Once again Matt Drudge has run across a Democrat shocker. Once more, the mainstream media seems to be ignoring it.
Will this one turn out to be as true as the Monica Lewinsky story? If it does, all hell is going to break loose inside the Democratic Party, and once again proof of Leftwing media bias will emerge....(Snip)
It is certain that the networks and Americas large news organizations, including the press services and newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post, have been suppressing this story, defending such suppression on the basis that there is no smoking gun.
This does not compare favorably with their approach to a similar charge against George Bush Sr.
In 1992 top reporters swiftly reacted to a footnote in a book by Susan Trento, wife of CNN reporter James Trento who was the source of the original rumor -- apparently.
CNN rushed to get the rumor into the media stream as White House correspondent Mary Tillotson confronted President Bush as he hosted Israel Prime Minister Rabin in the Oval Office.
"There is an extensive series of reports in today's New York Post alleging that a former U.S. ambassador, a man now deceased, had told several persons that he arranged for a sexual tryst involving you and one of your female staffers in Geneva in 1984."
NBC's Stone 'Stone' Phillips to the president's face at the height of the rumor mongering: "Have you ever had an affair?"
CBS' Harry Smith then confronted Bush spokesperson Mary Matalin with the rumor over morning coffee:
"Let me ask you about something else. There's a book out, or a book that's just about out that in a footnote names that then-Vice President Bush had an affair with an assistant when he was on a mission in Geneva....(Snip)

I disagree - they know they have bias, they know they lie, but it's for "the cause", so it's ok. Because the left has rejected moral absolutes, even lying, bias, slander and so on are virtuous if it helps their guys stay in or regain power.
They are immoral, amoral, shameless, and they don't care if it shows.
They need to be defeated.

Is "Oregon Magazine" produced out of some guy's Mom's basement? Drudge does his from his living room. Ann Coulter writes in her underwear. It's the information age. The big companies don't have a monopoly on publishing anymore. Nowadays, everybody has a blog. I don't see where Jayson Blair in his big New York Times office building has anything more to offer than anybody else.
