that in the case of Kana, the media is heard
it into a waiting area there all there is no
competitive anything. And then there they are two guys been
(09:57):
named white t shirt and green helmet. And these guys
are always on the scene at virtually every disaster in Lebanon,
and they parade these corpses before the media gaggle UH
on a certain occasion than four hours later, before a
certain backdrops of the same pictures go out with different
time stamps on them. There's no competition. They're just sitting ducks.
(10:18):
They're just hurting their waiting like they do every day.
You think they go out and report news, Hell, they
wait for the fax machine, they wait for press releases,
talking points from their buddies, um and and then that
stirs and you wonder how every news media person in
this country ended up calling Cheney gravitas after he was
nominated to be VP. We've got that montage. I don't
want to play it for you, but over thirty five
(10:39):
media people over the course of a week referring to
that choice as having gravitas because Bush was a lightweight. Um. So,
I mean, this is a really serious thing as far
as I'm concerned, because you know, it's sort of like
I've always told you, with law enforcement, they're just as
a natural tendency on the part of citizens. Forget politics here,
(11:01):
there's a natural tendency on the on the part of
of citizens to believe law enforcement. Law enforcement is the
good guys. They're always the guys in the white hats,
and they're always going out grabbing the bad guys. And
when they say somebody did something that the human nature
tendency is to believe it. Big media benefits from the
same thing. It's just been there. They're there on the scene.
(11:22):
They're trying to get the facts. And plus when they
show you pictures, pictures are what move and in many cases,
and in this case, all Reuters is being done in
by the by the pictures. Uh. But this is this
is I think on purpose, especially by all Reuters, for
the express purpose of harming and destroying the Israeli's effort
(11:44):
to win this war. They have clearly chosen sides, and
it is with the Hesbos. Much of what I call
the drive by media has done the same thing. Now
you may be hearing about this for the first time.
I don't know how engaged you were over the weekend
and how much you have been aware of this. But
if if this is the first year hearing of it,
there's a reason nobody in the drive by media in
(12:06):
this country is the least interested in this. Nobody just
like they were not interested in rather for a while.
What happened after the rather exposure was that the drive
by media started denigrating the blogosphere, calling them the pajama media,
bunch of lazy guys who don't go report the no editors, Well,
there are no editors at all Reuters either, and if
(12:28):
there are editors at all Reuters. They're worthless skunks. They
have no excuse on this. Uh. They they're they're with
drawing the portfolio, with drawing the pictures and so forth. Uh,
and that seems to satisfy. Oh, we made a mistake. Okay,
Reuters has corrected it. There's no curiosity the rest of
the media. But well, we'll wait a minute. They're doctoring photos.
(12:49):
Could they be doctoring captions and making them up? If
they're doctoring photos, maybe did what we learned that came
out of Kinna actually not happen. No curiosity, no desire
to go revisit it. That's the drive by media. You
drive by, you throw words and images into the crowd,
totally distort, totally shake things up. You get everybody all
royaled up. Then you drive down the road to the
(13:11):
next event and do the same thing. Uh. It's gonna
be interesting to see if anybody in the uh in
the mainstream drive by media in this country has any
outrage over this in terms of at least wondering if
that kind of thing will boomerang or bleed into their
(13:31):
own reputations. You know, they hang there. I bet Reuter's
this this photo guy will end up having the wagon
circled around him. He'll be given a Pulitzer Prize by somebody.
He may be nominated for the for the Nobel Peace
Prize for all I know. Because the trend is for
all these people and the drive by meta to circle
the wagons when one of them is under assault, even
when so blatantly obviously guilty, that it ought to be embarrassing,
(13:55):
and it ought to cause an investigation. It ought to
make these people worry about their own credibility. Industry wid
but nothing, this business of doctored photos and forged documents
courtesy of Dan Blanther. Um, I'm sure you can think
of countless got to get people on the phones, thinking
of of of countless other examples. Uh, it's only gonna
(14:19):
get worse for these people if they don't, uh wise
up here and understand that there are now members of
an alternative media that they're scrutinizing everything there they do,
and their credibility is waning. I mean, there's ABC has
a story again today. This was This is something we
reported on just a couple of weeks ago, if not
(14:39):
even that long ago. Half of us still believe a
rock had weapons of mass destruction. It's it's not the
ABC news website, but it's uh uh, it's an Associated
Press story by Charles J. Hanley, a P special correspondent.
Did did Saddam Hussein's government have weapons of mass destruction?
In two th the three half of America apparently still
(15:02):
think so, A new poll finds an experts see a
raft of reasons why, a draft and drumbeat of voices
from talk radio to die hard bloggers to the Oval Office,
A surprise headline here or there are rallying around a
partisan flag in a growing need for people in their
own minds to justify the war in Iraq. How about
the possibility that they are there or were there? We
(15:25):
everybody knows they were there, and Clinton and carry and everybody.
The Democratic Party warned us of the same thing, but
Mr Hanley of a piece. As people tend to become
independent of reality in these circumstances, says opinion analysts Stephen
cull Uh. Note here the media just beside itself. Half
(15:47):
of us still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction,
and they blame us for being stupid. We're the ones
who who cling to alternative realities. It's inverted me it's
just the exact opposite. It is they who have no curiosity.
It is they who operate on the premise. Now, there
were never any weapons of mass destruction. History on this
(16:10):
didn't begin until George Bush began talking about it. What
Bill Clinton said in what the drive by media wrote
about weapons of mass destruction in two thousand, which we
have documented and found and put on our website, never happened.
Apparently history began when Bush first started talking about this.
(16:30):
Uh So, now, of course you people, uh my number robots,
incapable of self thought, incapable of of your own research.
You're being hoodwinked again by people like me and the
bloggers and of course the deceit ridden Oval office. I
love this. People tend to become independent of reality in
(16:52):
these circumstances. Um, it's not that people think they're still there,
it's that people knew they were there. They had been used.
Joe in Sparta, New Jersey. I'm glad you called. Welcome
to the program sir. How you doing rush second time?
Thank you? Um. I was looking at our Little Green's
footballs about the articles and in the comments, there's a
(17:14):
link to an eighteen minute documentary about the Palestinians. They
show a footage from an unmanned in Israeli drone of
a funeral of one of the martyrs. Well, before they
get to the crowd, they by mistake dropped the litter
and the body supposed body rolls off. Well, the martyr
gets back up and gets on the gets back on
(17:35):
the litter by himself and then gets covered with the flag.
They go to the crowd for this for the cameras.
So it's a fake corpse, a fake corpse, and wasn't
a corpse. It was a live body acting like a corpse.
But he fell off the stretcher or the litter whatever
and had to get back up real quick, and he
got and they have the foot they have the footage
from a unmann drone. He gets back up and they
cover the body up with the with the flag again
(17:58):
and go onto their onto the uh to the photo.
But it's a very informative documentary. It's called Pallywood and
it's off one of the links. Oh yes, I've heard
about this, uh pallywood um. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, the
same term has been uh has been used in a
different form to the attached to hesbala Um Uh pally
(18:21):
bazoo or something. I forget what it is, but it's
it's it's it's all about the fact that they're staging,
they're acting, uh, creating events for cameras. And of course,
you know, here's another thing, uh for I I'm not
gonna sit here and believe that people are this stupid,
that these photo journalists are this. These are freelancers over there,
they live in Lebanon. Um that the Reuters people had
(18:45):
this one guy did Haji, I'll shake all money, whatever
his name is. I couldn't care less anymore. But the
bottom line is, they get these freelancers and they hire.
I mean, you can't tell me that this guy made mistakes.
His mistake was carelessness and getting caught. You can't tell
me these people are innocent victims of their own hearts.
You can't tell me that they're trying to do the
(19:07):
best that they can. And you can't tell me that
the competitive pressures, particularly in a war zone, the primary
culprits here. I think it is totally reasonable to assume
that all these people are actively engaged human beings, and
they're in a war zone. Active engaged human beings think,
(19:28):
and active engaged human beings have an interest in the
outcome of events, and it is clear through all these doctored, fake,
fraudulent photos that people are attempting to present a false
image and impression, hoping to condemn Israel and the pr
sens and the spin phase of this to make their
job even harder, and to also stoke the world up
(19:50):
in in in sensitivity and sympathy and in favor of
the Hesbos. There's no question that's being done on purpose.
It is these Oh my god, we're shocked. Why we
can't believe that these pictures got by our vast professional editors.
They got past the editors because the editors passed them.
(20:10):
Just assume nobody would question it. That's what I mean
with the arrogance these people, even after Dan rather even
after all the other expose as most of the people
in the drive by media still do not get the
fact that they are being investigated on a daily basis
by alternative media. Right before the program started, at a
Drudge posted the following story from Reuter's leban As Prime
(20:33):
Minister Fuad scenario. Uh Senora said on Monday that one
person had been killed in an Israeli airstrike on the
southern border village of Hula, rather than forty as earlier feared.
A residents said about fifty people have been found alive
under the rubble the massacre. It turned out there was
just one person killed. The PM told reporters they thought
(20:55):
the whole building smashed on the heads about forty people.
Thank God they have been saved. Yes, yes, not God.
They bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, is that correction never
makes as much news as the original. Uh. In fact,
I I just saw something about one of these fake
(21:15):
pictures in a drive by. Still can't get it right,
the Israeli F sixteen. It was photographed out of the picture.
They they well, it was in the picture. They showed
apparently four missiles being launched. Four missiles sixteen. Uh, they
were not missiles. It was one flare. It was chaff.
(21:37):
It's stuff jets released to confuse service to air missiles.
And the one flare that was released, of course, was
it's with its blazing front end was cloned into four
different fare flares made it look like missiles, But flares
don't do any destruction. And they're still talking about the
destruction of one missile or was no missile? It was
(21:57):
a flare launched backwards, the jet streaking through this guy
down the flares launched backwards to try to confuse any
surface to air missile. Not hard to understand if you
have a rudimentary understanding of aviation and aircraft, particularly military aircraft. Uh,
let me ask you if you've if you've seen this
story anywhere in the drive by media. There is a
(22:21):
Wahabi Mala or i mom in Saudi Arabia, a cleric
who was instrumental in inspiring Osama bin Laden issued a
fat wad demanding that Saudi's oppose the devil in this context,
the devil has bala? Have you seen this reported? Of
(22:41):
course you haven't seen this, reported a top Sunni cleric,
Saudi Sunny cleric whose ideas inspired Van Lauden, issued a
religion religious edict Saturday disavowing the Shiite guerrilla group his bala.
Evidence that are rift remained among Muslims over the fighting
in Lebanon has bala, which translates is the party of
God is actually the party of the devil, said Shaikh
(23:04):
Safar al Hawali, whose radical views made the al Qaeda
leader one of his followers in the past. Don't pray
for Hezballah, he said in the fat waw that was
posted on his website. So all this talk about Arab
unity and the changing course that Arabs are all of
a sudden siding with with the If that's happening to
(23:25):
any extent, it's just because Hesbala is getting his butt kicked. Uh,
Like I spent great time telling you on Friday. Now,
how about the New York Times. New York Times, as
we know, sympathizes with terrorists. I give you a couple
examples from August the sixth, yesterday, A disciplined Hezballa surprises
Israel with its training, tactics and weapons. Oh, they are
(23:48):
marveling at the New York Times over the military capabilities
of a bunch of terrorists. They're romanticizing them. The second
story from you, and this that was by Stephen Erlanger
and Richard opal Um. The second story Arab World finds
icon in leader of Hezbollah. And this was by Neil mcfarquhar,
(24:09):
who said from Israel last week that he lamented that
what we get now our bushes bombs instead of Kennedy's
milk Uh. Same guy. Arab World finds icon in leader
of Hezbollah, trying to build up the enemy again at
the New York Times. Of course, they're not the enemy
(24:29):
of the New York Times. George W. Bush is the enemy,
and anybody allied with him. In this case, the Israelis,
Uh Bush and the Israelis are the enemy. The success
or failure of any ceasefire in Lebanon will largely hinge
on the opinion of one figure, Seik Hassan Nosrela, the
Secretary General of Hezbollah, who has seen his own aura
(24:50):
and that of his party enhanced immeasurably by battling the
Israeli army for nearly four weeks. Yeah, and they've had
a lot of help out there, knee from fake, forged
photos and pictures, staged events. You and your buddies in
the drive by media have done a bang up job
(25:11):
in shifting world opinion against the Israelis. But this is
this is just over the line. Here the Secretary General
of Hezballah as though they are a legitimate government elected
by their people. Secretary General of Hezballah, who gave him
that title? And if he gave it to himself, why
the world do you respected? Mr Farquhar Secretary, we are
(25:36):
if we are now in the drive by media in
this country. UM extending titles of respect and auras of
admiration to terrorist leaders
