Media(to Clinton): "When will Whitewater be off the front page?"
Can I just point out to those here who seem to hang on every word of our thoroughly discredited mainstream American news media, that this is the same media who asked Bill Clinton the rediculous question above. They love to blame the victims of their spin-marathons for not setting the record straight. If they turned a firehose on Obama they would then ask him to explain this "shift" away from dry clothes. How anyone can put credence into what is said on MSNBC, CNN, the new CBS, the Today Show, AP or Fox News is beyond me.

This is what they do. This is why big corporations own media in this country. They parse and spin and innuendo and speculate and then they make the accused Democrat respond to their bullshit. Then they flip around and write headlines like:
"Obama denies shift to the right." Because it works most of the time.

This is the same media that spent 4 months outright accusing Gary Condit of killing and intern without ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE. They mocked him, harrassed him and demanded that he confess (What they needed was a waterboard and then they would have gotten that bogus confession out of him but anyway..), when it was all over and Gary Condit was NOT guilty afterall they just dropped the whole thing and moved on to the next parade of non-stop bullshit. Never apologized or set the record straight. This is called "Am-news-ia" -- they never act like or announce that they were wrong.

If you want to believe the cable news media and AP instead of our candidate then you should expect to be challenged to point to facts that support your leap of faith.
