We were all too young to realize it. Kennedy was Camelot. Carter was a good hearted peanut farmer. Clinton was the first black president, hip, and cool. Obama was transformational. But.... Nixon was a paranoid crook Reagan was an old, senile, actor. Ford was a clutz. Bush was a war loving cowboy. Trump is a moronic racist! Do you recognize the pattern? This is what we were all taught in public schools. This is what the National told us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go back that far. Reagan was my first memory as President and I thought he was as smooth as they come. He took the criticism like a boss and fought back with dry human. I hated Bush number one I actually like Bill Clinton. I hated Bush number 2. And Obama was the worst President this country ever saw, but you would never know it if you followed MSM. Trump fights back against these MSM morons and makes me laugh while doing it, so there is never a dull moment. My parents told me I met Trump as a kid and I idolized him, but I don't remember it at all, so I don't buy it that my parents told me this.

SoCal Deek Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Njbuff My list says nothing about my personal feelings about any of those Presidents. I was too young to form an informed opinion of half of them. But you can’t argue with my brief recap of how each was characterized by the national media and by default what our public school teachers told us about each one. I think you’ll agree it’s too long of a list to be a coincidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe everything I read or hear but this may be part of the answer you’re looking for: Mark Levin cites a long, long, long list of the ex-Obama and ex-Clinton administration staff who are now high up in the traditional media sources you’re depending on to provide unbiased news. Once you understand the fact they are NOT trying to give you unbiased news this all makes a lot more sense. Those that are commonly referred to as the Main Street Media are actually just a clown car of Democratic Party operatives laying heavy spin on an unsuspecting electorate. It’s actually brilliant!

Totally get that the partisan operatives are going to partisan operate, so to speak. But not all of the "journalists" that believe objectivity is passe come out of the political ranks. And further, one of the (if not the) best talking head of the last 20-30 years was Tim Russert who was Chief of Staff for Moynahan and also had held a high ranking position as an advisor in Mario Cuomo's regime. He'd hold everybody's feet to the fire regardless of affiliation. We need more like him, regardless of their background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
