The media is finally tired of
all the lying – they’ve called for the President’s resignation! Did you see these editorials?
"He should resign
because he has resolutely failed — and continues to fail — the most fundamental
test of any president: to put his nation's interests first…[he lacks]
both…courage and…character…" - USA
Today
"[The President] should
resign. He should resign because his repeated, reckless deceits have dishonored
his presidency beyond repair." - Philadelphia
Inquirer
"[The President] should resign
and go home…" - Detroit
Free-Press
"A president more
concerned with the national interest than his own preservation would realize
that resignation is his only responsible option." - Atlanta Journal Constitution
What, you missed these? Really?
Well, you can’t be blamed.
They’re all 20 years old. All of these papers (and 111 more) were
calling for the resignation of BILL CLINTON.
To my knowledge, none of them have called for Trump’s resignation. But let’s be fair, there are several
differences:
- Clinton’s inauguration was not under investigation
- Clinton’s foundation was not under investigation
- Clinton was not under investigation for being a foreign agent
- Clinton was not under investigation by the FBI, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, nor the Attorney General for the State of New York
- Clinton’s lawyer was not in jail
- Clinton’s campaign manager was not in jail
- Clinton’s National Security Advisor was not in jail
- Clinton’s Foreign Policy Advisor was not in jail
And so on. And hey, I’m not the
only one who’s noticed the discrepancy here.
The Hartford Courant, in an editorial,
also recalled how they called for Clinton’s resignation. In the op-ed, they said, “How
quaint that notion seems now.” They go on, “Mr. Trump’s parade of outrages — from saying he could ‘stand
in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody’ and not ‘lose any voters’ to siding with Russian
President Vladimir Putin over eight U.S. national security agencies on Russia’s
interference in American elections — may have numbed the nation.”
I’m surprised they feel this way. But I am not surprised at this – they have
yet to call for Trump’s resignation. No
newspaper has. The Philly
Inquirer (quoted above) is
another paper reviewing their call for Clinton’s resignation. They say, “Exactly
20 years later, America is struggling to come to terms with a president whose
tsunami of lies about matters both large and small have made Clinton’s Lewinsky
lies look like a lonely mud puddle.” And they
lament the fact that no paper has called for Trump’s resignation.
But neither have they.
Why is that? I’d love to hear
your theories about this. What’s
different about the “liberal media” now?
