For example, I doubt you'll see this story on the broadcast news tonight.

Bill, this story is all over the place. It's listed among the top stories at all these news outlet web sites. It's in today's Post and Times, those liberal rags. I woke up to it on my local NBC station. It's news.

One difference in coverage might be whether or not they opt to mention that Condit is a conservative who voted to investigate Clinton and his intern.

The kind of story that I've seen covered differently, for example, was the latest round of the boy scouts issue, which was triggered by the proposed amendments to the education bill a couple of weeks ago. On Fox, we heard over and over that some mean localities were picking on the Boy Scouts by withdrawing their special privileges to access kids in school. On the other outlets, you'd hear less about the issue. When they mention it, it's more about those noble boy scout troops that are standing up to their national leadership.
