Once the scales fall from your eyes and you realize that the press has *always* been a wing of the Democratic Party, it really makes for some fascinating “what ifs” when you reverse the polarity of the parties. A Dem Watergate would have been an afterthought instead of a buzzword. “Ask not what your country ...” would have been portrayed as the worst jingoism. Nixon would be the president associated with the moon landing that occurred during his watch instead of Kennedy. Chappaquiddick would be the biggest political scandal of the 20th century. Etc etc. It’s gotten much worse in our time. But the poisonous spin has always been in effect.
