For my entire adult life, over a quarter century now, there is one absolute in political reporting.

Republicans can say and do wtf crazy ass thing they say and do and it is the democrats fault.

Going after Hillary is like pissing into the wind. She's too fucking smart for them.

their scorn and derision is greatest for those who they can't take down.

and had a change of heart when she saw the overt racism of Nixon. Then she went to work with the Watergate investigation.

There used to be attempts at sincere journalism over the last 50 years. The media used to be proud at their ability to use their constitutional rights to be fair in their reporting. Since, Reagan, however, they don't really try anymore. They are bought and paid for by the few trying to manipulate our country - and they are in our face about it, as if it's ok and we should just accept it.

during the 90s, it was more passive.

The big trick then and into the 2000s was to take the bullshit that republicans were putting forward and ask a democrat, "what do you have to say about those who say you beat puppies and hate america?"

Standard MO to get get democrats to defense complete bullshit.

Today, they just out and cheer lead.

Dan Rather. He is an investigative journalist. He's a damn GOOD one, too. So, he finds something unflattering to the Shrub, and he loses his job because he has the temerity to do what he's supposed to do, and REPORT on it.

I just ordered the film about that from Netflix, but I agree with you that Dan Rather was ramrodded. They should have just reported the document discrepancy and moved on, but they made it look like Rather was the perp instead of shrub and his evil VP.
