Luke, to a certain degree I agree. I still think it’s much more bold these days, despite there being clear evidence of it in the past. No matter what the full measure of the past was compared to today, we know what is taking place today and I think it’s time we let the media know the gig is up, them being able to shill without cost any longer.
Thanks for the comments.
You referenced the nineties. I agree to a point. The media lizards were always vulgar and biased, but they had people fooled during their witch hunts on McCarthy and Nixon. Theirs was the only voice ever heard in any debate. Reagan just blew them off. Rather, Moyers, and Donaldson were the chief pukes of that era. Jennings and Brokaw didn't seem quite as obnoxious then, but they made up for it later.
But to me, it was with their savaging of Dan Quayle and the hysterical defenses of Bill Clinton that we truly saw the national press corps lose any remaining pretense of objectivity.
They are nothing but partisans for the Dems. This is reality. We go through it every election. But at least we are all fighting the war side by side and armed very , very well with information. My best.
