You're right but I was pointing towards a confluence of bullshit in the last 30 years or so. Hart shifted media focus in a destructive way that replaces issues with personal lives.

Gary Hart to Whitewater to Monica to secret Muslim, Acorn and Benghazi. I really can't remember a time when political journalism wasn't a joke but I'm only 32 so I don't know that it was ever good in America

And that's why I was specific: You see hand-wavey stuff that happened about the time you were born, while I can point to specifics.

Gary Hart was business as usual. Whitewater was the first time an attempt was made to smear a sitting president with the fact that they'd lost money as the victims of a crooked land deal 20 years previously that the perpetrator was already in jail for.

The video is set to private.

I think I found it on my own.
