- MrZongle2 8y agoYep. There are two sides to any story. We only get one anymore; which one depends upon the political affiliation of the media organization or author and how it relates to the subject. The other side of the story is immediately dismissed as either a smear job or puff piece by partisans.

Anyone who wasn’t completely tuned out during 2018, however, will question it because it got so much coverage during the campaign — I mean, the DUI was such a secret that he spent a fair amount of debate time talking about it.
