From Rush Limbaugh:
RUSH: I think they wave their fees on charitable auctions. But even had they not, we were going to pays those. The high bidder, the winner of the Harry Reid letter, was not going to have any expense whatsoever associated with this. But, look, I predicted to you people on Friday: Once Dingy Harry came out with that last-minute appeal to make it look like he was part of the fundraising effort all along, I said, "The whole purpose of this is designed to get the Drive-By Media, which are in the tank for Democrats, an out in order to get Harry Reid involved in this." The last thing they want to do is report success on the part of somebody like me. I've taken my own little informal, personal surveys. You would be amazed. The New York Post has not said a word about it. The New York Times lied about it. The New York Daily News put a one-line blurb or two-line blurb at the end of a big story on radio -- and this is perfectly understandable, folks. These are liberals. If you don't know it by now, you have to understand, or you must try to understand -- and I really don't want to make this about me, but it is, unfortunately. They've had a monopoly. I've said this over and over again: They had a monopoly.
They used to be able to determine what was reported -- and, more importantly, what wasn't reported. They had every media controlled from broadcast, to cable, to print, the magazines and newspapers, and they don't have that anymore. I'm the guy that started the trend that defeated their monopoly. So it's personal with them. You can see it in the way they report. There's an alternative universe here. The media lives in a different world than the rest of us do. As I told somebody on Friday: "To expect validation for what you do, or for what the conservatives get done in this country in the mainstream media -- to even expect objectivity and accurate reporting -- is an expectation that you're only going to be disappointed in because it's never going to be met." We know who they are. We know what angers them. We know their gnashing their teeth over this. That's part of the success and the fun with it. The way to look at this is not that they're not covering it fairly, because we know that's going to happen. The way to look at this is: "Look what we did without them." Not only did they not cover it after the fact, they didn't cover it before or during -- and those that did touch on it got it wrong, as was also predicted. So this was done, this record and so forth was set on eBay without them. It's a positive! It's a net win-win.
