Remember how the MSM spread the Democrap spin that Nancy Reagan was shallow, a spendthrift, she wore borrowed gowns from the major fashion houses (the MSM made this into a HUGE scandal). They savaged her so badly that in effect they ruined her reputation and sidelined her.
I remember when Nancy Reagan ordered new china--as in dishes--for the White House. Jackie Kennedy did the same (ordered several different sets as opposed to 1 new pattern) twenty years previous, but poor Mrs. Reagan was made out to be an extravagant ditz by the press.
And then there is the wee fact,that ALL presidents from JFK down, tapped phone calls and discussions in the Oval Office.
