    1. Part of the cost of this era is all the big scandals that would be huge news in another time which fall by the wayside. The Afghan Papers are good example. They are a revelation about America's longest war -- and barely made a ripple.

        2. The longest war in America history has been sold to public on lies since pretty much its earliest days. Yet few care. my thoughts on this: https://www.thenation.com/article/afghanistan-papers-lies-war/ …

        Thank you for mentioning those. It’s sad that they haven’t gotten the attention they deserve. Look at the reaction to those versus the reaction to the Pentagon Papers.

        Why do you think that is? Because of Trump’s daily antics that dominate the news cycle? Or is it something about this period itself?

        The simplest explanation is that people love war.

        Equally simple - everyone has known it was a clusterfuck for years and this gets filed along with "water is wet"

        It's pretty much an act of supreme selfishness by Donald Trump. Such is his need to get HIMSELF attention & make HIMSELF look good, he inverted to bully pulpit so instead of focusing the US & World's attention on important things he focused it on things that make him look good!😑

        Part of WaPo's problem is that they admit in their article they're taking a shot at Trump and the MSM is so distrusted anymore, no one would believe them if they said the sun rose in the east.
