[pabianice]

Pretty good president, too.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Presstitutes” is the correct term.

[Responsibility2nd]

Presstitutes.

[Mr. K]

Presstitutes or my new favorite “Whorenalists”

[Navy Patriot]

Harry Truman once compared the press to prostitutes

An unnecessary affront to prostitutes, he could have used the rabies virus or tapeworms.

[Mr. K]

oohh I got a good one: “Urinealists”

[mulligan]

He told the truth. Describes the press perfectly.

[Bogie]

Deny the existence of Key West and wipe Truman from the history books.

[sport]

That is a bad comparison. The prostitute provided a service for the fee. I would, even though I personally believe the parasite is the better entity, compare the press to a parasite. A reporter, or journalists, as they refer to themselves meets all the attributes of a parasite.

[Red Badger]

He insulted prostitutes?...............

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Ridden hard and put away dry …"

[Little Ray]

Why did Truman insult prostitutes so badly? What did they ever do to him?

[Sequoyah101]

Have they already labeled Trump a racist? If not they will soon.

That is the equivalent of communist in the McArthy era. For all the mind numbed robots, young skulls full of mush, recent products of public screwl edumacations and those in Rio Linda, the McArthy era was when we nearly self-destructed in the 50s because people got it in their minds there was a communist behind every tree and all you had to do to destroy someone was to claim he was a communist. Countless innocent lives were ruined.

I’m railing against stupidity today over the freaks who know and care nothing for either history or tradition. The fools who are so stupid they mistake a peace monument for a civil war monument and tear it down, for the fools who destroy works of art that they otherwise know nothing of nor take notice of until their feeble little minds are whipped into a frenzy of hatred. They don’t even know how frail and easily led their little minds are nor that they are merely useful idiots who will be killed by their own masters if it is ever expedient.

The other side of skin heads, white supremacists and true racists are equally to blame for this current shame.

Trump is right.

Harry Truman once compared the press to prostitutes

His was only a comparison. They have since proved they are in fact whores. Between the whores of government and them I am not sure which is worse.

[NurdlyPeon]

That’s the trouble with comparing politicians to prostitutes.
The next day you have to turn around and apologize to them.

[xrmusn]

I heard that he apologized later.

To the Prostitutes.

[NorthMountain]

I have more respect for actual prostitutes. Even skanky, dried up crack-whores ...

[Savage Beast]

Truman is one of only a few truly great U.S. Presidents.

Truman and Reagan were the only Great Presidents of the 20th century.

Truman likened the press to whores. Reagan likened politicians to whores. Both were right.

[joesbucks]

And to think we desire to return to the press of that time when in fact it appears they are the same today as yesterday.
