You can't be serious. If the lib-media had a shot, it would've take it . . . your pretensions toward even-handedness notwithstanding.
The media had "a shot" to go after Reagan on Ms. Walters' rape accusation. Indeed,
the book in which the charges first appeared sold quite well, and Selene Walters repeated the exact same charges in an interview with People that year.
Like I said (you may wish to reread my previous post) it may be that the media collectively intuited that the charges were to old to be relevant, that since Reagan was already out of office the story wasn't relevant, that Walters wasn't credible, that Reagan was a beloved figure who deserved sympathy rather than dirt-digging, or whatever.
