When President Reagan died in 2004 the NYT praised his "collegiality and good manners" and used it to attack then president Bush.

When George H. W. Bush died the NYT praised him and used it to attack president Trump.

The NYT wrote, "it is difficult not to take note of the profound differences between the 41st president of the United States and the current occupant of the White House, Donald Trump," it wrote. "Beyond a desire to be president — Mr. Bush was more competitive and ambitious than his self-effacing personality sometimes suggested — there is almost nothing in common: the one gracious and modest, the other rude and vain; the one prudent, the other brash; the one steady, the other unmoored."

Was the NYT one of the newspaper that had good things to say about Hitler?

Maybe we should appreciate the fact that the lamestreamers were not in charge of Bush’s funeral and did not turn it into a huge political crapfest.
