Ceasefire as Constitutional Loophole: A Love Story

What's old is how MAGA translates everything into whataboutism. "Biden did it too” isn’t a constitutional argument; it’s just the toddler version of legal analysis, where hypocrisy is supposed to count as authority. Originally Posted by fd-guy

The enemy is the media and the judges.

I remember 41 years ago and it wasn't so....

Reagan's FCC scrapped the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, ending a 38-year-old rule that required broadcasters to present more than one side of controversial issues. Democrats passed a bill to restore it. Reagan vetoed it. Then, almost immediately, Rush Limbaugh was pushed into national syndication — free to stations, specifically to help one-sided political broadcasting spread faster.

So no, this partisan media ecosystem did not descend from the heavens by accident. It was built on purpose, right after the rule requiring balance was deliberately torn out.

If you're trying to locate the source of four decades of media distortion, congratulations — you've found the right general neighborhood.

You're just standing backwards.
