If your point is only that Nixon is tarred too much, I tend to agree.

That was my point. This thread is about the power of the IPS. I have checked two library systems near my home and only one copy of the book that exposed the IPS as an instigator of many of the curbs on administration power is listed. I bet, if I go to the library, I will be told that it is "still on the catalog, but, tant pis, it is lost."

The poster was quick to include that Nixon was corrupt, but not Johnson, JFK, Carter, etc. The next event that "everyone" "knows" is Iran-Contra. But I bet few know that Reagan was instrumental in stopping Communism taking serious hold in the Caribbean and Central America.

My point is that "facts" are spun by leftmedia constantly, and we must be alert to not be swayed by one-sided "facts".

There is no such thing as a balanced presentation, by either side in an argument, and certainly not by the media. It takes hard work and critical thinking to get to the bottom of anything.
