1. That's pretty much the job of the media: hide iniquity, give credit where it doesn't belong, inflate the Liberals narrative, and make sure Democrats look good, and Republicans look bad.

2. Just this week the media lied to claim Trump said the coronavirus was a hoax....he didn't.

3. This is not a new phenomenon.
The media made a communist their champion to deprive Reagan the achievements of defeating the Soviet Union...and today is their 'hero's' birthday.

4. Mikhail Gorbachev, in full Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, (born March 2, 1931, Privolye, Stavropol kray, Russia, U.S.S.R.), Soviet official, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) from 1985 to 1991 and president of the Soviet Union in 1990–91. His efforts to democratize his country’s political system and decentralize its economy led to the downfall of communism and the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. In part because he ended the Soviet Union’s postwar domination of eastern Europe, Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1990."

He deserved the Nobel Prize as much as Hussein did.



5. "Every American high school student knows, or should know, that President Ronald Reagan went to the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin on this date in 1987. The President said: “If you seek liberalization, open this gate…Mr. Gorbachev,tear down this wall.”

(Yes, kids, there was a West Berlin then.)

American journalists were enchanted by Mikhail Gorbachev in those days. The young and charismatic Kremlin boss was “the human face of Communism” that they’d been seeking. Leader of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union ), this dynamic man spoke of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (re-structuring). His words were all the rage then.

But when the Brandenburg Gate did finally open, in 1989, and when the Berlin Wall was re-structured, as in, torn down, the people in the Communist East German puppet state ran only one way. They ran as far and as fast from Gorbachev and his “workers’ paradise” as they could. When Gorby ran for president of Russia in an open election, he won just 12% of the vote."

Actually I think Gorbachev's ideas may have been better than the drunken fool's who took his place. I think Gorbachev saw the end coming and was trying to ease them out of communism/socialistic bullshit and into something more like we have. If they had left him alone we would likely not have a gangster like Putin running their show today. You can't simply turn entire societies on a dime and expect good results from the ensuing chaos.

You'd be much more believable if you linked to the Facebook Fact-Checkers instead of an extreme, right-wing site of questionable integrity. A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Trump initially downplayed the seriousness of the threat.

You Russians really need to move on and admit Gorby did no more or less than face the inevitable failure of the USSR.

The OP compared the media's and the Left's (that may be redundant) response to Gorbachev vis-a-vis the great Ronald Reagan...not with other communist leaders.

" I think Gorbachev saw the end coming"
Quite the contrary:

"SO ON WHOM or what do we bestow the title of the "evil empire's" killer? Was it Mikhail Gorbachev himself who pulled down what Lenin and Stalin had built up? It is tempting to finger Gorbachev, but this would ascribe too much wisdom and foresight to a man who wanted merely to reform, but not to relinquish, the empire. At no point, however, did Gorbachev want to yield Moscow's pride of place as the number two superpower.

And he was blissfully confident that the risks were tolerable: "There is no reason to fear the collapse or the end of socialism", Gorbachev assured Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu three weeks after the Berlin Wall had been breached and three weeks before the Romanian dictator was executed by his own people."

According to Marx, communism was inevitable....and the Soviets lived by this creed.
The battle of wills was played out between Gorbachev and Reagan in Reykjavik in 1986.


"At no point, however, did Gorbachev want to yield Moscow's pride of place as the number two superpower. And he was blissfully confident that the risks were tolerable: "There is no reason to fear the collapse or the end of socialism", Gorbachev assured Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu three weeks after the Berlin Wall had been breached and three weeks before the Romanian dictator was executed by his own people.

Reagan [a nuclear abolitionist at heart] was made from far sterner stuff than was his Soviet counterpart. His genial grin and wise-cracking demeanor concealed a spine of steel when push came to shove. Yet at their next meeting in Reykjavik in 1986, where Gorbachev would not budge on the "Star Wars" question, Reagan was decisive and unforgiving. He recalls in An American Life how he stood up from the table to proclaim that the meeting was over. Then he turned to his Secretary of State: "Let's go, George. We're leaving."

Like any good diplomat, Shultz was crushed by so much roughness, but Reagan was completely unfazed. Later on, he explained: "I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things, our freedom and our future."
FindArticles.com | CBSi




So ended the Reykjavik Summit....with no deal.
Returning home, Reagan, gave a speech:

" While we parted company with this American offer still on the table, we're closer than ever before to agreements that could lead to a safer world without nuclear weapons. I'm always aware that, as President, I'm not just making decisions for today's Americans, but tomorrow's Americans as well. I was not about to bargain away a safer world for you tomorrow.

It's my sincere hope that Mr. Gorbachev will review the great strides we made in Iceland and join with us in reducing nuclear weapons and in building technology that protects lives rather than destroying them. That's the only protection we have today."
Ronald Reagan: Remarks to Students From Southern Regional High School of Manahawkin, New Jersey, in Baltimore, Maryland




Compare those words and actions with the simpleton who insured that the world's most prominent state supporter of terrorism will......will....have nuclear weapons.
Only those who have failed George Santayana's test can continue to support Hussein Obama, a traitor to America and to Western Civilization.

As per the OP, Liberals everywhere, and particularly in the madrassas called universities, lick the boots of communists, Soviets, Bolsheviks to the detriment of real Americans.


Did you study Samuelson in economics?????

Check out how he kissed up to Gorbachev......


" I was so amazed by the Fortune quotations from [Paul] Samuleson text that I started looking through the book to see what else he had written about communism. It seemed to me utterly incredible that an otherwise great economist could parrot idiotic Marxist propaganda. At a time when it was apparent even to the most willfully blind Marxist in Central Europe and the USSR, when even Gorbachev was beginning to hint at the magnitude of the Soviet economic disaster, the 1985 Samuelson text offered these paragraphs:


<< "But it would be misleading to dwell on the shortcomings. Every economy has its contradictions and difficulties with incentives--witness the paradoxes raised by the separation of ownership and control in America...


<< "What counts is results, and there can be no doubt that the Soviet planning system has been a powerful engine for economic growth."


<< And again, writes Samuelson:


<< "The Soviet model has surely demonstrated that a command economy is capable of mobilizing resources for rapid growth and awesome military power."

Any care to argue that it is not communist indoctrination.



And....the guy who was actually correct...Ronald Reagan, is considered anathema.

 

[Sunsettommy]

....and don't come back.

That's no way to treat your biggest fan, after you of course.

You should get lost, since after your THREE chances to make a real counterpoint, which you dumped for fallacies, you make clear you have nothing to offer in the way of a debate.
