Ann Coulter [1] points out some contrasts in coverage:
“(Gary) Aldrich was mentioned on fewer than a dozen TV shows during the entire year of his book’s release … many with headlines like this one on CNN: ‘Even Conservatives Back Away From Aldrich’s Book.’ That’s almost as much TV as Lewinsky mouthpiece William Ginsburg did before breakfast on an average day.”
…
“But a “tell-all” book that attacks the Bush administration gets the author interviewed on CBS’ “60 Minutes” (two segments), CNN’s “American Morning” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” with an “analysis” by George Stephanopoulos, no less. In the first few days of its release, Clarke’s book was hyped on more than 200 TV shows. “
She goes on to point up that:
In contrast to Aldrich’s book, which was vindicated with a whoop just a few years later when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, many of Clarke’s allegations were disproved within days of the book’s release.
Oh, yeah.. THAT liberal media, huh?
