  2. Look lets leave the semantics aside. I actually don't understand much of that.

    Lets take the first line. Can you explain about Roosevelt?

    At some point he was consigned to a wheel chair and could not stand without serious effort and special crutches...for the rest of his life. The media was asked and complied, or volunteered to play this down and make it look like he stands on his own, in good health.

    So a lot of people did not know it at the time, and despite many newsreels still might not know it today.

  7. He'd had polio, common enough childhood affliction at the time and this was well known*. I really don't think they hid this however in the context of the war they would have avoided special mention of it. The bit that was probably kept very quiet was his final fatal hemorrhage which I guess took a short while to finish him. I've not looked that up.

    "Roosevelt fell cripple because the media supported him" why because the media supported?

    Edited: Just saw FF's post. Still, don't grasp the media causing him to fall cripple.. Maybe I'm not drinking enough coffee today.

    Not enough coffee. Read what I said again: "Many people did not know...because the media supported him".

    I was surprised by how long I myself did not know.

    And now they think polio may have been a misdiagnosis, not that it would have helped him much at the time.
