I'm stunned you would say that. Eg, from my reading, the lib media went overboard criticizing Lyndon Johnson, democrat president during the vietnam war. The lib media's near dead silence when it comes to criticizing obama, their endless shilling for him, and the way they acted like straight-forward cheerleaders for him when he was running for president, is something I've never seen. Also all the "historic" comments. Why was it? They absolutely love candidates from illinois? They're ecstatic about someone who got a minimal poly sci degree in college?
C'MONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I knew you would take exception to what I stated. But the whole "Obama is the first black President" sheen has worn off, even with many in the leftist news media. There are chinks in Obama's armor. Obviously, the media and the Obamanistas played the whole "black" thing to the hilt, back in 2008 and 2009, but the bottom line is that, regardless of skin color, Obama, his leftist beliefs, his Chicago-style machine politics ideals, and his Keynesian economic armageddon, have brought this country to the verge of complete economic collapse.
The whole "Obama is black, isn't that great" nonsense has worn off, except with the most RACIST of people in our society, like Jackson and Sharpton and the black congressional caucus and other race warlords.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY, PERIOD! People who are out of work, people who have lost their homes, people who are living hand-to-mouth........couldn't give a crap if Obama is black or white or purple or pink, and no amount of leftist media propaganda is going to change that.
As for you comparing the leftist media from 45 years ago to the leftist media of today, there is no comparison. All we had 45 years ago was the leftist media, and most of us didn't even know it. Three major TV networks, newspapers, and magazines. No cable news channels. No internet. No talk radio. All we had was the leftist slant on the news. Walter Cronkite singlehandedly turned popular opinion against the Vietnam War by stating that the U.S. could not win that war.
LBJ got criticized for the Vietnam War, and rightly so, but he got criticized for NOTHING ELSE.
