'....I heard someone say that a nexus-lexus search at that time showed only about 50-100 hits on the Bush story..... Clinton's story turned up 13,000 hits...." I find that claim highly suspicious. I don't recall Clinton's draft dodging was not a major news item in 1992 in the print media. It certainly was not reflected in how the major networks covered the story either (10 times - see below). Where are the other 12,990 hits?.... ABC, CBS and NBC Give Bush “AWOL” Charge Double the 1992 Coverage of Clinton’s Draft Dodging <font size=4> ....The networks followed McAuliffe’s agenda. From Feb. 1- 16, ABC, CBS and NBC aired 63 National Guard stories or interview segments on their morning and evening news programs. That’s far more coverage than Bill Clinton’s draft-dodging scandal received in 1992. Back then, the three evening newscasts offered 10 stories on Clinton’s complete evasion of service; this year, those same broadcasts pumped out 25 stories on whether Bush’s acknowledged service was fully documented..... <font size=3> mediaresearch.org __________________________________________________________ "And BTW, many of Bob Doles campaign commercials included clips of him in a military hospital and in full uniform....so yes, he did run as a war hero. " This link seems to be completely at odds with your assertion........ cnn.com
