Media Far Too Nice to Bush

"Less than eight years after the national press lamented that Bill Clinton came to the presidency with too many unresolved questions about him and his past, it could happen all over again if George W. Bush wins next Tuesday. On stories ranging from his failure to disclose his 24-year-old drunk driving record to substantive matters like the $1 trillion gap in his Social Security plan, an acquiescent press, perhaps feeling guilty about being duped by Bill Clinton, has let Governor Bush get away with entirely too much."

– "Outrage of the Campaign" from Al Hunt, Executive Washington Editor of the Wall Street Journal, November 4 Capital Gang on CNN.
