Hi there {vxbush} - you are absolutely correct - the media of the time HATED Lincoln.
Seems like today’s MSM loves anyone with a (D) after their name, but still hates anyone with an (R) after their name.

Which is why I really despise the role that the media plays in our country. They have a terrible track record of giving credit to the really great people of our society.

In a somewhat related vein, think of the media fawning over Princess Diana’s death as compared to the rather minimal coverage that Mother Theresa got. Mother Theresa can be rather polarizing to some people, I realize, but in many ways she deserved more accolades than Dianna.
