Monica turned journalism inside out (The demise of MSM alert)

I discovered Free Republic in July 97 after a Tony Snow syndicated article that was in the Washington Times that referenced the Drudge Report breaking Kathleen Wiley’s private time with the ‘Toon.

Drudge had a link called “The Whitwater Page”.

That’s when the addiction started.

I remember the Friday night after BJ’s ham fisted testimony, when Drudge posted the bombshell, then Sunday morning when Cokie Roberts and George Will mentioned it, and then KABOOM: when the Wash Post spattered it as a banner headline that Wednesday. For some reason, that’s when it became huge.

I’ll never forget some of the hilarious FR posts from that time.

You will all find this interesting.... How the MSM spikes..

I was in Los Angeles, around March or April of that year on a business trip. At round 4:30 or 5:00 , I got back to the hotel room. Turned on the TV, and I swear to god on a stack of bibles, I see a 15 second preview of a srory that is scheduled to air on the following news program about Bill Clinton raping some woman. That a man who was friends of the rape victim would talk, and I think I saw a video of the guy who was a friend of Juanita Broderick's in this preview video segment.

I was amazed , watched the whole news program, and the story never aired!!!!!

I guarantee some one in the white house called that local station and threatened them with the wrath of Cankles.

Needless to say, 8 or 9 months later I was amazed yet again when her story finally started to break. DEJA VUE!!!!!

People who feel no shame for shameful acts are not worth a rotten bean. Those who admire the shameless are worth even less.

Boy does that speak volumes. I was blue in the face debating some Lefty friends in '98 when they continually defended that scumbag, seemingly comfortable with what he did to the office of President.

Thus began one of the most entertaining years in American politics.

This must be some new definition of the word "entertaining" of which I was unaware. I remember it well, and I found it appalling. A President got away with diddling an intern in the Oval Office, lying about it under oath, and got to wag his finger at the rest of us, treating the American people like some sort of peasantry. I did not find it funny or entertaining. Bill Clinton is a 12 year old trapped in a grown man's body, and that is being generous.
