RUSH: You know what else didn’t get covered? The riots in St. Louis. And there are dead people. There is a tremendous number of injuries, and the Drive-Bys didn’t go! Somebody explain that to me. I mean, it was billed as Ferguson 2.0.
On Thursday, or Friday, I forget which, our blowtorch affiliate in St. Louis preempted the program to go all local to cover the riots. There wasn’t any national TV coverage of these things. So, in essence, to a lot of people they didn’t happen. They did; don’t misunderstand. And it was violent, and it was raucous, but nobody knows because it didn’t get covered. So I wonder why. The Drive-Bys could barely muster the energy to cover them, much less wall to wall, as they have in the past. Maybe it’s the fact that the actual event was four years ago when it happened, but still.
