    How can you consider one interview 'then' and compare that to how people feel 'now'? Dan Rather was being a horses ass.

    You need more evidence? It's common knowledge the media hates anything conservative and the Bush's all of this recent love affair is phoney. I agree with the Wash Times.

    It's not hard to honor a man who spent his adult life serving his country as compared to a man who serves himself.

    There are countless examples right now of current CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS "news staff" dogging Trump by using Bush. It's disgusting and does not honor HW Bush.

    The MSM did exactly the same thing when LBJ died.

    The media trashed LBJ until the day he died then they loved him after he died.

    I noticed President Trump saluted G.H. Bush in his coffin yesterday.

    The first American President in history to render a salute to a former President.

    The last President we had that served our country was his son, George W. Bush. Since then, we've had civilians who haven't served anything run the nation.

    I agree with you that a President should 100% be prior service. However it is not a requirement.

    I remember when the demised Bush was President, "mainstream" media certainly had no love or respect for him then, how the media reports on everything just depends on their interpretation of Trump's position on the topic; they'll oppose anything Trump favors and support everything he opposes.

    MSM attacks on HW Bush were the norm and they persisted after he left office until right now.

    Why else would he have needed an OBESE SERIAL RAPIST (like Roger Ailes) to have his back?

    Of course Bush 41 is getting praised in death.

    Compared to a CLUELESS IMBECILE (like Trump) H.W. is Abraham Lincoln.:flagus:

    Trumps doing okay by the military so far. He has resisted the pressure to send armies into another major No Win War.
    Peace through strength is the last best hope.

    Correct. They recently #MeTooed H.W. Bush just before his wife died.
    What was he 93 at the time? Talk about political hate...

    No I didn't say it should a requirement, I was just stating it's easier to honor a man who has served as compared to one one who hid.

    Of course, but Trump does not pretend to be unbiased while the MSM denies its obvious bias.
    Another reason why it has lost its credibility.

    I agree with that. Presidents who have not served have a lot to prove to veterans and their families.

    Trump pretends he is unbiased when it comes to anyone who isn't white and you think he has credibility.

    This is true but doesn't change the fact that trump is indeed a drooling imbecile.

    I am sure all of them. Even RINOs are trashed by the MSM when they are running against a Democrat.
    Dole, Romney and McCain had to learn that the hard way. Assuming that they are capable of learning that their MSM "pals" don't really like them.

    And I'm sure HW was turning in his coffin. Bush was a true patriot and American hero. trump used his station to get out of service. trump is a disgrace to every man who ever donned the uniform.
