I Will Never Stop Pointing This Out - Another Comment Thread Post

 The election that brought Nixon to office was the first presidential election after the Supreme Court gave the mass media a carte blanche to lie with impunity under the Sullivan Decision, the decision that the court in 1976 built on in the Buckley v. Valeo decision to overturn the legislation to outlaw many of the corruptions that Nixon practiced in the 1972 election..  The decisions built on in Citizens United that furthered and explicitly legalized the billionaire, FOREIGN and domestic of American elections that brought us Trump.   It all started with the Sullivan Decision made on behalf of the New York Times who sandbagged Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, the most successful Democratic President in terms of actual legislation since Lyndon Johnson, the one that was done in by the media in the immediate aftermath of the Sullivan Decision.   I remember that election and it was the first one I was aware of when virtually all of the media was obviously pulling for Richard Nixon, the criminal.
