I do think that if the 'net- and talk radio- had been as big then as it is now, the clinton crew would not have gotten out of the gate, let alone won.
Their rot, corruption, and crime were well known to most reporters of that era- they just did not think us rubes worthy ( not sophisticated, like they are ) of being told about it.
When I got on the 'net almost 2 years ago, 42% of Americans got their news from "alternative" sources.... a few months ago, that was up to 50%, and more & more are questioning the bias of the press. I still don't think most Americans realize how left-wing the "entertainment" media is, but they will learn, given time.
