I still remember the days of William Safire, who was allowed to demean the Clintons and spread lies about them with impunity. When his lies were debunked, he was never forced to apologize to readers.

I wish the CJR would do a review of front-page stories or opinions about Biden’s age versus Trump’s age/mental instability. I think the results would be similarly skewed in favor of Republicans.
