No, they didn't give Clinton a free ride, but some things he pulled were so obviously scandalous that they had to smack him around a little bit. And they do give conservatives airtime, but look at how they're treated in "straight" news coverage (a la Dan Rather) when nobody's being interviewed. As for Clinton being a moderate, he didn't get to be the leftist he wanted to be (see Hillarycare and the 1994 election). Check out Bias by Bernard Goldberg sometime. You'll see what I'm talking about.

I have not read Bias, but I will. Lets say Dan Rather skews his reporting in a pro-Clinton way (which I see no evidence of). He is still one "Liberal" voice compared to the conservative talking head gallery on Meet the Press, This Week (in Washington), and anything on Fox. I am not suggesting that the Media is right wing; I am saying that it is a myth that the Media is control by (and skewed) "liberals". If anything, the media is corporate owned...and I do not believe corporations are liberal
