I learned the truth about the media during the Reagan years. I watched the Iran/Contra hearings and saw Oliver North testify. I though, wow, this guys okay. Seems honest and has the right motivations.

Then i watched the "news" reports about it. He was a liar, evavsive and practically a criminal.

A light bulb came on and I started seeing the reality of the media.

Agreed. Iran/Contra was a revelation. It was at that time that I realized the national media hated Republicans generally, but it was still a while before it became clear that there was a strategy and an evil ideology behind what they were doing.
