Wonder why they want to be on the WRONG side of history??
Because it is easier to be on the wrong side and have people forget (again, and again, and again) then to have to admit they were wrong in the first place.
That is the only consistent thing that comes from the press. The belief that nobody else ever admits to their mistakes...and that they themselves never actually make any mistakes.
I really, really dislike the press. Not the concept of the press mind you, but the way it has been done for the last 40 years or so.
