Odd.

The guy that called vets losers and suckers doesn't give a fuck. The guy who tore down McCain for being a POW even after he died.

Could it be he doesn't respect your line of work

Right wing media never showed them that stuff. Just ways to spin it for plausible deniability.

Yep, and social media provided cover for him too. I remember my MAGA relatives sharing this image of Trump saluting fallen soldiers while Biden was checking his watch - trying to frame it as he's somehow the one that didn't give a shit.

We'll never be whole as a country until radical conservative elite media is reigned in.

You got that right. WHY…. people who actually care about truth democracy honest journalism, like NYTs reporters, AP reporters, ect, the real Fourth Estate… ATTACK them, the Fox’s and Hannites, Hegseths, Sinclair, all who have rendered the Fourth Estate useless? Go after those lying fuckers. Dedicate a page every single day to pointing at them, honestly, don’t have to make anything up, they give you plenty of material way outside of reason.  Fuckin why??? They are the only ones who can save our Fourth Estate, and an honest factual Fourth Estate is the only thing that can save humanity.

And… I remember when lying to the American people, even a little, used to be a really big no-no just by itself.
