Yep! Who can ever forget that scumbag Peter Jennings opening every evening's 'ABC World News Tonight' with the phrase, "More bad news for George Bush tonight....", and then reporting the latest declining "economic indicators"? Month after month of reports like that suddenly ceased in the first week of November 1992, the day after Clinton was elected.
Not long afterward, reports about the "recovering economy" began to appear, including one famous one where the New York Times credited Bill Clinton with turning the economy around even though the data they cited covered a time period during which Bush was still President. The New York Times actually took the bold move of "apologizing" for that error - - in a blurb way back in section 'F' somewhere.
Back in the 1990’s, CNN was often referred to in Europe and beyond, as “The Clinton News Network”.
It was only Americans who were routinely fooled by it. Virtually everything that came out of their mouths back then was a blatant lie or so stilted in favor of the Clinton agenda that it was just garbage. By 1999, Army Psyops were even working at CNN, to assure that the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia was coming off as “a hit” with the public. And nothing has changed (for the better) with CNN since then; instead, it has made them even bolder and more blatant.
Anyone who believes CNN needs to have their head examined!
That reminds me of a biased incident done by the local ABC station in New York. In August of 92 they sent a camera crew to do a LIVE report in a shopping mall (Roosevelt Mall) in Long Island New York. They asked everyday people, shoppers, in the mall how they felt how the economy was doing. The results were pretty evenly mixed. Some thought it was doing great. Some thought it was doing terrible, some thought it was doing good but could do better, etc.
Fast forward to early December. The elections are over, Clinton is the winner and is now awaiting inauguration day. The same local ABC station decides to do another report on what people think how the economy is doing. They tell us that they are going to Roosevelt Mall. Then they air a tape of what they reported back in August. The word "LIVE" was still in the upper corner, even though it wasnt a live report, it was a tape of a report from months ago, AND the ones who thought the economy was doing terrible back in August were edited out! All that was left over were the people who thought that the economy was doing good or great.
So, they tried to mislead the viewers into thinking this was a LIVE report (no one mentioned the fact that this was a tape of a live report from months earlier) when it wasnt, and they edited out any negative coments about the economy. All of the sudden, after the election, it was all gundrops and rainbows. (It was hard not to miss the fact that in their December report that they tried to pass of as a LIVE feed, people were dressed for the summertime. Short pants, short sleeved shirts, etc.)
Not long afterward, reports about the "recovering economy" began to appear, including one famous one where the New York Times credited Bill Clinton with turning the economy around even though the data they cited covered a time period during which Bush was still President.
Two years after Clinton was elected, I saw on one of the Sunday morning shows I think it was, a Clinton supporter (cant recall if he was just a rep for the Dem party or an actual employee for the Clinton administration or both) and a Republican guy (also cant recall his name). The Clinton supporter claimed that Clinton was responsible for three years of our good economy. Of course, as I have pointed out above, at the time Clinton was in office only two years. This sailed over the heads of both the interviewer and the Republican as they both let that go unchallenged.
