WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 01, 2020

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.119
<v Speaker 1>I have a perfect example of how modern journalism works.

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Last Thursday, intrepid CBS White House corresponded, Mark Knoller Broke,

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>historian Twitter Twitter. That's where journalists break news these days,

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>not even on their own networks. Now, this guy Knoehler

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>tweeted that at a White House meal, President trump salt

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>and pepper shakers are bigger than those of his guests

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>at the table. Business Insider reporter James Paisley immediately got

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>in geared to investigate this important lead, and this guy

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.639
<v Speaker 1>fearlessly combed through photos of presidential table settings. He uncovered

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the truth and yes, President Trump has much bigger salt

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and pepper shakers than the foreign leaders or American politicians

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>who dined with him at the White House. By analyzing

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty two news photos, Paisley explored the significance of the

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>president's massive shakers. Paisley postulated President Trump could be using

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>larger salt and pepper shakers as a power move. Like

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 1>his fierce hand aches and the bulky suits that he wears.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>His big shakers may well be a form of intimidation. Now,

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in this deep dive, the journalists discovered that Obama Bush

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>forty three Bill Clinton. They all used the same size

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>shakers as their guests. Imagine the effort it took for

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>this ACE reporter to flesh out these details. I think

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>this guy deserves a pullitzer. His investigative work should be

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>taught in journalism schools everywhere. What do you think those

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>shakers may have microphones in them and may be bugs.

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Ever think about
