Media Water Bearers

Media Water Bearers

To their last breath, the media will insist that it is fair, honest, unbiased and non-partisan. But, it's very easy to compare how differently they treat Republicans and Democrats. Brent Bozell has a look at how the press treated Bill Clinton's Vietnam non-service with George Bush's National Guard service.

"It is a testament to the dignity of George Bush the Elder that in 1992, he refused to make endless fun of the draft shenanigans of Bill Clinton, who skipped off to Oxford after he received his draft notice to blab endlessly about politics and play strip poker with the lasses.

But he should have said something serious about it. Bush's campaign was so devoid of red meat on Clinton's military deficiencies that it was almost vegetarian in its fear of liberal media pounding.

Twelve years later, seemingly we have role reversal with President George W. Bush. Except there is no evidence of scandal against this president. And the Democrats won't stop making scurrilous accusations. And the media are eagerly promoting it all."
