Bump!
And to think this guy's with Fox News! He's supposedly on the least liberal-infested network! Is this how "mainstream" media networks operate-- they don't say anything about the Elephant in the Living Room until the elephant asks them to pass the butter?
They didn't have that policy back in '92 when many of the "mainstream" press took every opportunity to embarrass President Bush at every turn, including at White House news conferences:
| In the summer of 1992, a footnote in a book quoting a dead ambassador alleged that President Bush had had an affair with a longtime aide. The flimsy charge quickly made the front page of the New York Post, and a CNN reporter asked Bush about it at a news conference, prompting the president to denounce the network for its "sleazy questions." "I don't think you can ask the press to ignore the fools and idiots in our society," Fitzwater said. "Everyone knew from the beginning that the press would find a way to get it on the record and make it public." |
Speaking of Andrew Sullivan, here's some of what he said Friday on his blog:

Maybe this will be the first time that a true firewall is established between the web, the Brits and the rest of the media. Maybe I'm wrong and this won't break out as a major story. That in itself would be a media milestone. (On the other hand, Drudge got 15 million hits in the past 24 hours - twice his normal traffic.) Can we all pretend we didn't hear this and carry on as normal? |
Sleezeballs of the world unite.I want to know if at any time previous, during or after this affair Kerry had hemorrhoids.
Oh, and compare Kerry's treatment v. W Bush with Clinton's v. HW Bush:
-- From the September 1992 MediaWatch, a Newsbite on how the network morning shows which skipped Gennifer Flowers found it legitimate to discuss George Bush’s sex life: Dueling Jennifers. When Gennifer Flowers' story came out, neither she nor anyone from the Star was invited on any morning or evening interview show. But when The New York Post ran a story August 11 publicizing rumors that President Bush had an affair with aide Jennifer Fitzgerald, ABC's Good Morning America and CBS This Morning brought on sources of the New York Post story the next day.ABC interviewed Susan Trento, the author of The Power House, a book including the rumor. CBS brought on her husband, Joseph Trento, a former CNN reporter who had an interview with the supposed source of the rumor, Ambassador Louis Fields, who died in 1986. On the August 15 Inside Washington, Newsweek's Evan Thomas told a different tale: "Actually, we've heard the tape of this old Ambassador Fields, who's now dead, talking to one of the reporters, and the tape makes it pretty clear that he thinks it's just gossip."
