Major crimes were perpetrated in the Iran/Contra scandal, yet it barely scratched Saint Ronald Reagan -- or his VP GHW Bush who was definitely involved, and nevertheless became the next president.
After Bill Clinton we endured two terms of Dim Son Bush. Instead of holding him to account for ignoring warnings leading up to 9/11, his approval ratings soared after giving a speech from the rubble. Then he got us mired in costly, mishandled wars of occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq, the latter based on a deliberate campaign of lies. Inexplicably he got reelected when somehow John Kerry's heroic duty on Swiftboats in Vietnam were turned into a negative compared to GW's cushy stint in the Texas Air Natl Guard that he didn't even complete.
On the other hand, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was repeatedly raked over the coals when three embassy personnel were killed in a terrorist attack in Benghazi.
And Joe Biden was crucified for the deaths of 13 US servicemen during the evacuation of Kabul in fulfilling the lopsided withdrawal deal that Trump brokered with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
If the so-called "liberal" mainstream media had done their jobs calling a spade a spade and a lie a lie, neither GW Bush nor Trump would have gotten a 2nd term. Hell, Trump wouldn't have gotten a first term. In 2000, Bush was treated with kid gloves compared to Al Gore, who won the popular vote and probably the White House if the Supreme Court hadn't stopped the recount in Florida.
Now the fascist Trump administration is pulling out all the stops to steal the midterm elections this November. We can't count on the MSM to sound the alarm about the evisceration of our democracy.
