HUMILIATED Bill Clinton has ordered Hillary to ditch the beautiful campaign aide who dragged her into a lesbian love scandal, sources say. In this shocking world exclusive, political insiders tell GLOBE a berserk Bill told his wife she must choose between him or Huma Abedin, the sultry brunette whose presence at her side - day and night - sparked an explosion of gay rumors.

Having a great exclusive story is often not enough to get it published. You still must get the story past the editors. Editors can be very reluctant to publish or air something really hot for fear of being wrong, or even if the story is right, fear of retaliation from the story subject.
Classic case in point: Michael Isakof at Time Magazine had the Clinton/Lewinski story cold, all the details, triple confirmed, but the editors spiked it on a Friday. The Washington Post was also sniffing around the story and had some details but not all of them. By Saturday, it was all over a then little-known website called the Drudge Report, but few people read Drudge back then. Jackie Judd at ABC also developed the story over the weekend, but producers and suits at ABC were afraid of running it.
So “someone” used Reporter Trick #7 to get the bosses to go with the story. A certain reporter called a friend at a small newspaper and gave them about 30% of the details. This is how the “system” works; you give the story to the small newspaper reporter. My favorite was an old friend at the Daily Oklahoman (“The Oak”.) They then ran with it and the story would move on the AP or UPI wire. You, the original reporter can then run into the producers’ / editors’ offices with the wire service copy, screaming, “Look, the Oak has my story! If we don’t get this on the air NOW, everyone will have it and we will look like idiots because we had the story and did nothing!!!!”
The editors / producers know what you are doing, but they play the game too. They “reluctantly” agree to run the story. Of course they tell you “it’s your ass” if the story is wrong. (Editors, producers and suits always blame reporters if a story is wrong, but are first in line when the Emmys or Pulitzers are handed out.)
In the Lewinski case, ABC finally agreed to let Jackie Judd go with the Monica story at 11:45 Monday night. They broke into “Nightline”… and the rest is history.
This may be what is happening here. Everyone in DC knows about Hillary and the girl de jour. They have alluded to it a number of times on the air, but no one has had the culjones to air the story in full. “Vogue” came very close to running it, but did not.
This may have been fed to the Globe to be the “story that breaks the story.”
We shall see, nes pa?
We could alert Drudge, but then he might remove the current headline:
HILLARY: WHITE PEOPLE SUPPORT ME...
Hillary may have bad taste when it comes to men but her choice in women is not bad at all. :) :) :)
Or it may have been fed to the tabloid to discredit the story.
If Bill is upset about anything, it’s because Hillary isn’t willing to share
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!.. I KNEW IT!
This 'woman' is not normal!
Definetly a 'white trash' couple!... ROFL :)
This globe story is trash.
Wow—a HUMongous HUMan interest story about HUMiliated former President Bill Clinton (who used Monica’s Lewinsky’s privates as his personal HUMidor after she HUMmed his favorite tune) about his wife’s lesbian affair with HUMa.
Man oh man, runs in the family, huh>
Hillary has been laying carpet since green shag was in style.
Since when is the GLOBE a member of the MSM?
I call bullsh*t. Bill would love nothing more than to be as far away as possible from Hillary. He's hanging in there to pay off his debt to Hillary for all the crap she had to endure on his behalf. Not that I feel an ounce of pity for either one of course, but it's obvious they only put up with each other for political gain.
“Inside MSM” term is “Check the Tabs!”
:~)
If she dumped BJ over this right now , she would be the next POTUS .
Nah, I discount it because I know that Hillary would never be unfaithful to Bat Boy.
Since their accuracy rate is virtually identical?
said the Bubba to his Babe!
