Media Matters: Conservative media peddle a raw deal

by Jamison Foser

The conservative punditocracy that has spent the past eight years propping up a president who gave us an illegitimate war and leaves us with an almost unimaginably bad economic crisis apparently grows weary of defending this spectacular failure of a president. And so they have begun to shift their efforts to an easier task: trying to turn Americans against the president who ended the Great Depression, initiated the minimum wage, created Social Security, and helped defeat the Nazis.

Yes, they're trying to bring Franklin Roosevelt down to George W. Bush's level. Good luck with that.
