Vince Foster died of a gunshot wound to the head and yet there are no x-rays of his head. The news media fail to report this and instead report the obviously false cover stories supplied to "explain" it.
But supplied by whom? The Clinton administration. If the TRUTH were investigated and the results supplied to the media by the Bush administration, do you think the mainstream media would get away with not reporting something as serious as the murder of Foster or a Secretary of Commerce? Of course not, especially now that Fox News is such a powerhouse. Look what effect Fox News had on Pardongate. The mainstream media was ignoring or glossing over it. Then because of Fox News reporting, they had to actually start reporting it and in some cases even did some half way decent investigations. Too bad that the Bush adminstration appears to have decided to ignore that one too. And the only reason the Riady Non-Refund (a blockbuster disclosure that came out last year) has been ignored by the media is that the GOP has ignored it. In my opinion, they are deliberating covering this up. WHY?
You may not buy that but I do with every thing I believe in because they press has been looking for any and all issues to stick this President with to make him look bad. The press did a number on the American people by covering up the facts on clinton and they are not about to admit they are wrong. Not to mention, where are you going to find a D.C. jury to convict either clinton? Not going to happen and it would be a waste of limited political capital that this President enjoys right now. You have to pick your fights and this is not one of those!
The less the clintons are in the press the more we should all be happy! The press want ms. clinton as President so why give them any ammunition to use against this President and portray her to be the victim of another witchhunt.
The final argument against it, is that we are in a war on terrorism and President Bush has a lot to deal with without digging into the clintons!
Just watch how fast these Intelligence hearings fall apart when they start going back into the 90's when clinton was in charge. IMHO you will see the DemocRATS start backing away as soon as Sen Shelby and the others start delving into clinton and what he knew and what he didn't do! Their whole outcry IMHO is to tarnish Pres Bush and his Administration before the Nov 2002 elections. It has been the DemocRAT MO for years to bring things out to do just that before an election. I do not believe they have changed.
The rest of the effect was probably the realization that Clinton's personal power to interfere with such reports had seriously declined.
Even I was surprised by the traction that this story received.
The reason that it will be difficult to see more such stories is that the Demoncrats are on the ropes and will expend much of their capital to prevent a drubbing in November.
Fox news has grown enough that they are probably concerned that they cannot keep up the pace without encouraging even more "fair and balanced" reporting which includes ridiculous liberal viewpoints.
Just this morning I spoke with a co-worker whose husband gets angry each morning as he reads the local newspaper. I begged her to get him to stop providing over $500 dollars per year in value (subscription plus advertising revenue) to an organization dedicated to destroying everything which right-thinking Americans value.
I will report on how she does with him later. I encourage everyone to drop their local liberal rag now. Only this will create the free press which is necessary for full accountability.
As for Bush, I have pointed out that MORE people voter for Gore than for Bush. It would be a mistake to over-estimate what can be done quickly with such a thin margin of support.
