No, I go back to the famous LBJ bomb commercial. My statement still stands. While the people you mentioned did have some problems with the MSM, it was not at the level of what they have done to Ron Paul.
Actually Gary Hart was the darling of a lot of the press until the incident with the boat.
Also all of the people you mentioned had defenders in at least a portion of the media. Nor do I remember any newscasters actually lying to discredit any of you candidates mentioned above.
Let's see, before the election of 1992 the Lame Stream Media was telling the American people that the economy was in the toilet. Almost immediately after Clintoon took office the economy miraculously recovered. Yeah, I guess you're right. The Lame Stream Media has never lied about a candidate for President before R-U-N Paul. Let's see, before the 2000 election the Lame Stream Media reported that George W. Bush had not actually served in the National Guard; they also tried to make accusations of drug abuse stick to him as well. I guess, yet again, you're right. The Lame Stream Media had never lied about a GOP candidate until R-U-N Paul. I could go on, but for the sake of brevity, I'll let these two incidents stand on their own merits.
