Does the press really vet presidential candidates?
I don’t think the Dems were “duped.” It was probably well known all along that this guy was an adulterer, fornicator and who knows what else. It’s ok to bash a Republican who is caught doing some misdeed. But for their own, the Dems turn a blind eye. Or they make excuses for them. A FReeper said on another thread that we don’t have investigative journalism anymore, and that is so true. Part of it is due to budget cuts, but another part of it is that the mainstream media is so in bed with the liberal socialists, that it too will turn a blind eye to the sins of Democrats. Only when it becomes patently obvious that some misdeed is going down do they finally come out and do the tsk-tsk. Really, media doesn’t particularly care about the American public or about the future and well being of America in general. They pander to the socialists; that’s it.
