Continuing along the Hersh line…
One of Kirn’s commenters gave this tiresome trite false comparison, which totally hides the REAL comparison.
In the Age of Trump, who has been relying on the Establishment Press for anything but hostility? Use Carl Bernstein as an example. So right during Watergate and so wrong since 2016.
Woodward and Bernstein were right about Nixon, but this has NOTHING TO DO WITH OBJECTIVITY. They were right about Nixon AND they completely ignored the EXACT SAME CRIMES when LBJ committed them.
Today’s “journalists” were right about Trump, AND completely ignored the EXACT SAME CRIMES when the Clintons committed them.
Newspapers were pure DNC agents then and now. Newspapers were never objective. Newspapers were formerly more honest about their brand loyalty. That’s the only difference.
