I don’t think that I would agree with Thom’s statement that we have “three right-wing television networks.” I do think, however, that we have three (or more) television networks that are more interested in furor than in facts.

An Inapt Inept Comparison 0

Susan Young notes the inept comparison:

So, after FBI agents searched the Palm Beach, Florida, home of former President Donald Trump on Monday and reportedly removed boxes of documents, it was interesting that the former president chose to compare the situation to Watergate, perhaps the most egregious example – until Trump himself – of an American president’s misuse of power.

“What is the difference between this and Watergate, when operatives broke into the [Democratic] National Committee? Here, in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th President of the United States,” Trump said in a statement posted on social media Monday night.
