I strongly agree with this point.

Simple example - Look at the amount of media coverage given to President Clinton having an affair back in the 90's....

Do you really think that no other presidents cheated on their wives? JFK has been rumored to have had an affair with a certain Ms. Monroe for years, but that was never the subject of intense media scrutiny in its time as Clinton's afffair was.

What has happened is largely that more and more 'sensational' (IMO 'disgusting') news is highlighted now-a-days....

Things may indeed be worse in some respects, but not necessarily as bad as you think and definitely not for all people...

Try being an african american or other minority back in those 'golden' days of decency and morality that you so love, and then tell me if you still think times were better then....
