That passes for hate these days, you know?
Yep, newspeak
Back then, there was not even the slightest couterweight. Remember the hoopla about Bush, grocery scanners, and milk prices? Or the non-existant reporting about the recovering economy? Or when George Steponallus was allowed to sneak attack President Bush on the Larry King show through the "caller line"? Or when "60 Minutes" personally stepped in and allowed the Klintons to lie on their TV show, thus saving their campaign? Today at least there are other avenues in the media.
