It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place. He looked so good on paper that you could almost vote for him sight unseen. He seemed so all-American, so much like Horatio Alger, that he was able to slip through the cracks of Objective Journalism. You had to get Subjective to see Nixon clearly, and the shock of recognition was often painful.</i><br /><br />We must never forget.Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-43439508736763828532022-09-21T16:20:12.011-05:002022-09-21T16:20:12.011-05:00Just the fact that the MSM talking heads have to q...Just the fact that the MSM talking heads have to qualify "This isn't some 'both sides do it' thing," right before they drop some 'both sides do it' bullshit, means at least they know the false equivalence is falling out of favor.<br /><br />I sincerely hope history accurately remembers the span of the mid-1960s through late 2020s (and quite probably beyond) as the era in which US journalism so tragically and comprehensively failed its duty and obligation that it offered up the populace it was Constitutionally enshrined to accurately inform as a fatted sacrifice to the nihilists, fascists and pseudo-religious zealots.<br /><br />Start with David Broder, or go farther back. End with the Chuck Todds and other enablers. Call out the Brookses, the Stephenses, all the paid professional liars who used opinion columns as area-denial weapons of moral and political cowardice and abject falsehood.
