Good post. You have a lot to say that I would be interested in hearing. I’m starting doctoral study next semester at a very liberal Midwestern university. I was just telling someone the other day that I believe the rise of conservative media has caused the untended consequence of pushing mainstream media all the way to the left. Before they reported bad things about their heroes, then made excuses. Now they don’t even report it. If Clinton was president now, only conservatives would know who Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky were.
Sadly, 100% accurate. Just ask liberal but honest former CBS correspondent Sharyl Attkisson. My lefty friends never heard of her either. There was a time when every journalist alive would have thought that the circumstances of her departure were big news. Even if they disagreed with her completely. Today, its quite clear that they would rather turn a blind eye to her professional integrity than risk criticism of the current administration.
Even four years ago, I figured this was all a house of cards. Now, apart from the fact that Clintons do still have a lot of enemies on the left side of the aisle, I'm not so sure.
