"Fake News": The Emergence of a Post-Fact World

[SomeGuy]

Quote:LBJ was able to do with he did, including getting us buried in that war, because he was the entitled heir to a fallen martyr. that wouldn't happen today, but it did then.

And let's not litigate the Vietnam War, since I actually lived through the entire debacle. 

It's a side-issue, agreed, so let's move on.

Quote:You have no idea how the country changed by having a young President with fresh ideas. Of course, the Bay of Pigs tarnished that a lot, but Kennedy recovered and faced-down Khrushchev on missiles in Cuba. Then it changed again when he was assassinated. I remember where I was when I heard, just like I remember where I was when the bombers struck the World Trade Center.

So powerful? Yes.

Lot of judgment, Dave.  Did he make you tingle a little bit, too? 
I dunno, I didn't get worked up over the Obama thing either.
