Washington Post supported every war including Vietnam


The most amusing thing about this movie is its release just shortly before Trump ends the wars against Syria and Afghanistan, and the Washington Post is in meltdown. They hate Trump, because they love war.

No one shilled harder for the WMDs in Iraq lie (besides the New York Times who came up with it). No one shilled harder for LBJ against Goldwater. Vietnam only became an issue when Nixon was running it, and only because he was running it "poorly". Nixon eventually ended the war, and was forced to resign.

Washington Post has always had plausible deniability to some extent. They promote candidates like Obama who say they'll end wars when everybody knows they're planning to start even more. Not this time. Trump cuts the grass and lets the snakes show.
