Regarding JFK, TJ, FDR, Ike and Harding amongst others....

Message 7826246

Where was the clown prince Sam Donaldson when you needed him...

Plus too bad there wasn't a "druge" report back "then"

Thus all the salacious prurient details that sell "the news" weren't as much of a factor THEN as they are now...or the "office" would have been "defiled" long ago.....

Sex sells.....Lies don't...Heck if this was just about "perjury" do you really think the media would have cared?

Get real....Mr. Cigar...Man....

Heck I find the Jerry Singerization of the major media the most repugnant aspect of this whole ordeal.....

Geraldo and especially Jerry...both make me want to vomit....

It's all about pandering...and manufacturing consent....

Suggest reading for further insights regarding my above comments...

Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business " ...Viking Press

and

Noam Chomsky's + Ed Herman's "Manufacturing Consent : The Political Economy of the Mass Media"....Pantheon Books
