I grew up in an area where there was a large Filipino population.
The TV programs used to go on and on about how wonderful Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos were—they were perfect, they were talented, they were beautiful, on and on and on.
The media were sycophants on steroids. It was really pretty nauseating.
This is what the mainstream media in America remind me of now. All they do is kiss up to the leftist figureheads, no matter how repulsive they are.
I'm sure in the Phillippines the media was forced to worship Ferdinand and Imelda, here nobody forces our media, they willingly do it.
