During the 1992 election season, the media convinced a large swath of the American electorate that the US was suffering through the worst economy in 50 years. Who can ever forget the "Money Crunch" segment CBS News ran regularly leading up to the election.

But let's not forget about the role of Iran-Contra Special Counsel Lawrence Walsh. On the Friday before the election, he issued a bogus indictment of Cap Weinberger. The news media played that to the hilt, sinking any chance for GHWB to win re-election.

The bogus indictment was later tossed out of court (because it WAS bogus), but that happened well after Bill Clinton won. Too late to do any good. Of course, Walsh didn't care, he accomplished his mission.

Please do not forget this.

Bush wins in 92 by 5-10 points if not for Ross Perot. He didn’t help by agreeing with the media and Clinton that we were in a Recession.

Perot might have been a good man, but he totally screwed us in 1992.
