Trump has accentuated this tendency in cases like GHWB and McCain, because the narrative becomes how un-Trump they are. But, yes, it's long been a pretty pronounced tendency for highly prominent politicians in general.

in order to ignore the horrors that america constantly inflicts on the world, you have to whitewash the ghoulish behavior of the leaders.

I think you're correct - but I also think it's like going to a funeral. At a funeral you don't start talking about all the horrible things the person has done, you only mention the good. Maybe it's wrong , but I think I'm ok with it.... The bashing can come later.

Whatever else we can say about DT (I didn't vote for him), he's brought the "Fake News" trope into the dialogue & it's not the punchline the useful idiots are trying to make it. Just look at the canonization of Bush. The MSM gives 'fake' a bad name. They have no shame.

Can you name a time where mass media outlets aren't "cliche-spouting groupthink factories"? I mean we have had
#Russiagate for 2 years, Iraq WMDs before that, there's a tonne of examples. -
MSM is a Weapon of Mass Distraction

I agree, but you are a broken record. Kindly move on to the next outrage. There’s never any shortage.

Both of these cretins have me blocked, but it's not even "manners" -- it's simple truth. Greenwald and Tracey can't get their minds around the fact that most people are complicated. Bush did some truly horrendous stuff. He was also a real statesman who cared about public service.

We have traditions that long have required a respect for our dead. Trump broke the rules for civilized behavior with John McCain's death. We needn't do this as well. There is time after the mourning period for a critical examination of a public figure's work and actions.

You'd be surprised apparently at how many people are put off at the idea of trashing someone who just died. Absent some pressing issue or some egregiously bad acts, I believe most people think, "Can't you just be a human being and give it a rest for a few days until he's buried?"

Some people apparently have the notion that if they don't start trashing a deceased former President right now this very moment, right after he has passed, the opportunity will never exist for them to be able to do so.

Isn’t this basically true as far as many issues of the day are concerned? It’s a little more obvious in regard to the deaths of persons who can be used to advance the prevailing group-think agenda. But the media has completely sold out so that it no longer even pretends.

It is a long standing tradition not to speak ill of the (recently) dead. Funerals are not the place to tear down any person, let alone one who served their country. It is a time to honour their contribution. We have plenty of time to judge the dead. Get over yourself.
