Hillary and Monica (and CNN)

CNN reported today on the release of the Clinton library files. Using their recently acquired brand of incisive journalism, they got to the meat of the subject, asking what young people are going to think about the Monica Lewinsky thing.

Well, I’m not young anymore, but I once was, and I’m guessing young people are going to think the following about the Monica Lewinsky issue:

Monica Lewinsky? What the hell does she have to do with anything? Hillary Clinton didn’t have sex with her: Bill did. Who cares? And what does this have to do with Hillary Clinton’s political career? Is CNN such a sexist network that Hillary should always be viewed merely as Bill Clinton’s wife, and never on her own terms? Why not talk about Hillary’s record instead? What a bunch of hypocrites, always accusing others of sexism and political incorrectness, when they’re just a bunch of scandal mongers and immature perverts, continuously sinking into the gutter and trying to spin everything for salaciousness and sensationalism! F*ck CNN, I’m watching BBC World News from now on!

Is that close? (I hope so. I’d like to think our younger generation won’t fall for all this tripe our “news” agencies spew out in lieu of cogent facts.)

CNN also mentioned that these documents had to be released by law last year, but that they’re just being released now, and they wondered if there was anything that might reflect poorly on Hillary for her presidential run. It’s funny, but the fact that they were not released on time tells me she thinks she’s above the law, and that’s worse than most of whatever else might be in there, I’d think. But apparently CNN doesn’t have much of a problem with such things. (They mentioned it, but not as if it were problematic or indicative of any character flaw. Hmm, a pass on a crime for Hillary while most of the recent coverage/air time has been obsessing over Bridgegate: partisan much, CNN?)

Here’s the story from a slightly more reliable (but still heavily partisan) source:

(You know, it’s just sad. CNN used to be the best news network. Now they’re a joke, using most of their time to hold panel discussions about offensive comments. It’s just pathetic. And it’s not really news anymore either. Thank God BBC World News just appeared as a cable news channel: they show real news, and no partisan bias, either. It’s actually a lot like CNN used to be before they became a network of partisan propaganda, political correctness and scandal rag muckraking.)

Oh, and the Monica issue being raised is obviously a smoke screen to distract from any real issues that may be there in the files to hurt Hillary’s campaign: that much is crystal clear.
