The outside the beltway conservative radio preachers and commentators I listened to in the 1970’s all were as disgusted as I was with the liberal media and their attacks on Nixon.
But they also pointed out Nixon’s expansion of government and his appeasement of communism.
Since 1901 all the presidents except Taft, Harding, Coolidge and Reagan have moved this country leftward at different rates of speed.
And I think that’s wrong.
The liberal media is still the liberal media and I’m not going to change it. Bitterness and resentment doesn’t work either and I got fired from my media job with a cloud over my tiny attempts to be “fair and balanced”.
Sorry about your job. That stinks. I think we’re pretty much on the same page regarding Nixon. I am a realist. You can’t deny the negative aspects of the man.
Thanks for the discussion.
