Ed Schultz: "The Mainstream Media Wants Obamacare To Fail"
ED SCHULTZ: Everybody loves their dog. I'm no different. I want to introduce you to my best buddy. This is Buck. He's nine and a half years old. I call him the Buckster. And let me tell you something. There is no black lab in America that can hunt like that dog. He will hunt the same way every time. There could be one bird in the field. There could be 50,000. But let me tell you something, that loyal dog right there, that Buckster, he gets after it. He knows how to get after it. And he's so great with the grand kids too. I don't know if you like black labs or not, I do. I just think they're fantastic. But this guy has been something special to our family. The only time he gets mad is when somebody is trying to take something from him. You know, if he's got a bone if you even walk near him, he's --[growling sound ] Sometimes we have this trainer. We have another black lab named Ducky. Well, Ducky comes over and tries to grab the trainer from Buck and that's when he really gets mad.
He's like a pitbull. He just will not let it go. That's how we have to be. We have to be loyal to the cause. We have to hunt the same way every day, no matter how many birds or h negativity is out there. We go after it the same way every time. That's how you win! Now, maybe you're in the locker room tonight, which is okay with me. But I'll tell you what, there has been an onslaught of negativity on health care in this country which just baffles my mind.
Why is it that people in the media have a fascination with failure? They will take a number and they will make a negative story out of it. Well, sometimes there's only one bird in the field. But if you harvest in it, you're going to eat good tonight. Why is it that we have people in the media in this country that, as I said, are fixed on failure, or fixated with something negative that they just want to drive it home. But do they understand the human element of this? About how this is hurting people if ObamaCare doesn't succeed?
Now I want to profoundly point out again, everybody who is in front of the cable cameras and everybody who is in front of the network cameras, they're doing pretty well. They're not on minimum wage. And they have all got health care. Most of them have never had a health care struggle in their life. But yet they're almost like promotional items on negative numbers. We're America. We're Americans. We have done a lot of great things generation after generation. We've called on people to sacrifice, and we have survived as a great nation. Why is it that all of a sudden, we have this huge conflict in this pitbull mentality that we just won't give up? The mainstream media, I believe, wants ObamaCare to fail. They look for every negative number they can find. They're afraid to do a positive story, because they're afraid that somebody might not watch. The media is just cherry picking the bad facts that are out there, repeating them over and over again, and in many cases, they're making stuff up.
