One media mogul apologizes: *Media Research Center CyberAlert* Wednesday September 2, 1998 (Vol. Three; No. 143) 3) The MediaWatch Review appears below, but after the issue went to print one rare media figure did admit his guilt in helping Clinton perpetrate a fraud: USA Today founder Al Neuharth. In his August 21 column Neuharth conceded: "He now is a self-confessed liar and philanderer. He long has been a double-talking double-dealer. Shame on him. But shame on many of you, and on me, too." Neuharth elaborated: "For more than a decade, I generally was a Clinton fan. It started when I met him in the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock, Ark., in July 1987. That year, I interviewed governors of all 50 states. Put Clinton at the top of my published list of Democrat potential Presidents. "Some of my Arkansas media associates warned me Clinton made Gary Hart look like an amateur womanizer. Others said his draft-dodging made Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden seem like flag-waving patriots. "I dismissed this as political gossip. For a decade, I focused more on Clinton's charisma than his character. "Why my mea culpa now? 'The Speech' Monday night. I listened and re-listened. Read and re-read. And finally, I got it. "When Clinton said that his under-oath lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky was 'legally accurate,' it was the same old double-talk. No shame. No blush. Instead, he put the blame on independent counsel Ken Starr for forcing him to 'fess up about his misdeeds. "I apologize for failing to use my podium these past years to point out the President's serious shortcomings. Bill Clinton is brilliant. But he's full of baffle and B.S. He's unfit to sit in the Oval Office." As they say, better late than never. But why did it take him so long?

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't at Tiannamin Square demonstrating with the students Didn't you hear his speech the other day where he remembered vividly being there in the Square? I think I can quote him exactly: "I remember helping build the statute of liberty. I remember the newspaper I cut the paper mache strips from, I remember the strips I pasted in place. I remember walking out onto the street and standing in front of the tank, and moving from side to side to block the tank as it tried to get past me. I remember it all vividly, as though it were the day I wasn't alone with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
