My disgust for the press is growing exponentially.
I agree they always fall apart, but often not in time to make a difference.
Take FDR for example. He managed to successfully put the blame for his troubles on the previous President, no just for his term of office, but for generations beyond.
Roosevelt, was the only President to preside over years of 15% unemployment, unconstitutionally try to stack the Supreme Court and in one of the biggest denial of civil rights ever, incarcerate in concentration camps thousands of law abiding American citizens. Any one of these would have brought down other Presidents. Yet we built a memorial this this charlatan.
More recently, in Michigan, governor has managed to raise taxes, user fees, and create a horrid business environment. The Michigan economy has been in the dumpster her entire time in office and this once proud state is a laughing stock for a nation soon to find itself in very similar circumstance. Despite her gross incompetence, Jenny has been able to win re-election and successfully blame all of her trouble on her predecessor and President Bush.
The truth will come out - but will it be soon enough?
Agreed. At one point, he called a reporter's name, followed by "where is she". Tells me he had a list to follow.
Or, “why did you take control of the Census?”
When the press inevitably starts to ask the tough questions, I can’t wait for that empty suit to get angry! Wait’ll we see how they treat him then.
