Media Bias Exposed -- Razin' Cain

[NightHawkeye]

TRUTH seems to be vastly different than some people's recollections ...

Networks Hit Cain Story 50 Times in Less Than Four Days; Ignored Clinton Scandals

Who cares?

Links to biased websites about media bias are funny.

I looked at the first 25 titles of that site's bias history. They were all about liberal's/democrat's biases. I mean shouldn't 1-2 out of 25 be about biased conservatives, don't cha think? You betcha!

Truth from that website isn't possible.

Good. I hope this destroys Cain's campaign. The man is not fit for office.
Once again, he's Federal Reserve, pro massive deficits, pro big government, pro military intervention.
A terrible, terrible choice for president.

FoxNews didn't even exist back them. CNN was the onl 24/7 news show, iirc. Other channels only had an hour in the evening and an hour in the night for all news on weekdays.

Apples and oranges.

Ahh ... so you're saying it takes all three broadcast networks plus a full-time cable news network, plus all print journalism to combat the truth? Guess that's probably always been the case for propaganda, huh?

Thanks for puttin' things in perspective, DaisyDay. I'm feelin' pretty good now. Thanks.

NightHawkEye could you enlarge your sig just a tad. I can hardly make out the pic.

Like I said in another thread, the Clinton incidents was before the 24-hour news cycle and before the internet. Trying to compary raw numbers is useless and potentially misleading.

It is your thread, so kindly show us where we might look at the evidence and the manner is which the evidence was collected by the Media Research Center. The article does not provide ant details other than

devoting an incredible 50 stories to the allegations since Monday morning. In contrast, over a similar period these networks mostly ignored far more substantial and serious scandals relating to Bill Clinton.

Surely you can show us the data.

Before the Internet? Drudge got most of the credit for exposing the scandal. Last I checked, he's on the Internet

Drudge reported on Lewinsky. Do you have any proof that he uncovered the Willey, Jones or Broaddrick scandals?

When Clinton incidents occured the internet was still mostly a novelty and not a pervasive presence like it is today. The same with the 24-hour news cycle; yes, CNN existed but at the time the vast majority of people got their news from the evening news on the major networks.

Much needed historical perspective. Thanks.

Republicans do set themselves up. When your party's mantra is "family values," you're gonna get hammered for any perceived indiscretion.

Citizen Cain hasn't done much to help himself. First, he denied anything happened. Then he couldn't remember the details. Then he admitted a settlement was paid. But he claimed that all he did was comment that a staffer was short, like his wife. Then he predicted that more allegations would come out, and blamed Rick Perry's campaign. Now he's backtracked on that. He's just been all over the place in responding to this. None of this may matter to conservative GOP primary voters, but he needs a lot more than them to win a general election.

Nope.

He's never denied it. He's been uncertain of the details, but never denied. Most of the uncertainty has been introduced by the spin-meisters. Cain's been guilty of faulty memory ... kinda like Reagan, ya know ...

In case you missed it, the Lewinsky scandal only surfaced due to the Paula Jones lawsuit. Moreover, Lewinsky was one of the Clinton incidents

Sorry but Drudge took a lot of heat for breaking the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal ON THE INTERNET

And the article in the OP doesn't even mention Clinton/Lewinsky.

And Kermit is dead on, comparing today's news to that of 15 years ago is foolish at best. The media landscape has changed a bunch. It's apples to oranges.

In case you missed it, the OP makes no mention of Lewinsky. That means that this is not about Drudge or Lewinsky

By your sidestep of my question, I have to conclude that you cannot provide any evidence that Drudge uncovered the Willey, Jones or Broaddrick scandals.

Hard to believe you wouldn't remember being accused of sexual harassment - not the easiest thing to forget I would imagine.

Not to mention that when you're telling the truth, you don't have to remember to keep your stories straight. He may well be innocent, but he's acting guilty.
