By now, nearly everybody who cares has probably seen former President Bill Clinton's -- let's say 'animated' -- response to 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace's questions about his administration's failed efforts to demolish al-Qaeda before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
But Wallace himself hit on the key media bias question ...
Trying to explain Clinton's hot reaction, Wallace said he read the transcripts of the ex-President's other media appearances in the last few days -- on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' CNN's 'Larry King Live,' FNC's 'On the Record with Greta van Susteren,' among other programs.
Wallace said he was "astonished" that none of the others even bothered to raise the terrorism question with Clinton, particularly with his team's attacks on ABC's "Path to 9/11" docu-drama.
Clinton sounded like a left-wing press critics with his repeated jibes at Fox as a "conservative" or "right-wing" outfit.
But what, besides liberal bias, explains the other journalists' total lack of interest in even asking a single question about Clinton's inadequate terror response?

Chris Wallace seems to be one of the few truly fair, hard-working and hard-hitting reporters around nowadays.
I think that Bill expected to get asked a tough question and he came prepared to refute it. The man might have a black soul but no one can doubt his abilities as a politician.
His handlers never let him have a live press conferance.....they never knew what he'd say. It makes me appreciate President Bush all the more.
Clinton would never face the press corps the way Bush does.
"pustulent"
If you had to reduce Bill Clinton to one word, this would be a good one.
"Barbara Wise - Commerce Department staffer. Worked closely with Ron Brown and John Huang. Cause of death unknown. Died November 29, 1996. Her bruised, nude body was found locked in her office at the Department
of Commerce."
WHAT? The lamestream media did a damned good job burying THIS story. Imagine the uproar if such a thing happened today to a Bush Commerce Dept. staffer in her office...

The old media is good at looking away when the revelation of some news might hurt the DUmmies.
Then they have breaking news for months if a story might help the DUmmies.

There was a blurb about the Clinton interview on our local ABC affiliate tonight, followed by an ABC news report showing our "failures" in Iraq under the President Bush administration. Sickening.
Kudos to Wallace, but when it comes to the liberal MSM, I'm afraid we're fighting a losing battle.
I hope you're right.
The G spot finger of wannabe.
and when they start pointing fingers in your face...!
At the beginning of the interview couldn't help but get vision of a "Lobbyist For Sale" sandwich on him.
A possible minor stroke, drugs, dental work ........ or Hillary hit him in the head with another lamp.
"the stepfather than raised Chris, not his left-wing father Mike Wallace"
I was raised by a liberal so it doesn't matter who raises you. I can smell liberals a mile away, and Chris Wallace is a liberal, who puts on a conservative face for FoxNews.
