So much for journalist impartiality

Newspapers and reporters have never been impartial...but the myth that they are causes a lot of people to believe whatever they read...

So now Rush has revealed that the Occupy Wall Street folks are getting advice from the very journalists who are supposed to be reporting, not making stories!

And Rush is upset that the Republican "ruling class" is, as usual, trying to softpedal their own beliefs, instead of hitting back hard on this garbage.

Rush: Also, do you know -- this probably will not surprise you, Andrew Breitbart has dug this one up. That journalists are advising the protesters? E-mails have been found, journalists at MSNBC, Dylan Ratigan at MSNBC and some guy Matt Taibbi are sending e-mails back and forth with organizers telling them how to position their demands, that they've got to have some demands, how they can improve their coverage. This whole thing is a construct of the media-Democrat complex, industrial complex. "Occupy Wall Street Emails Show MSM, Dylan Ratigan, Working With Protesters To Craft Message."
Dana Loesch has actually written about it. "Big Journalism has learned that the Occupy Washington DC movement is working with well-known media members to craft its demands and messaging while these media members report on the movement. Someone has made the emails from the Occupy Wall Street email distro public and searchable. The names in the list are a veritable who’s who in media."

The names on the list are a veritable who's who in the media. Dylan Radigan, Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone, Noam Chomsky, Bill Moyers. All of these so-called journalists are advising via e-mail the organizers of the DC protest how to position their demands and what to say. "It doesn't matter, Rush, it's on television, and it's on television, and looks like people are sympathetic to it. We Republicans have to react to it. We can't just sit here and be critical." Well, you can teach, you can try to inform and educate people. But, see, that's not what this bunch is about. This bunch is about making no waves, trying to capitalize as much as they can, make sure that the impression that Republicans are mean, selfish so-and-so is not true, go out of our way. Anyway the same old same old

and
Anyway, he goes on to say that "The mystery that will launch a thousand media seminars is: How did a modest encampment in Zuccotti Park morph in less than a month into a global news story?" You don't need a seminar to answer that. All you need is an understanding of the media and its alliance with the Democrat Party. It's a fraud! It's a hoax! It has been planned to distract people's attention from Obama and Washington and zeroing in on Wall Street. The media's a bunch of hippies from the sixties anyway. They don't understand economics or anything else, but they understand protest.
