As I recall, the MSM embraced Bill Clinton’s numerous lies. Not only did they not call him out for lying, they acted thrilled by his lies, delighted that he pulled another layer of wool over the citizens’ eyes.
And then when Bush was elected, they took things they did not like, regardless of evidence, and pronounced them as lies. I remember the trope “Bush lied, people died” being made popular when there was not a single verifiable lie to warrant such a trope.
The MSM’s behavior here is nothing new. I think it becomes more comprehensible if one considers that what the MSM brands a lie is actually anything that does not fit their agenda and narrative. If the truth does not advance the narrative, it is a lie. If a demonstrable lie advances the agenda, it is the truth. If they tell a lie about a conservative politician and the politician refuses to verify the lie, the politician becomes a liar. It is on this basis that they call Trump a liar.
You nailed it, exDemMom!!!!
True. We know the Washington Post and NYT are all lies owned by liars. Only OAN TV news is not lies now as has been since the punk sons took control. This nation is a disgrace now with Christianity thrown out and overpaid punks taking a knee when our nation’s war dead would have loved to only lose a damn knee.
This is why, at a certain level, I think that there will be no reconciling with those with that mindset, and whatever else is a logical extension of it. And I can't help but think that things are coming to a head.
