“Good Lord these Media types were total silence during the Clintoon escapades.”
The editor of the Washington Post in the 1960’s, Ben Bradlee, was a very close friend of JFK and Jackie. He was very aware of Kennedy’s numerous dalliances as a US Senator and President. He and his newspaper covered for Jack Kennedy as well as his brothers Bobby and Ted. In fact it was widely known in Washington Ted Kennedy and fellow US Senator Chris Dodd were in involved in creating a “sandwich” with a waitress in a Washington restaurant.
Going further back in time the entire mainstream media covered for another Democrat President Franklin D Roosevelt. They would not publish photographs of Roosevelt in a wheelchair. Many members of the press were aware of his longstanding affair with Lucy Mercer but kept the information under wraps from the people.
Lyndon Baines Johnson was another 20th century president known for affairs and bad behavior toward women. All known to the press and covered up.
The real question, which the press will not answer, is why certain progressives (Weinstein, Weiner, Franken, Conyers, etc) are being outed today yet others are not? What did they do to loses the protection of the media hypocrites?
