Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich

President Trump faces a news media which is about 93% hostile. With one or two exceptions no major paper will endorse him and outside FoxNews the media hostility is relentless and one sided. That was not the case in 1864. President Lincoln operated in a very different world. — PolitiTweet.org

In a way the reaction to that quote made President Trump’s point. People who know nothing of the election of 1864 just knew Trump had to be wrong—some even ridiculed him. Yet the irony is he is right. Consider the press in 2020 and 1864. — PolitiTweet.org

The major New York newspapers supported Lincoln for reelection in 1864. Lincoln appointed newsmen to diplomatic posts. He had three aides who were former journalists. Republican newspapers supported Lincoln in the fall of 1864. Democratic newspapers supported Mclellan. — PolitiTweet.org
