Why Does The Media Never Report How Bad The Last Republican President Was?

[scottie55]

I mean really. We are having a "primary" and it is 24/7 Trump, Cruz etc. babbling their conservative psycho garbage. It's like the media wants to completely ignore what happened the last time a Republican was in the White House. It makes me sick.

Republicans suck by every single measure.

Period.

If the media did their jobs we wouldn't have Republicans.

1. Corpmedia is 95% pro-fascist agenda, just like GOP.

2. Because he was good.

For them. He gave them a war, another war, a depression, and a whole bunch of nonsense statements. He gave them things to talk about.

4. Bush kept the nation in a constant state of fear. Fear makes people watch the media.

People watching the media makes their ratings go up. Ratings go up thus advertising rates go up. Advertising rates going up make the people on the top floor very happy.

3. Has anyone noticed that NO ONE has brought up the fact that Gore won the popular vote in 2000?

I hear lots of talk about how the Repubs and the Dems aren't being fair in the primary process.

But NO ONE that I know of has mentioned how unfair the 2000 election was

Back then, my daughter told me she knew Repubs who planned to insist that W be President if W won the popular vote and lost the electoral vote.

5. or Oligarchy, Super PACs, no Climate Change response, corporate control over our government,

the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, Fracking, NSA spying on us, police abuse, private prisons...

Our Third Estate has been owned by the Plutocrats for a long, long time!

6. Because it's in the vested interest of those who

control the media that Republicans win elections. And low information voters (which is everyone who gets their "news" from tv) buy into the propaganda they are force fed 24/7. Republicans always good. Democrats generally bad. They don't seem to mind Hillary, though, because they know she's no threat to their bottom line. But Bernie? Really, really bad and thus pretty much ignored and now, dismissed.

As for Bush, an alien who landed on earth and watched corporate news during his tenure would have thought he walked on water. They protected him no matter what criminal activity he and his henchmen were involved in. The cheerleading for the Iraq War was particularly egregious. Phil Donahue's opposition cost him his job. Dan Rather was toast for his trying to report the truth about his having gone AWOL from the Texas Guard. If we had an honest media (and of course a non corrupt Supreme Court ) with any integrity at all, the dumbass little twit would never have made it to the WH in the first place.
