Two forces are at play in the apparent role reversal, newspaper editors, television executives and journalism critics say.

Mainstream news outlets, like the candidates themselves, are struggling with a shorter-than-usual campaign. While it forces candidates to find new and quicker ways to convey their message in a cluttered field, the compressed campaign propels the news media to present potentially explosive articles closer to Election Day than they might prefer.

And past hesitance among some news organizations to break big news about a leading candidate close to Election Day seems to be ebbing in the news environment of three major 24-hour cable news networks and the Internet.

WRONG. WRONG AGAIN!!

Usually the left dominated media has chosen to ignore rumors of bimbo manhandling by leftist democrats like Clinton and Condit. Only the tabloids would touch it when it was a halo wearing Democrat.

Now they have a couple of rumors about a REPUBLICAN!!! WOW!!! Now there's something.

Just another vivid demonstration of the true bias of the press. It's amazing that the NY Times is even pointing it out... then they try to spin it differently.

So the story behind the story is...
Newsweek will kill the story about Monica... why?
The LA Times will hold a story about a Republican for release just before an election? Why?

Oh, and they didn't have 24-hour news networks when Clinton and Condit were raping and killing? CNN has been around since well before the Clinton gang was around. The Internet has been with us since the mid nineties. (1993 by my counting, but you can say 1995 when Netscape made it prevalent.)

How about the truth this time? The press suppresses damaging stories when they are about liberal Democrats. When there is a damaging rumor, or even a lie that can be somewhat plausibly twisted... this should be held and released JUST BEFORE AN ELECTION where the Republican is deemed to have a chance.
