5. Watched a documentary about FDR

Recently, before our poisoned media was a thing and the 24 hour news cycle didn’t exist, when reporters simply reported the news and events of the day without having to worry about what slant was being applied to the story and the only BS was from tabloid rags…..

The documentary mentioned that the press didn’t focus on the wheelchair when FDR was speaking. Everyone knew he had had polio and couldn’t walk in assisted. There was no reason to glorify him in the chair.

But this clownish fuck, where everything about him is a made up bullshit lie.. we should focus on his inability to function normally. Specifically because they LIE about EVERYTHING!!!!!
