Should we abolish the Royal family?

[Kirkland Laing]

Kirkland, you complain about the German and French media but yet you say nothing about the subservient US media

As for Mitterand, I don't know if the French people didn't know or they just didn't care. They do have a different culture, I remember them thinking America was crazy for what happened with Bill Clinton and his escapade with Monica Lewinsky. I distinctly remember the democrats and the acquiescent news media citing the French saying something to the extent of "So your President got a blowjob from someone other than his wife, what's the big deal? All of the French leaders have affairs and it's just kind of accepted"

They're just the same. They turned a blind eye to JFK shagging half of Hollywood, plenty huge stories they just ignored. Since US media became tiny parts of other corporations who do huge business with the government, something illegal in every other democracy, they're even less likely to go after a prez. The Monica Lewinsky thing only happened because of the newfangled internet, they had no way of preventing it getting out. If you remember no major media outlet touched the story until it was common knowledge.

That's all I wanted, thanks for not being difficult for once

....also the US media turned a blind eye on FDR and his woman being a raging lesbian, her mistress lived in the White House, and nothing was said, but then again nothing was ever said of FDR being crippled by Polio either. If anything had been written about it some think he would never have been elected just on account of that.

I've always wondered what a raging lesbian is? Was Eleanor Roosevelt really some violent, wild lesbian?
