Reply #8: Back in the old days, the media protected the president [View All]

Remember how they made it so that it looks like FDR wasn't in a wheelchair?

The media also did not used to put any emphesis in civilian casulties during war. In World War 2, we carbet bombed Nazi cities. The only dead reported was how many Nazis we knocked off. When we dropped the nuke on Hiroshima, one newspaper the next day read, "VICTORY!!"

So no, I don't see any difference really with the media of decades ago and the media today.

It's funny too because the right wing swears up and down that the media is obviously tilted and bias towards the left. Meanwhile the left claims it is tilted and biased to the right. So by many people's standards, that is exactly where the media wants to be...hated by both sides.
