10 or 15 years ago (prior to Clinton's rise to power based on the press, when the press/liberal politicians realized THEY DID have that unbalanced power!) Blair's lies in the NY times would not have happened .... I think you are wrong on the time line. It is very difficult to be sure, but I believe that the OldDominantLiberalMedia started to realize their power when they managed to bring McCarthy down. Then they started to set the agenda, rather than report it. After reading "Silent Coup" about the Watergate affair, I came to think of Watergate as a OldDominantLiberalMedia Coup that brought down a sitting president.

I believe that we have been lied to on a regular basis for four decades or more.
