Every Republican villain will one day live long enough to be a lefty hero.

I can't wait for twenty years from now when the media is fondly remembering Trump while denouncing its latest conservative hate target. And meanwhile the media is cynically exploiting McCain's death to bash Trump.

New York Times: As a Nation Mourns McCain, Trump Is Conspicuously Absent

The NYT turned down a McCain op-ed during the election. (But not one from Islamic terrorists.) And called McCain's campaign appalling.

"Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin have been running one of the most appalling campaigns we can remember," the Tuesday editorial said. "They have gone far beyond the usual fare of quotes taken out of context and distortions of an opponent’s record — into the dark territory of race-baiting and xenophobia. Senator Barack Obama has taken some cheap shots at Mr. McCain, but there is no comparison."

When he was alive, the media accused McCain of racism, race baiting and xenophobia.

Now that he is deceased the same media is using McCain as a weapon to attack Trump.

Everything the media said before has disappeared down the Orwellian memory hole.

The media is dishonest and corrupt.

There's GOOD reasons why the phrase fake news applies to the MSM. This is one of them.

It’s NOT news until Democrats and their goons in Intelligence tell the New York Times it’s ‘news’....

“If you’re John McCain, and running against Democratic patron saint Obama for the White House, the Washington Post will attack your Naval record. But if you’re John McCain, who runs a political platform of skullduggery against President Trump years later, the Washington Post eulogizes you as a national hero after your death.”

Good or bad, true or false matters not,
only how it can be used against Trump.

There is no truth for the left. It’s whatever they can say to get an advantage. If they later contradict what they said, it’s perfectly Ok with them. They have no principles. They believe in nothing. They lie, cheat and steal whenever convenient. They are fake, phony, fraud.

Ask me my opinion.

To the left, “the cause” is above everything else.

More important than the media’s hypocrisy, is the fact that the GOP establishment are perfectly fine with the media picking and choosing when they want to attack a Republican and when they want to praise a Republican ( and they only offer praise when they want to attack a different Republican). It’s all Kabuki theater, brought to you by the uniparty. Thank God for Trump!

Exactly. The issue is never the issue. The cause is always the issue. We want a border wall for protection, they want open borders cause it means more votes for the cause. So it is worthless to debate them.
