In reply to the discussion: Why has Jeb Bush's college graduation year been omitted by the media for at least 30 years now? [View all]Cal Carpenter
(4,959 posts)Why would the media tout other candidates as such (to use your words) if it wasn't true? No other candidate claims to have graduated early so why would the media 'tout' them as such? I don't understand your argument at all, and now you've changed your allegation from the OP to something else (which, frankly, makes even less sense) without addressing the point I made at all.
I was addressing your insistence that the media is omitting information about Jeb and the year he graduated. What I found, rather quickly, is that very few news articles about any of the candidates mention their graduation year. All those links you provide in your OP prove nothing - they are typical of a brief, in-article bio of a candidate. Maybe a mention of the alma mater or the subject they studied, but nothing more.
You are very, very focused on this one thing that isn't even really an anomaly. I don't understand that. I don't want to understand that. There are way more important things to worry about, imo, and way more important and relevant examples of the Bush family's power and influence over the media and other industries than this. His 1974 graduation with a BA in Latin American Studies from University of Texas is as verifiable on the internet as any other person's degree. It happens - plenty of people take less than 4 years to finish, others take more. If Jeb finished college early, great. If not, it doesn't really fucking matter in the grand scheme of things. You're treating this like some smoking gun that's gonna bring down the Bush family. I find it very odd but, as I said in my earlier post, I was just procrastinating. I'm not spending any more time on this, so please carry on without me.
