The internet. A double edge sword of information.

Had it been around, how many lies would it exposed about the LBJ and Reagan administrations?

The Internet was around in the 1960's as Arpanet and in the 1980's as Usenet.

Well, we'd have known about JFK & RFK sharing Marilyn Monroe as well as prostitutes and drugs. FDR would never have gotten elected due to his disability.

They were willing to let things slide based upon their feelings about a politician or topic and they've only gotten worse today. D by the name, you generally get a pass. R by the name, they'll report any dirt they can find.

What difference could it possibly make? We know about Obama`s lies and the deadly lies of his predecessor but it`s still business as usual in the U.S.
