[Peace] [Peace-discuss] WaPo: how Pete B. went from war protester to war veteran

[Robert Naiman]

It's amazing what these people get away with thanks to TV "news." Kamala
Harris got all this fawning TV "news" coverage for her takedown of Biden on
federally-forced busing. She later admitted that she is also against
federally-forced busing, the exact same position as Biden. The TV media are
rewarding favored candidates for shallow posturing. The NYT and WaPo race
to catch up. Not that I love the NYT and WaPo; I hate them too. But
compared to the TV "news" they are I.F. Stone.
