Yes....next question.
The Leftward bias of “the press” has grown alot since Nixon.
It has grown so much that some of the themes and ideas of the Left have infected some “Conservatives” even right here in this forumn.
Current Western MSM is run by juvenile emotions, the biggest being hate, with envy a close second. The Russian Derangement Syndrome, the Trump Derangement Syndrome, the hate for anti-vaxers, the hate for the wealthy, and on and on.
Most liberals are haters and athiests. They will never have any Peace.
For them I offer up a cure. Try Jesus, if you don’t like him, Satan will always take you back.
I think Nixon should be credited with winning the Vietnam war and bring the troops home with honor and victory.
The Democrat Congress then defunded the defense of South Vietnam. Let that sink in. Consider Democrats defunding the police in some US cities. Democrats defunded the South Vietnamese military. There was also accompanying, complimentary legislation. Had President Ford attempted to send an aircraft carrier to provide air defense, the Democrats in Congress would have impeached him in a heartbeat.
The Democrats surrendered South Vietnam. They rendered the death of about 60,000 Americans pointless. That is what they did. Why? Perhaps so they could deny Nixon the credit he was due.
