Liberal Media Discusses “Why Was There The Civil War?”

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


Ladies and gentlemen, your liberal media at work:

Can you spot the smarmy white guy saying that liberals just like playing the race card over the Civil War? Can you spot the actual historian with the furrowed brow? Can you spot the black guy who’s so disgusted he can’t even? And of course, the chipper CNN host who thanks everyone for a fascinating debate at the end.

I’m going to lunch now. I can’t promise that I’ll be back.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
