Jimmy Carter is, of course, right on this issue.
Perhaps the best thing Jimmy Carter demonstrates is the media's ability to demonize someone. He was a great president, fair enough, and had to try to deal with the Iranian crisis, which in truth sprung from a republican move, the CIA coup in Iran in 1953, and 1954, set into action by a republican administration. 1979, was just a taking back of their own country, from a despotic leader, a U.S. puppet-leader, that we had put in charge.
The opposite side of the coin has been to set Reagan up on an undeserved pedestal. They've been demonizing Carter, who had the prescience to push solar panels way, way back then, knowing we had the problem coming, and talk up Reagan, who took them down.
What f*cking liberal media? I don't see it. We've got from right-wing nutmeat media, to center right, on MSNBC.
