Fake Praise for GHWB: Where Were Media When He Needed Them?

As with the passing of former President Ronald Reagan, the media are in full praise mode following the death of former President George Herbert Walker Bush.

As for Bush 41, the media's praise of Bush's "Grace" and "Class" serves to indirectly to attack President Donald Trump by showing the contrast between the two Republicans' styles and characters.

What did much of the liberal media think and say about Bush at the time?

" The year before, Republican pundit George Will called him a "Lapdog." A Washington Post editorial now praises Bush.

A National Grocers Association systems analyst, the man who showed Bush the scanner, said: "The whole thing is ludicrous. What he was amazed about was the ability of the scanner to take that torn label and reassemble it."

Bush stood accused of racism for "Using" the infamous Willie Horton ad that ran during the 1988 campaign, even though his campaign had not produced the ad. Furthermore, the issue of his opponent Michael Dukakis' Massachusetts furlough program was first brought up by Dukakis' Democratic rival Al Gore.

As recently as 2012, a PBS documentary repeatedly insisted Bill Clinton inherited an economy in "Recession." In fact, the GDP in Bush's final quarter grew 3.8 percent.
