Liberal media, my ass!

Carter was also unpopular among many Americans because he was largely truthful, which meant he wasn’t constantly telling people what they WANTED to hear. So many people want to be told they’re going to Heaven, the USA is the greatest country on Earth (regardless of actions), etc.
