[quote=Anonymous][quote][i]he media would be charging to his rescue like they did with Bill Clinton, explaining everything away, saying "oral sex is not sex...technically" and other such things.[/i]

the media did not mostly say that - the NYT in particular turned on him. Democrats denounced his conduct, and called for him to be censored. Is dishonesty consistent with Christianity?

BBC1

I remember this clearly, and is one of the reasons I will [u]never[/u] vote Democrat:

[i]"I'd be happy to give him a blow job just to thank him for keeping abortion legal," boasted former Time magazine White House correspondent Nina Burleigh about Bill Clinton.[/i]
 
This is the media saying this, or in this case, a representative of the media.  And I recall the media vigorously attacking “the bimbos” who brought their accusations.

I never said there was a media blackout, or none of the media said anything negative. But I do remember that there was a lot of people in the media coming to his defense because Clinton was sympathetic to the liberal-progressive-feminist agenda.

From Gloria Steinem:

[i]If all the sexual allegations now swirling around the White House turn out to be true, President Clinton may be a candidate for sex addiction therapy. But feminists will still have been right to resist pressure by the right wing and the news media to call for his resignation.[/i]

So you are correct the media was attacking him too, even calling for his resignation. I don’t remember the media calling for his resignation, so I must have missed the news cycle. It may be because around that time I transitioned from college to a job and moved out of state and became too busy to keep up with it all.

But I do clearly remember there were a lot of people in the media charging to his rescue, especially feminists who ought to have been the first to condemn him.  Feminists have no credibility any more, as far as I’m concerned.

So no, I was not being dishonest.  It cannot be denied that the media, and big liberal democrats like Steinem, came to Bill Clinton’s defense.   I may not have all my facts straight because it was long ago, and if so, I admit my mind is not clear on everything, but I was not being dishonest because I did not intentionally try to lie.  My recollection of that time is “the media” swarming to Bill Clinton’s defense, dismissing his accusers as lying bimbos, and equating Ken Starr as some type of gestapo inquisitor or something.  That is my impression of the time.

My news source back then was almost exclusively Rush Limbaugh which I would listen to intermittently to catch the news.  There was no broadband back then so I never attempted to live-stream news I might have missed through a 56k baud modem tying up the phone line for hours.    [/quote]
