There is this trick in politics that seems to work well: tell a lie; tell it over and over and over again; and eventually people accept it as truth. We the people could only hope that when a presidential race comes around, that mainstream media helps us sort out truth from fiction; helps us in fact-finding. If they don’t, then we the people become prey to many lies and exaggerations of over-ambitious candidates (like the Clintons). So here is a note from me to the gatekeepers of the fourth estate: do your job; please.
Mainstream media folks (and all of us) should not forget that in 1992 when Bill was running for president, a story broke whereby some audio tapes belonging to a woman named Gennifer Flowers had surfaced. This woman claimed to have had a lengthy affair with Bill Clinton. On the tapes were recordings of Bill making disparaging statements about a potential rival for the presidency (Mario Cuomo). Bill eventually apologized to Cuomo (Italian descent) for suggesting on said tapes, that he Cuomo (or his relatives) was in some way connected to the underworld (Mafia). Then Bill and Hillary Clinton went on the “Sixty Minutes” television program (CBS) and denied the affair between Bill and Ms. Flowers; in essence they called her a liar. This woman suffered greatly because of this; like many others before and after.
