"There are many more instances like Tapper’s. These are the crimes of co-conspirators, not true journalists."
"Which is worse: Bidengate or Watergate? Because the most engaged citizens do not yet understand the full extent of the media’s corruption in the Biden scandal, or, for that matter, in Watergate, the vast majority would select Watergate. But a thorough examination of each might change thoughtful minds.
"The national media in Watergate, mainly the Washington Post, distorted the insights of its source, Deep Throat, inflating the bumblings of the unattractive Nixon White House team into the world’s most impactful political scandal. In Watergate, the main harm to the country was media-driven, a “national nightmare,” perhaps weakening the resolve of a Democrat Congress to aid a stranded South Vietnam, but otherwise not directly and materially harmful to the nation.
"Bidengate, on the other hand, saw a criminal-rich and financially straining border invasion; American surrender of $80 billion in advanced military equipment in Afghanistan, along with the world’s most strategically valuable military location, the Bagram Air Base; rampant inflation; an engraved invitation to Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine; a gratuitous strengthening of theretofore struggling Iran, thus financing barbarity throughout the Mideast; and much more. All of this was arguably the result of a demented president.
"Putting aside comparative harm, isn’t it obvious that Watergate showed an endemically immoral White House, exposed, fortunately, by an energetic, incorruptible media? On the other hand, isn’t Bidengate simply the story of an aging president? How could Bidengate be considered more politically immoral than Watergate, and thus more harmful to our democracy?
'To answer, we should first compare the cover-up involved in each." . . .
