"Fake News": The Emergence of a Post-Fact World
#23
Quote:There are two major problems with your argument.  First, Hillary was not my candidate.  I held my nose to vote for her in preference to the Orange One, but that's all.  Second, I'm just as angry that the press gave GWB a virtual pass as you are.  My only question: how could a press corps not deeply embedded in Iraq already, have fact checked the CIA, assuming they actually generated the intelligence that was reported. 

GWB got far too much forbearance from the press and the public in general.  For some reason, that's typical for GOP Presidents.  Reagan did too, for reasons also unknown to me.  I watched both in real time, and they made no sense to me then or since.


Well, if it makes you feel better, the press is still gearing up to play that rigidly partisan role you've been hoping for.  Of course, that's just as true for the other side as it for yours.  Hope you're happy.  Smile
