RUSH: The Media is responsible for creating an artificial reality

Using Hillary as a template before moving on to Obama, Rush explains the artificial reality that the media has spun in the age of statism...

"Nothing's real! Nothing is about substance with these people. ... All that matters is the spin. Will the spin have credibility..."

...

"...It’s all about media. It’s all about spin. It’s all about buzz. It’s all about PR. It isn’t about reality, and one of the things that makes that work is the low-information voter is totally informed by PR and buzz and spin. That’s what they believe to be true. The low-information voter will hear four Americans died in Benghazi, but then if the media’s not upset about it, if there’s not a whole lot of hearings, and if there isn’t any…must not be a big deal. This country, if anything, is prisoner now to crisis management PR and spin and buzz, and that’s the true test of media power."

"The media bias, it is what it is, and it’s been that way forever. What bothers me is I’m mayor of Realville — and the media, which is supposed to be the news of the day, is responsible for creating every day an artificial reality that is indeed artificial."
