It has always been that way, T, but Murdoch added a vat of vitriol, multiplied it by 10, added a soupcon of LSD, deludamol and extremism and put it out there for a gullible population's general consumption.
Facts? Who needs facts............just lie through your teeth and play on everyone's darkest rooted fears.
Job done!!!
the spanish american war over cuba was driven by press when a us ship exploded off its coast
the press claimed it was spanish who did it with no evidence
Spanish claim it was faked by us
it would been suicide to start that war and thousands were killed
Funnily enough despite claiming to be there to free the cubans from evil spain the us pretty much colonised the place and turned it into vegas part 1 with the cubans slave level and a puppet regime acquiesing to us mafiosa types
but it was the yellow press war mongers who pushed the war drive for the pro slavery democrat party
couldnt make it up
Apparently the democrat president during ww2 was a kkk member who quit coz he didnt like their policy on catholics being unamerican
truman what a guy
beware the democrats
and their war drivers
Andrew jackson the creator of the democrat party had thousands of slaves, his mother and father were ulster loyalists and he fully concurred with the pre civil war decision us supreme court decision on dredd scott decision that blacks are not human therefore not citizens and not able to vote or be free
now im all for freedom of humans
But its ironic that it was the dreaded republicans who fought to free slaves and the democrats fought to keep their right to enslave blacks on their plantations
funny old world
clinton apparently is related to the confederate president
all just a bit weird for me
