Holly, it's been documented by media watchdog groups the exact amount of time spent on different stories. I don't have the facts right here in front of me, but for instance, when a Clinton administration official is indicted for some felonious act, the story gets something along the following:
ABC - 20 seconds
NBC - 15 seconds
CBS - 13 seconds
The next story is something about the effects of El Nino, and gets 5 minutes or more.
Try this, Holly - Ask people you know how many Clinton political appointees they think have been indicted for felonies by federal grand juries. Ask them how many of these were cabinet dept heads, and how many have resigned soon after such indictments have been made. Ask them to guess how many people with close ties to Bill Clinton (personally or from business deals) have spent time in a federal prison for those activitities. BTW, why DID Susan MacDougal refuse to speak what she knew to the grand jury about Bill Clinton's knowledge of illegal activities in the Whitewater land deal? How many people even know that Susan MacDougal is in jail, and why she's in jail?
Holly, the media has given such scant coverage to this ongoing corruption that I was surprised myself when the WSJ did a summary recently of all the scandals this administration has been involved in. I would venture to say that if you listed by President the number of political appointees who have been indicted for felonies by grand jurys, I would have to guess that the Clinton administration would be revealed as the most corrupt administration ever in the history of our country. But you'll probably never read about such an analysis from the media. Why not? Because something like 85% of employees belonging to the mainstream (NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc) media voted for Bill Clinton. |
