Pro-Clinton coverage Clinton sex scandals received more attention than any other story on ABC, NBC and CBS evening news shows during the first four months of the year, according to a study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs. But Mr. Clinton "has fared better on the evening news than any of his major accusers," the center said in a press release. "The study found that Mr. Clinton and his aides have been the networks' favorite sources for scandal quotes, and that charges relating to the president's sexual conduct have garnered the most TV time." Anonymous sources were cited for one out of every six comments on the evening news, "but statements from the Clinton camp comprised nearly two-fifths (37 percent) of all sources who were identified, more than all accusers combined." And the president's accusers received mainly bad press. "Most evaluative comments from news sources or reporters questioned the conduct, motives or truthfulness of Kathleen Willey (64 percent negative), Monica Lewinsky (75 percent negative) and Paula Jones (78 percent negative). Independent counsel Kenneth Starr was criticized three times as often as he was praised (74 percent vs. 26 percent positive)." washtimes.com
