The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.” |
The leftist neocon press doesn't give a shit Giant about ethics! Case in point, what we witnessed with the mass protests after Trump was elected. Many conservatives were not happy with President Obama, but didn't go around rioting after he was elected twice. The press seemed to get off on this. Another example of the press being rather dubious at best with the truth is with Ukraine and reporting Russian military formations were in E Ukraine without any proof. Nice way to gin up support for a future war based on lies huh? Oh yeah, W already did that using his lackey Colin Powell at the UN. Fox News sure had a great run with that. Now the lies about Iran. Why do you think Trump gets away with this fake news stuff? Because a majority of Americans don't trust them. And why should they, the bias no matter where you go is rather heavy. Fox is the GOP news channel, while the rest our liberal. That is why Fox is #1. Still biased though.
