“If we go crabbing and complaining about things like this we are just opening outselves up to a repeat of the fairness doctrine, we don’t need that sh**.”
I don’t know, the media is now fully out of control, no longer even pretending, or even trying to pretend, to be objective. This is the worst I have ever seen it. I do think something needs to be done, I’m just not sure what.
Nothing new. I was a Reagan Democrat watching the press trashing the Republicans at every opportunity during the 1980 convention. I said to myself, “Well, next month, Carter gets his.” Then I watched the press ooh and ahh over every feminist and gay rights kook and Ron Dellums and pimp the Democrats even though Carter and Kennedy were gouging each other's eyes out.
I was 22, and never looked at the press the same way after that. They are craven, shameless, partisan buzzards.
