This was especially true for Ronald Reagan. “While he was president, Reagan’s religious faith was, at best, dismissed or ridiculed.” Paul Kengor states. The criticisms were wrong; Reagan’s belief in God “was a key source of his optimism and boldness, his daring and self-security, and his confidence; these essential intangibles carried him throughout his presidency — and career as a whole — and enabled him to achieve what he did.”

The news has become notorious for being untrustworthy according to all sides of the political spectrum, with each point of view criticizing different networks for different reasons. This has led to an industry of satire calling out the news’ handling of stories, which includes popular programs like South Park and The Daily Show.
