Over the past few decades, any Republicans who lived to hear something favorable about themselves from the legacy media would know they were near death. That’s because in order to hear your name uttered in a favorable light by the liberal media, you had to be dead.
It happened to all the conservative stalwarts; as soon as Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Antonin Scalia left the earth, the instant respect from publications that hammered them during their tenures commenced. The New York Times article on Richard Nixon’s death managed to scare up some words of praise, noting that his presidential tenure “wrought foreign policy accomplishments of historic proportions that had proved beyond the reach of his Democratic foes.”
